The codeposition of the organic molecules dithienobenzodithiophene (DTBDT)[1] and tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ) on metal surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum leads to the formation of a novel organic charge-transfer (CT) salt. By scanning tunneling spectroscopy at room-temperature we determined the energetic positions of the highest occupied (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied (LUMO) molecular orbitals of acceptor (F4TCNQ) and donor (DTBDT) in the pure and in the mixed phase. The mixed phase exhibits a new HOMO close to the Fermi energy depicting a charge-transfer of less than one elementary charge
in agreement with earlier results of the CT-salt TMP-TCNQ[2].
The binding energy of this new orbital varies in dependency on the underlying metal substrate, i.e. 0.4 eV on C(R15×3)/W(110) , 0.25 eV on a monolayer Co/W(110) and 0.16 eV on hcp Co(0001), thus revealing the possibility of tuning the hole injection barrier.
