The conductance of oriented C60 molecules on Au(111) and Cu(100) was investigated using a low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscope. A remarkable dependence of spectra of the differential conductance on the adsorption orientation is observed for Au(111) that is almost absent for Cu(100). For C60 adsorbed on Au(111), the spatial distribution of the three lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals is revealed by maps of the differential conductance.
