Crystallization from an aqueous methanol system composed of Ni(NO3)2, 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) and LiTCNQ (TCNQ is 7,7,8,8-tetra-cyano-quinodi-methane) in a 1:3:2 molar ratio yielded single crystals of bis-[tris-(2,2'-bi-pyridine-κ2N,N')nickel(II)] bis-(7,7,8,8-tetra-cyano-quinodi-methane radical anion) bi[7,7,8,8-tetra-cyano-quino-dimethanide] hexa-hydrate, [Ni(C10H8N2)3]2(C24H8N8)(C12H4N4)2·6H2O...

The interaction between 4, 7, 13, 16, 21, 24 - hexaoxa-1,10 - diazabicyclo [8.8.8] hexacosane (C222) and 7,7,8,8- teracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) has been studied in chloroform at 25°C. The results indicate a two step mechanism. At the first step, two adducts (assign as P1 and P2) are formed through equilibrium reactions. In continue and through nonequilibrium reactions the adducts are conve...

The relationship between the crystal structures, band structures, and electronic properties of acene-TCNQ complexes has been investigated. We focus on the newly synthesized crystals of the charge-transfer salt tetracene-TCNQ and similar to it perylene-TCNQ, potentially interesting for realization of ambipolar transport. The band structures were calculated from first principles using density-fun...

Incorporation of 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) moieties into the acene backbone has been successfully achieved and two heptacene-TCNQ derivatives and one nonacene-TCNQ derivative have been synthesized and well characterized. Two TCNQ moieties have been embedded into heptacene and nonacene backbones for the first time. All the three compounds have good stability and solubility due to t...

Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) is widely used as an electron acceptor to form highly conducting organic charge-transfer solids. Surprisingly, the electron affinity (EA) of TCNQ is not well known and has never been directly measured. Here, we report vibrationally resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) of the TCNQ(-) anion produced using electrospray and cooled in a cryogenic ion trap. Photoe...

We report here the electrochemistry of emulsion droplets by observing single emulsion droplet collisions with selective electrochemical reduction on an ultramicroelectrode (UME). With appropriately applied potentials at an UME, we can observe the electrochemical effects of single collision signals from the complete electrolysis of single emulsion droplets, or selective electrolysis of redox spe...

An array of TCNQ (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane) lanthanide complexes, namely, [Ln2(TCNQ)4(H2O)10(EtOH)2][2TCNQ] x xH2O [Ln = La (1, x = 5), Pr (2, x = 3)], [Ln2(TCNQ)4(H2O)10][2TCNQ] x yH2O [Ln = Gd (3, y = 6), Dy (4, y = 5)] and [Ln(TCNQ)2(H2O)6][TCNQ] x H2O x MeOH [Ln = Er (5), Lu (6)], have been synthesized by salt-elimination reactions. X-ray crystallographic analysis indicate...

We have performed charge transfer phase formation studies on the donor/acceptor system bis(ethylendithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF)/tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) by means of physical vapor deposition. We prepared donor/acceptor bilayer structures on glass and Si(100)/SiO2 substrates held at room temperature and analyzed the layer structures by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and focu...
