Figure 9
The charge density in a stack of equidistant tetra­chloro­semiquionone radical anions from the salt with the N-methyl­pyridinium cation (orthorhombic polymorph; a pair of contiguous radicals is shown; Molčanov et al., 2019BB53). (a) The experimentally determined electrostatic potential mapped onto an electron-density isosurface of 0.5 e Å−3 (red: −0.1, blue: 1.0 e Å−1). (b) The topology of the experimental electron density. Bonding critical points (3,−1) are depicted as red dots, ring critical points (3,+1) as light blue and cage critical points (3,+3) as violet. (c) The HOMOs calculated by DFT (B3LYP and M06-2X functionals with the def2-QZVPP basis set).
