Novel charge transfer (CT) compounds can be synthesized on the basis of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [1]. Microcrystals of the CT-compounds tetra- and hexamethoxypyrene/tetracyanoquinodimethane (TMP_x/HMP_x-TCNQ_y) in different stoichiometries x:y=1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 were grown from solution via vapour diffusion. These crystallite fractions were studied by NEXAFS with particular emphasis on direct fingerprints of a charge transfer. Oxygen and nitrogen K-edge NEXAFS gives direct access to the unoccupied orbitals in the donor and acceptor, respectively. With increasing HMP content, a strongly rising O 1s pre-edge signal comes along with a substantial drop of N 1s resonance intensity. Charge is transferred from the π^*-orbital of the methoxy-group to the σ^*-orbitals b_1g and b_2u and - to a weaker extent - to the π^*-orbitals b_3g and a_u of the cyano-group of TCNQ, particularly strong for the 2:1 compound.
