High-resolution near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) measurements at MAX II, Lund (beamline I1011 [1]) were performed on a (TMTTF)2AsF6 [2] single crystal upon cooling from room temperature to 90 K. Systematic shifts of different spectral features of the F 1s and S 2p signal by up to 0.8 eV to opposite sides on the photon-energy scale with respect to the spectra at room temperature have been detected. Most likely, the shift of the S 2p signal is connected with the breakdown of itinerant conductivity and loss of screening when entering the charge-localization regime.The appearance of a new F 1s pre-edge signal upon entry into the charge ordering (CO) phase at 90 K is a clear fingerprint of the reorganization of the anions in the layered material and changing in the dimerization of molecular orbitals with respect to room temperature.Project funded by DFG through SFB Transregio 49.
