Direct evidence for controlled band filling in the mixed crystal NMPxPhen1−xTCNQ

Raman spectra of the segregated stack mixed crystal NMP_xPhen_1?xTNCQ and the mixed stack compound Phen TCNQ are presented. By means of the relation between charge transfer and line shift, we give for the first time a direct proof for controlled band filling in the mixed crystal series, whereas for Phen TCNQ a zero charge transfer is obtained. Raman spectra of Phenazine and the related NMP⁺ have also been measured and used for comparison.
