The TTF-TCNQ charge donor-acceptor complex is a prototypical organic metal. In bulk, it crystallizes in a monoclinic structure built up from parallel stacks of TTF and TCNQ, showing anisotropic conduction along the molecular rows. Our aim is to study the interface of a TTF-TCNQ organic film with a metal. By means of Low Temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy (LT-STM and STS) we characterise the structure and electronic properties of sub-monolayer films of TTF-TCNQ grown on Au(111). Both molecular species adsorb with a planar configuration. Nevertheless there is a strong donor-acceptor recognition and TTF and TCNQ self-assemble in alternating one-dimensional rows. This arrangement modifies strongly the electronic properties of the molecular entities and the surface state inducing the formation of a resonance with one-dimensional nature delocalised along the TCNQ rows. Ab-initio calculations explain the origin of the detected resonances by a strong modification of the surface state of the underlying metal upon hybridisation with TTF on the mixed TTF-TCNQ phase.
