64. At this point we have to add the following side note: for the HB/Ag(100) film no structural data about the vertical adsorption height is available, so we do not know how the HB/Ag(100) film fits into the picture. However, on the basis of the orbital binding energies and the above mentioned link to the adsorption heights (Fig. 4), we would expect that the adsorption distance of PTCDA in the HB structure on Ag(110) is in between that of BW/Ag(110) and T/Ag(100). Indeed, from general considerations regarding interface structure it is plausible that the adsorption height at the HB/Ag(110) is larger than at the BW/Ag(110) interface, because (1) increased intermolecular interactions between neighboring molecules (as are present in the HB phase) often lead to an increased molecule-substrate distance (this is known, e.g., from the comparison of high- and low-temperature phase of PTCDA on Ag(111)); and (2), the loss of commensurability in going from the BW to the HB phase on Ag(110) also suggests a reduced molecule-substrate interaction and thus a larger adsorption height. Hence it appears as if the HB/Ag(110) film fits into the above mentioned tendency (i.e. orbital binding energy increases with adsorption height), if one remembers that here the effective reactivity of the surface is reduced by intermolecular interactions which enforce incommensurability.
