Charge transfer complexes of 2,4,6-tricyano-s-triazine with tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD)

Reaction of 2,4,6-tricyano-s-triazine (TCT) with tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) leads to 1∶1 charge transfer complexes. The crystal structures of the TTF[TCT], as well as the decomposition product due to hydrolysis of the [TMPD][TCT], i.e. [HTMPD]+[2,4-dicyano-6-oxy-s-triazine]−, are reported and spectroscopically characterized.
