Although
hexacene was first synthesized in 1939, the thin film
properties, which are interesting for future applications and fundamental
research, have never been investigated. Therefore, we synthesized
hexacene by reduction of 6,15-hexacenequinone, evaporated hexacene,
and grew films of variable thicknesses on Au(110). This allowed us
to study the electronic properties and molecular orientations in the
bulk as well as at the molecule–metal interface by X-ray absorption
spectroscopy (XAS) and photoelectron spectroscopy. Valence band spectra
of a multilayer hexacene film are compared to those of electronic
states obtained from density functional theory calculations. C 1s
core-level spectra show typical satellite structures of the extended
aromatic π-system, similar to pentacene. XAS shows that anisotropy
rises with decreasing film thickness and indicates that hexacene is
almost flat lying on the Au(110) substrate. The different peak shapes
of XAS spectra as a function of the film thickness, as well as changes
in valence band spectra and C 1s satellite structures, indicate a
strong electronic coupling of the molecular states with the states
of the Au(110) substrate at the interface.
