Electron donor-acceptor molecules are promising candidates for molecular electronic devices since they may generate separated electron-hole pairs upon absorption of photons. To preserve the intrinsic electronic character of such complexes upon adsorption, a particular attention must be focused on their interaction with the underlying surface. In this contribution, we will first show the adsorption of TTF-dppz [1], a fused piconjugated donor-acceptor molecule, deposited on insulating NaCl films on Cu(111). To investigate the interplay between the atomic structures of TTF-dppz and NaCl, we performed high-resolution scanning tunneling (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements at 5 K with CO-terminated tips. The charge distribution above individual molecules has been studied by local contact potential mapping [2,3] which reveals the coexistence of two charge redistribution depending on the adsorption site. In agreement with numerical calculations [4], such variation of the TTF-dppz properties is found to arise from the formation or not of a complex with a single Na+ ion of the surface. In a second example, we will describe the adsorption of porphyrin derivatives on hydroxylated rutile-TiO2(110). The interaction of the single molecules with the hydroxyl groups (OH) of the rutile surface has been particularly regarded by a combined STM/AFM study. We found that a relevant change of the charge distribution of those molecules is provoked by the presence or not of OH groups underneath [5]. Finally, we will discuss our first results on the adsorption ofphtalocyanin molecules on a topological insulator (Bi2Te3).
