The charge-transfer (CT) complexes of some N-arylcarbamates as donors with a number of 7r-acceptors have been studied spectrophotometrically. The Lewis basicities of the N-arylcarbamates as well as the types of interactions are discussed. The 'H-NMR spectra of some CT complexes with both 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) indicate a decrease o...

The synthesis and properties of a series of bis-tetrathiafulvalenes (bis-TTFs) containing nitrophenyl, aminophenyl or dimethylaminophenyl is reported. The synthesis was carried out by using routes involving Wittig-type, cross-coupling, reduction and alkylation reactions. The electron donor ability of these new compounds has been measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Charge transfer complexes wit...

A first-principles DFT study of the electronic structure of the two-chain molecular conductor NMP-TCNQ is reported. It is shown that the charge transfer occurring in this salt is not 1 but 2/3, finally settling the debate concerning the real charge transfer in this molecular metal. These calculations also lead to a simple rationalization of the three different regimes of 2kF and 4kF CDW instabi...

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been widely used in food and drug detection, biological medical sensing. In recent years, the study of non-metallic SERS substrates gradually become a hot field SERS. Here, we investigate modulation effect on activities 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetrachyanoquindimethylene (F<sub>4</sub>TCNQ) grown molybdenum disulfide (MoS<sub>2&l...
