An unusual donor–acceptor system MnIIPc-TCNQ/F4-TCNQ and the properties of the mixed single crystals of metal phthalocyanines with organic acceptor molecules†
Abstract
The interaction of manganese(II) phthalocyanine with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane and its perfluoro derivative proceeds with the oxidation of Mn and the reduction of the acceptor molecules to give the first mixed single crystals of manganese(III) phthalocyanine with TCNQ/F4-TCNQ radical anions. The crystals have unusual structures with C–H⋯π interactions between the ions and their orthogonal arrangement, as well as remarkable redox properties. The charge transfer was proved by spectroscopic and magnetic studies.
