Phthalocyanine molecules have been adsorbed to Ir(111) and to graphene on Ir(111). From a comparison of scanning tunneling microscopy images of individual molecules adsorbed to the different surfaces alone it is difficult to discern potential differences in the molecular adsorption geometry. In contrast, vibrational spectroscopy using inelastic electron scattering unequivocally hints at strong molecule deformations on Ir(111) and at a planar adsorption geometry on graphene. The spectroscopic evidence for the different adsorption configurations is supported by density functional calculations.

Some in-plane vibration energies are virtually identical with out-of-plane vibration energies [Fig. 1(b)]. As a consequence, the potential contribution from in-plane vibration modes to specular energy loss spectra would not be resolvable. However, due to the nearly perfect coincidence of the entire set of calculated out-of-plane mode energies with loss energies in specular H2Pc spectra the excitation of in-plane mode can be safely excluded.
