Metal/organic interfaces are of the critical importance to the performance of modern organic semiconductor devices. Besides the idealized model systems with an atomically abrupt and chemically inert interface, more realistic systems with the formation of extended diffusion and reaction zones between metal and organic phase must be considered. These extended interfaces required bulk sensitive methods such as Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HAXPES) and Nanojoule Calorimetry for investigation. Here, we report on the interfaces between (a) Ca and sexithiophene (6T) and (b) Co and tetraphenylporphyrin (2HTPP), two model systems in which interface reactions were observed. Ca in contact to 6T forms CaS, resulting in massive structural changes of the organic semiconductor. In contrast, the reaction of Co with 2HTPP is much more specific and leads to the formation of the complex CoTPP as a well-define product. Depth profiling with HAXPES and complementary studies provide a comprehensive picture of the chemical and electronic structure of the interfaces.
