Aqueous CT complexes of donor and acceptor molecules with reactive thiol groups were frozen and lyophilized to get alternate D–A assemblies in the solid state. Oxidation of the thiols resulted in asymmetric disulfides exclusively.

In the ionic charge-transfer (CT) complex composed of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (ET) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ), C10H8S8·C8Cl2N2O2, the donor and acceptor molecules both form centrosymmetric dimers associated by strong face-to-face π–π interactions. The disordered DDQ molecules form a one-dimensional π-stacked column, while the ET molecules form a two-leg ladder through additional short S...S contacts between adjacent π–π-bonded dimers. The crystal structure of ET–DDQ revealed in this study will provide a valuable example of the two-leg spin ladder system, which has rarely been reported for ET-based CT complexes.

Charge-transfer complexation of N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMT) with each of the following N-methyl cations has been investigated in acetonitrile solution at 25 °C: acridinium; phenanthridinium; 3-X-quinolinium and 4-X-isoquinolinium (X = H, Br, CONH2, CN); 5-nitroisoquinolinium; 3-X-pyridinium (X = CONH2, CN) (also the N-benzyl pyridinium cations); N,N′-dimethyl-4,4′-dipyridylium dication. Charge-transfer absorption maxima are reported, and extinction coefficients (εmax) at these maxima and association constants (K) for 1:1 complex formation have been evaluated from the dependence of absorbance upon [DMT]. In general, the longest wavelength absorption maximum increases with increasing association constant. There is a strictly linear relationship between εmax and 1/K. These observations are considered in the context of theories of charge-transfer spectra. Such charge-transfer species are considered as models for the association complexes that are believed to exist upon the reaction pathway for hydride transfer between heteroaromatic cations. Although some significant qualitative relationships are apparent, variations in susceptibility of heteroaromatic cations to charge-transfer complexation are much smaller than variations in the reactivity of these cations towards hydride donor species.

The CT complexes 2Vn2EE'·TCNE (1, E = E' = S; 2, E = E' = Se; 3, E = S, E' = Se) are prepared by combining the solutions of the components in acetonitrile. The three com pounds are isostructural and built up by Vn2EE'/TCNE/Vn2EE' units in which a TCNE molecule is inserted into the cavity formed by two of the folded, oppositely arranged Vn2EE' molecules. In this arrangement of donor and acceptor molecules an optimum overlap of the corresponding HOMOs and LUMOs is guaranteed as can be seen from the CNDOand HAM 3 calculations. The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivities shows the com pounds 1-3 to be semiconductors with gap energies of 1.27, 1.17 and 1.19 eV , resp.

Four binary charge-transfer complexes were made using pyromellitic acid dianhydride (pmda), those being pmda–naphthalene (1/1), C10H2O6·C10H8, (I), pmda–fluoranthene (1/1), C10H2O6·C16H10, (II), pmda–9-methylanthracene (1/1), C10H2O6·C15H12, (III), and pmda–ethyl anthracene-9-carboxylate (1/2), C10H2O6·2C17H12O3, (IV). All charge-transfer complexes show alternating donor and acceptor stacks, which have weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds connecting the donor and acceptor molecules. In addition, complex (I) has Z′ = 1/2, complex (II) has a Z′ = 2 and complex (IV) has half molecule of pyromellitic acid dianhydride in the asymmetric unit.

The donor and acceptor molecules self-assemble into a helical morphology under the effect of polar solvent. By controlling the temperature to induce phase transition, the co-crystal undergoes predictable crystal breaking or untwisting.
