a I(z)-curves atop one of the lobes of the ZnPc HOMO at different V from −1.6 V to −2.5 V. b Constant-height STM images on ZnPc adsorbed on 5 ML NaCl/Au(111) at different Δz recorded at V = −2.5 V. The colored dashed lines indicate the position of the corresponding line profiles shown in c. The scale bar corresponds to 1 nm and applies to all images. Δz is given with respect to the STM setpoint of V = −2.5 V, I = 0.5 pA above the bare NaCl surface. d Constant-height STM images of ZnPc adsorbed on 5 ML NaCl/Au(111) at PIR (HOMO) and NIR (LUMO) for comparison.
