ABSTRACTCharge transfer complexes, their inherent electrical conductivity, magnetic properties and donor-acceptor redox relationships have been a focus of much research in the last several years. One direction has been in the design of memory devices and applications in molecular electronics.1,2 Our work has focused on analysis of such processes in a polymeric medium. Polycarbonate films of 7,7’,8,8’-Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and o-tolidine (o-T) complexes were studied by EPR spectroscopy from 100-300K. EPR spectra and magnetic susceptibility of the dispersed charge-transfer complexes are presented and compared with the pristine materials. These studies were carried out as a function of donor/acceptor stoichiometry and concentration within the polymer matrix. Saturation studies show significant differences as the composition varies. In addition the g-tensor and linewidth are strongly dependent on temperature and composition.

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters g and the hyperfine structure constants A of Co2+ in ZnX (X = S, Se, Te) and CdTe are studied, using the perturbation formulas of the EPR parameters for a 3d7 ion in tetrahedra based on two mechanism models. In these formulas, both the contributions from the conventional crystal-field (CF) mechanism and those from the charge-transfer (CT) mechanism are taken into account. According to the investigations, the sign of the g-shift ΔgCT from the CT mechanism is the same as ΔgCF from the CF mechanism, whereas the contributions to the A value from the CF and CT mechanisms have opposite signs. Particularly, the contributions to the EPR parameters from the CT mechanism increase rapidly with increase of the spin-orbit coupling coefficient of the ligand and the covalency effect of the systems, i. e. S2− < Se2− < Te2−.
