Formation of the charge-transfer complexes between calix[4]crowns (1 - 4) and iodine in chloroform solution was studied using UV-vis spectrophotometry. The stability constants and the thermodynamic data of the resulting 1 : 1 complexes were determined and was found to decrease with increasing the size of the crown moiety of the calixcrown. All complexes formed were found to be enthalpy stabilized, and all except the complex of 2 were entropy destabilized.

We have used scanning tunneling microscopy to create and study single molecule junctions with thioether-terminated oligothiophene molecules. We find that the conductance of these junctions increases upon formation of charge transfer complexes of the molecules with tetracyanoethene, and that the extent of the conductance increase is greater the longer is the oligothiophene, i.e. the lower is the conductance of the uncomplexed molecule in the junction. We use non-equilibrium Green's function transport calculations to explore the reasons for this theoretically, and find that new resonances appear in the transmission function, pinned close to the Fermi energy of the contacts, as a consequence of the charge transfer interaction. This is an example of a room temperature quantum interference effect, which in this case boosts junction conductance in contrast to earlier observations of QI that result in diminished conductance.<br>
