Abstract
The energy-level alignment at interfaces between three electroactive conjugated organic materials and Au was systematically varied by adjusting the precoverage of the metal substrate with the electron acceptor tetrafluoro-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ). Photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that electron transfer from Au to adsorbed F4-TCNQ was responsible for lowering the hole-injection barrier by as much as 1.2 eV. This novel interface modification scheme is independent of the charge transfer complex formation ability of the organic materials with the electron acceptor.Entities:
