7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and FxTCNQ (x = 1, 2, 4) as acceptors and aromatic hydrocarbons form a variety of compounds in which the degree of charge transfer is tuned by crystal engineering.

Co-crystallization is an efficient way of molecular crystal engineering to tune the electronic properties of organic semiconductors. In this work, we synthesized anthracene-4,8-bis(dicyanomethylene)4,8-dihydrobenzo[1,2-b:4,5-b’]-dithiophene (DTTCNQ) single crystals as a template to...

We show that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) chromophores that are linked between two five-membered rings can access planarized structures with reduced optical gaps and redox potentials. Two aceanthrylene chromophores were connected into dimer model systems with the chromophores either projected outward (2,2’-biaceanthrylene) or inward (1,1’-biaceanthrylene) and the optical and electronic properties were compared. Only the planar 2,2’-biaceanthrylene system showed significant reductions of the optical gaps (1 eV) and redox potentials in relation to the aceanthrylene monomer.<br>

The essential properties of monolayer silicene greatly enriched by boron substitutions are thoroughly explored through first-principles calculations. Delicate analyses are conducted on the highly non-uniform Moire superlattices, atom-dominated band structures, charge density distributions and atom- and orbital-decomposed van Hove singularities. The hybridized 2 p z –3 p z and [2s, 2 p x , 2 p y ]–[3s, 3 p x , 3 p y ] bondings, with orthogonal relations, are obtained from the developed theoretical framework. The red-shifted Fermi level and the modified Dirac cones/ π bands/ σ bands are clearly identified under various concentrations and configurations of boron-guest atoms. Our results demonstrate that the charge transfer leads to the non-uniform chemical environment that creates diverse electronic properties.

A series of solvated donor–acceptor organic complexes were shown to slowly release the lattice solvent while the degree of charge transfer decreases steadily. This behavior is not observed in the case of a hydrate.

Choosing a small active space of electrons for charge analysis allows the model-free determination of the degree of charge transfer.
