Synthesis and Langmuir–Blodgett films of a zwitterionic D-π-A adduct of tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ)
Abstract
The efficient synthesis of a range of highly polar novel zwitterionic D-π-A adducts of tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) has been established and derivatives with an alkyl chain as short as eight carbon atoms have been fabricated as Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films.
