Angle-resolved ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (ARUPS) was measured for one-monolayer coronene films deposited on Ag(111). The ( k x , k y )-dependent photoelectron momentum maps (PMMs), which were extracted from the ARUPS data by cuts at fixed binding energies, show finely structured patterns for the highest and the second-highest occupied molecular orbitals. While the substructure of the PMM main features is related to the 4 × 4 commensurate film structure, various features with three-fold symmetry imply an additional influence of the substrate. PMM simulations on the basis of both free-standing coronene assemblies and coronene monolayers on the Ag(111) substrate confirm a sizable molecule-molecule interaction because no substructure was observed for PMM simulations using free coronene molecules.
