Abstract
Charge transfer complexes composed of 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane and a quaternary nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound, the hydrogen at N-position of the heterocyclic compound being substituted by a group such as an alkyl group, an alkylene group or a cycloalkyle group. The complex may be either an abnormal one which contains neutral 7,7,8,8,-tetracyanoquinodimethane in an amount deviated from 1 mole per 1 mole of the complex, or a normal one which contains 1 mole of neutral 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane per 1 mole of the complex.
Claims2
A charge transfer complex of 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and an N-alkylated quinoline, the alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, the complex comprising both ionized TCNQ molecules and non-ionized molecules, the mole number of the non-ionized TCNQ molecules per mole of the complex being other than one.
