Electron transfer in a new highly conducting donor-acceptor complex

Luminescence and Single‐Molecule‐Magnet Behaviour in Lanthanide Coordination Complexes Involving Benzothiazole‐Based Tetrathiafulvalene Ligands

“…[23,30] Historically, TTF derivatives have been used for their donating abilities, which can lead to electronic conductivity. [31] A fruitful strategy is to add localized electrons to the TTF core from transition metals (3d and 4d) [32][33][34][35][36][37] or lanthanides. [30,38] Such π-d and π-f systems have shown exciting transport properties such as antiferromagnetic-superconductor or magnetic-field-induced superconducting transitions.…”

Cyanocarbons: A classic example of discovery‐driven research

“…The most remarkable substance along these lines is tetrathiafulvalenium tetracyanoquinodimethanide (12) (TTF-TCNQ) (Scheme 5). 9,10 It is the most highly conducting organic compound known (10 4 S/cm at 70 K). When a high-temperature superconductor was not found, DuPont dropped this line of research.…”

Challenges of organic “cocrystals”

“…Moreover, white light responsivity of P1T1 is higher than Organic cocrystal (also "co-crystal"), formed with two or more different components via non-covalent intermolecular interactions, possesses novel, unpredicted and unique properties, which are not the simple sum of those molecular components, e.g., with effect of 1+1>2. In this regard, organic cocrystals provide a distinctive strategy for the synthesis of novel multifunctional materials, and an important platform for exploring new fundamental physicochemical phenomena in molecular systems, such as high conductivity [1,2] Probably, the first cocrystal could be tracked back to 1844 assigning to the discovery of "quinhydrone" by WÖhler [17], while the conception of "cocrystal" was firstly used by Schmidt and Snipes [18] to describe the crystal of pyrimidine and purine complex in 1967. However, the widely acceptance of this concept is still progressing, since the definition of a cocrystal has been debated in the crystallography field.…”
