Abstract

Angle-resolved ultraviolet photoemission spectra using synchrotron radiation were measured for oriented thin films of bis(1,2,5-thiadiazolo)-p-quinobis(1,3-dithiole) (BTQBT) on graphite. From the photon energy dependence of normal emission spectra, the energy-band dispersion of π-bands were observed for the highest (HOMO) and next highest (NHOMO) bands. This is the first observation of intermolecular dispersion in a single-component organic molecular crystal. The results demonstrate that the BTQBT molecules have a strong intermolecular interaction, which can be derived from the introduction of a covalent interaction between sulfur atoms in addition to the usual intermolecular interaction by van der Waals forces.
