Popis: The electronic properties and the thermal stability of a thin film of lead-phthalocyanine deposited on the InSb(100)-(4 x 2)/c(8 x 2) surface were studied by synchrotron radiation core level and valence band photoelectron spectroscopy. The interaction between the overlayer and the substrate was determined by analyzing the photoemission spectra of a thin film and of a single monolayer of adsorbed molecules. Subsequently the monolayer was annealed at increasing temperatures, leading first to a gradual change of the oxidation state of the central lead atom, then to a fragmentation of the macrocycle itself.
