We report the observation of a sizable photostrictive effect of 5.7% with fast, submillisecond response times, arising from a light-induced lattice dilation of a molecular nanosheet, composed of the molecular charge-transfer compound dibenzotetrathiafulvalene (DBTTF) and C60. An interfacial self-assembly approach is introduced for the thickness-controlled growth of the thin films. From photoabsorption measurements, molecular simulations, and electronic structure calculations, we suggest that photostriction within these films arises from a transformation in the molecular structure of constituent molecules upon photoinduced charge transfer, as well as the accommodation of free charge carriers within the material. Additionally, we find that the photostrictive properties of the nanosheets are thickness-dependent, a phenomenon that we suggest arises from surface-induced conformational disorder in the molecular components of the film. Moreover, because of the molecular structure in the films, which results largely from interactions between the constituent π-systems and the sulfur atoms of DBTTF, the optoelectronic properties are found to be anisotropic. This work enables the fabrication of 2D molecular charge-transfer nanosheets with tunable thicknesses and properties, suitable for a wide range of applications in flexible electronic technologies.

AbstractThe dielectric moments at 35 °C of quinoline, pyridine and isoquinoline dissolved in four non-polar solvents viz. benzene, carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexane and dioxane are found to increase in this sequence in accordance with the molecular structure of these solutes. The surprisingly high moments of quinoline and pyridine in carbon tetrachloride indicate the formation of charge transfer complexes in­ volving the π-electron systems of the solutes.

The reactions between Bu4todit and I2 in CHCl3 solution have been investigated by spectrophotometry at different temperatures. Evidence for the stepwise formation of the 1:1 and 1:2 charge-transfer complexes has been obtained by computer analysis of the experimental data. The stability constants of both complexes and the corresponding standard enthalpy and entropy changes have been calculated. The 1:2 complex has been characterized in the solid state by an X-ray structural study: the crystals of Bu4todit 2I2 are monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 16.352(6), b = 9.376(5), c = 23.470(7) Å, β = 99.78(2)°, Z = 4,R = 0.0579. The molecular structure shows that the two thionic sulfur atoms coordinate two diiodine molecules, the bond distances and angles being similar to those observed previously in Et4todit•2I2. On the contrary, the solution studies disagree with the previous investigations on Et4todit and Ph4todit, where the absorbance data were explained assuming the formation of the 1:1 complex only. A new calculation procedure for the least-squares minimization of spectrophotometric data, based on Powell's direct search method, has been developed. This procedure allows for the refinement of the standard enthalpy and entropy changes from a set of absorbance data at different temperatures. Convergence has been attained for the reaction of diiodine with Bu4todit and Me4todit (new data) and also for Et4todit and Ph4todit (old data). Keywords: equilibrium constants, charge-transfer complexes, Fourier transform – Raman, X-ray, I2-thioamides.

Charge-transfer complexes of some heteroarylthiourea derivatives with π-accptors have been studied spectrophotometrically in CH2Cl2. Spectral data, stability constants and enthalpies of complexation are reported. From the energies of the CT transition, ionization potentials of the donors have been obtained. Effects of donor molecular structure, π-acceptor electron affinity and nature of solvent on KCT of complexes are investigated and discussed. It is deduced that the formed CT complexes are of n-π kind and of 1 : 1 stoichiometry.

Radical salts and charge-transfer complexes (CTCs) containing tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) display electrical conductivity, which has led to the development of many TCNQ derivatives with enhanced electron-accepting properties that are applicable toward organic electronics. To expand the family of TCNQ derivatives, we report the synthesis and structures of 11,11,12,12-tetracyano-2,6-diiodo-9,10-anthraquinodimethane (abbreviated as DITCAQ), C20H6I2N4, and its charge-transfer complexes with various electron donors, namely DITCAQ–anthracene (2/1), C20H6I2N4·0.5C14H10, (I), DITCAQ–pyrene (2/1), C20H6I2N4·0.5C16H10, (II), and DITCAQ–tetrathiafulvalene (2/1), C20H6I2N4·0.5C6H4S4, (III). The molecular structure of DITCAQ consists of a 2,6-diiodo-9,10-dihydroanthracene moiety with two malononitrile substituents. DITCAQ possesses a saddle shape, since the malononitrile groups bend significantly up out of the plane of the central ring and the two benzene rings bend down out of the same plane. π–π interactions between DITCAQ and the electron-donor molecules control the degree of charge transfer in cocrystals (I), (II), and (III), which is reflected in both the dihedral angles between the terminal benzene ring and the central ring on the DITCAQ motifs, and their corresponding IR spectra.
