The molecular donor 9,9-ethane-1,2-diylidene-bis(N-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine) (NMA) has been synthesized, and its electronic properties were characterized at interfaces to metals with photoelectron spectroscopy. Here a decrease of the sample work function is observed that becomes larger with increasing molecular coverage and clearly exceeds values that would be expected for metal surface electron "push back" alone, confirming the electron donating nature of NMA. For tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3) deposited on top of a NMA-modified Au(111) surface, the electron injection barrier (EIB) is reduced by 0.25 eV compared to that on pristine Au(111). Furthermore, the EIB reduction depends linearly on Θ of the donor-modified Au(111) surface, adjustable by NMA pre-coverage. Comparisons will also be given to the stronger donor MV0.
