Alessio, P., Rodrfguez-Mendez, M.L., Saez, J.A.S., Constantino, C.J.L. Iron phthalocyanine in non-aqueous medium forming layer-by-layer films growth mechanism, molecular architecture and applications. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 12, 3972-3983 (2010). doi 10.1039/b922242c... 

Monolayer structures and epitaxial growth of vapor-deposited crystalline phthalocyanine films on single crystal copper substrates were studied using low energy electron diffraction Ordered monolayers of three different phthalocyanines, copper, iron, and metal-free, were seen on two different faces of copper, the (111) and (100). The monolayer structures formed were different on the two crystal faces and the several phthalocyanines yield nonidentical monolayer structures.
