Abstract The title com pounds can be isolated from concentrated solutions of 2,3,7,8-tetramethoxy thianthrene or selenanthrene and tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone as dark blue crystals. Bond distances and bond and folding angles of the components indicate these com pounds to be charge transfer complexes in which the tetramethoxy thianthrene or selenanthrene molecules act as donors (D), the hexachloro-dibenzo-p-dioxin-2,3-quinone molecules as acceptors (A). In the asymmetric units of the two isostructural complexes an acceptor, a donor and another acceptor molecule are arranged parallel to each other. A third acceptor molecule is placed at the front side of the A1 ,D ,A2-arrangement. In the crystal the A1, D, A2,(A3) units are connected by centres of symmetry leading to A1 ,D ,A2 , A1',D',A2', . . . stacks in which the aryl rings of the halves of the molecules are equidistant and parallel to each other. The mean distances between the rings are 340 and 345 pm, respectively

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>
