Different types of layers of TCNQδ− radicals observed in the compounds studied: (a) `brick wall' array of pancake-bonded dimers in 7·(TCNQ)2, (b) stacking of parallel hydrogen-bonded chains in 8·(TCNQ)2, (c) brick-wall array of pancake-bonded trimers in 10·(TCNQ)3 (A are red and B are blue), (d) brick wall array of pancake-bonded tetramers in 4·(TCNQ)2 (A are red and B are blue), (e) herringbone-like array of pancake-bonded tetramers in 9·(TCNQ)4 (A are red and B are blue) and (f) 2D array formed by stacks of equidistant radicals in 12·(TCNQ)2 (B are red and C are blue). Individual dimers, trimers and tetramers are highlighted in green; hydrogen bonds are shown as black dotted lines. |
