We present an investigation of the electronic structure of a prototypical q
uasi-one-dimensional conductor, the organic compound TTF-TCNQ, by means of
angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. By comparison with LDA-band stru
cture calculations we identify significant deviations between experiment an
d theory. We discuss possible origins for these deviations in terms of elec
tronic correlations and surface effects in this material. (C) 2001 Elsevier
