A novel compound [(IBz)2Im](TCNQ) [(IBz)2Im=1,3-bis(4-iodobenzyl) imidazole cation, TCNQ-=7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethanide anion] was synthesized by the reaction of [(IBz)2Im]Br and LiTCNQ in CH3OH and its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/c with a=1.147 35(18) nm, b=2.028 1(3) nm, c=1.264 1(2) nm, β=104.73(0)°, V=2.666(65) nm3, Z=4, C29H19I2N6, Mr= 705.30, Dc=1.757 g·cm-3, R1=0.053 2 and wR2=0.111 2. The structure analysis shows that the anions are stacked into column with isolated π-dimers, and there is one type of TCNQ entries (TCNQ-), in agreement with the IR spectra analysis of the compound. The most prominent structural features are the completely segregated stacking columns of the TCNQ-anions and [(IBz)2Im]+ cations. CCDC: 759523. 相似文献
Facile synthesis and characterization of the highly conducting, thermodynamically favored, Tl(TCNQ) phase II microrods/nanorods onto conducting (glassy carbon (GC)) and semiconducting (indium tin oxide (ITO)) surfaces have been accomplished via redox-based transformation of 7,7,8,8-tetracynoquinodimethane (TCNQ) microcrystals. This electrochemically irreversible process involves the one-electron reduction of surface-confined solid TCNQ into TCNQ·? with concomitant incorporation of the Tl+(aq) cation, from the bulk solution, at the triple-phase boundary, GC or ITO│(TCNQ(s)/TCNQ·?(s))│Tl+(aq), through a nucleation/growth mechanism. Consistent with the conceptually related M(TCNQ) systems (M+ = Li+, Na+, K+, Ag+, and Cu+), the TCNQ/Tl(TCNQ) interconversion is strongly dependent upon scan rate, Tl+(aq) electrolyte concentration, and the method of attaching solid TCNQ onto the electrode surface. Spectroscopic (infrared (IR) and Raman), microscopic (scanning electron microscopy (SEM)), and surface science (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD)) characterization of the electrochemically synthesized material revealed formation of pure Tl(TCNQ) phase II. Importantly, the generic solid-state electrochemical approach used in this study not only offers facile protocol for controllable and preferential synthesis of Tl(TCNQ) phase II but also provides access to fabricate and tune the morphology to yield microrod/nanorod networks.
Graphical abstract Controlled synthesis of the highly conducting Tl(TCNQ) phase II with either nanowire or rod-like morphologies is achieved via a redox-based solid-solid phase interconversion of TCNQ microcrystals in the presence of a Tl+(aq) electrolyte.
The facile solid-solid phase transformation of TCNQ microcrystals into semiconducting and magnetic Ni[TCNQ]2(H2O)2 nanowire (flowerlike) architectures is achieved by reduction of TCNQ-modified electrodes in the presence of Ni2+(aq)-containing electrolytes. Voltammetric probing revealed that the chemically reversible TCNQ/Ni[TCNQ]2(H2O)2 conversion process is essentially independent of electrode material and the identity of nickel counteranion but is significantly dependent on scan rate, Ni2+(aq) electrolyte concentration, and the method of solid TCNQ immobilization (drop casting or mechanical attachment). Data analyzed from cyclic voltammetric and double-potential step chronoamperometric experiments are consistent with formation of the Ni[TCNQ]2(H2O)2 complex via a rate-determining nucleation/growth process that involves incorporation of Ni2+(aq) ions into the reduced TCNQ crystal lattice at the triple phase TCNQ|electrode|electrolyte interface. The reoxidation process, which includes the conversion of solid Ni[TCNQ]2(H2O)2 back to TCNQ0 crystals, is also controlled by nucleation/growth kinetics. The overall redox process associated with this chemically reversible solid-solid transformation, therefore, is described by the equation: TCNQ0(S) + 2e- + Ni2+(aq)+ 2 H2O <==> {Ni[TCNQ]2(H2O)2}(S). SEM monitoring of the changes that accompany the TCNQ/Ni[TCNQ]2(H2O)2 transformation revealed that the morphology and crystal size of electrochemically generated Ni[TCNQ]2(H2O)2 are substantially different from those of parent TCNQ crystals. Importantly, the morphology of Ni[TCNQ]2(H2O)2 can be selectively manipulated to produce either 1-D/2-D nanowires or 3-D flowerlike architectures via careful control over the experimental parameters used to accomplish the solid-solid phase interconversion process. 相似文献
A new family of molecule-based magnets of general formula V[TCNQR(2)](2).zCH(2)Cl(2) has been synthesized and characterized (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane; R = H, Br, Me, Et, i-Pr, OMe, OEt, and OPh). In addition, solid solutions of V[TCNQ](x)()[TCNQ(OEt)(2)](2)(-)(x)().zCH(2)Cl(2) composition have been prepared. Except R = Br, magnetic ordering was observed for all materials, with T(c) values between 7.5 K (R = Me) and 106 K (R = OEt), with R = H at 52 K. The substitution of electron-donating OMe and OEt groups for H in TCNQ increased T(c), whereas the substitution of less electron-donating alkyl groups (with respect to alkoxy groups) decreased T(c). The results of MO calculations indicate that neither the spin nor charge densities of the disubstituted TCNQs are sufficiently different to explain the wide range of critical temperatures. Although the structures of the amorphous materials are not known, it is proposed that the oxygen atom of the [TCNQR(2)](*)(-) acceptor (R = OMe and OEt) and the V(II) interact to form a seven-membered ring. This interaction could stabilize the structure and enhance the magnetic coupling, leading to an increased T(c). The magnetic properties of V[TCNQ](x)()[TCNQ(OEt)(2)](2)(-)(x)().zCH(2)Cl(2) deviated from the expected linear relationship with respect to x, exhibiting magnetic behavior more characteristic of a step function in a plot of T(c) versus x. 相似文献
The present article describes a thermochemical hole burning (THB) effect on a charge-transfer complex triethylammonium bis-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TEA(TCNQ)(2)) using single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) tips, which demonstrates the possibility of optimizing the THB storage materials and the writing tips for ultrahigh-density data storage. TEA(TCNQ)(2) is proven to be a high-performance THB storage material, which gives deeper holes and larger hole depth-to-diameter ratio as compared to the previous materials dipropylammonium bis-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane and N-methyl-N-ethylmorpholinium bis-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane. Instead of conventional Pt/Ir STM tips, SWNT tips made by a unique chemical assembly technique we developed have been shown to be excellent writing tips for greatly decreasing the hole sizes and increasing the storage density. Possible reasons for the improvements on the storage performance were discussed. 相似文献
The absorption spectrum of D-TCNQ (D is potassium, barium, calcium and perylene) has been studied between 3100 Å and 24000 Å and from 10 K to room temperature. In the metal compounds, the locally excited ultraviolet and visible bands sharpened considerably at lower temperatures revealing vibronic structure, while the charge transfer bands in the infrared remained relatively broad and temperature independent. In these compounds the TCNQ's stack on top of each other. We have also observed the monomer spectrum in Ba(TCNQ)2, indicating incomplete charge transfer. In the perylene- TCNQ compounds, we have observed at lower temperatures vibronic structure in the locally excited ultraviolet bands but not in the charge transfer intrared bands. We have also observed the monomer spectrum in the perylene-TCNQ compounds. 相似文献
The reported Raman spectrum of the Rb TCNQ salt allows, for the first time, examination of all the vibrational features of the TCNQ ? radical anion. The knowledge of the TCNQ fundamental frequencies as well as of those for neutral TCNQ makes it possible to interpret the infrared and Raman spectra of Cs2 (TCNQ)3 and to conclude that in this salt both neutral and negatively charged TCNQ units are present in the crystal. The result is a first fruitful application of vibrational spectroscopy to the study of complex TCNQ salts, opening the way to an extensive investigation of TCNQ semiconducting salts. 相似文献
