The capability to modify the electronic properties of materials by the interaction between donor and acceptor molecules plays a significant role in molecular electronics. Formation of molecular charge transfer complexes have been observed for different donor acceptor system in a lateral configuration [1]. Here, we present the structural and electronic properties of decamethylmanganocene (Mn(C5Me5)2) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ ) molecules on a Au(111) surface at 4.6K using low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy to investigate the perpendicular interaction between the molecules. The molecular complexes are formed by depositing Mn(C5Me5)2 on predeposited TCNQ on Au(111) surface. TCNQ formed well ordered self assembled domains of molecules. Perpendicular interaction between the Mn(C5Me5)2 and TCNQ were determined by means of conductance tunneling spectroscopy.
