Iron(II) phthalocyanine (FePc) self-assembly on Ag(110) has been studied in ultrahigh-vacuum conditions at room temperature by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. For submonolayer to monolayer coverage, FePc molecules lie parallel to the Ag(...
