Abstract: | A donor-acceptor compound based on N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylene-diamine and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TMPD:TCNB) has been synthesized. The crystal structure of the black 1:1 complex formed between TMPD and TCNB has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction at room temperature. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with cell dimensions: a = 7.4986(15) ?, b =7.6772(11) ?, c = 8.0764(15) ?, alpha = 78.822(12) degrees, beta = 83.3779(19) degrees, gamma = 86.289(17) degrees .TMPD and TCNB molecules are stacked alternately in infinite columns along the a-axis. The structure does not seem to show the usual pi-pi interaction between the two aromatic rings, but indicates an n-pi interaction localized between the nitrogen atoms of the donor and the cyano groups of the acceptor. |
