Abstract

Reduction of tetracyanoethylene, TCNE, with tetrakis(n-propyl)ammonium iodide, [Pr₄N]I, results in a new example of long π*-CC bonded π-[TCNE]₂²⁻ dimers with a 2.870(4) Å intradimer CC bond, which is structurally and spectroscopically characterized. This reaction also results in isolation of [Pr₄N]₂[TCNE][I₃] possessing isolated [TCNE]˙⁻ radical anions.
