Three alkaline-earth metal complexes with 3D networks constructed from a 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethaneligand: synthesis, structure and electrochemical properties†
Abstract
Three new 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) alkaline-earth metal complexes, namely {[M2(TCNQ)3(H2O)6]·TCNQ}n (M = Ca (1), Sr (2) and Ba (3)) have been synthesized by salt elimination reactions.
