The self-assembled structure of submonolayer manganese phthalocyanine (MnPc) on Pb(111) surface is investigated by using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). A "holelike" superlattice, which is superimposed on the self-assembled nearly quadratic network, is observed. High resolution STM images reveal that there are two distinct azimuthal orientations of MnPc molecules. It is found that by taking the two different orientations the self-assembly can further be optimized energetically by maximizing intermolecular orbital overlapping. It is this intralayer energy minimization process that leads to the characteristic holelike superlattice.
