Unusual dimers with wide interplanar separations, that is, very long bonds with d(D) approximately 3.05 A, are common to the spontaneous self-association of various organic pi-radicals in solution… (More)
X-ray crystallography identifies the aromatic donor group D = 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl to be a suitable redox center for the construction of organic mixed-valence crystals owing to its large… (More)
Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) as the prototypical electron donor for solid-state (electronics) applications is converted to the unusual cation-radical salt, TTF+* CB- (where CB- is the non-coordinating… (More)
Transient [1:1] complexes formed in the bimolecular interactions of electron acceptors (A) with their reduced anion radicals (A(-.)) are detected and characterized in solution for the first time. The… (More)
Transient 1:1 precursor complexes for intermolecular self-exchange between various organic electron donors (D) and their paramagnetic cation radicals (D+*), as well as between different electron… (More)
Definitive X-ray structures of "separated" versus "contact" ion pairs, together with their spectral (UV-NIR, ESR) characterizations, provide the quantitative basis for evaluating the complex… (More)
The mechanistic conundrum is commonly posed by the intrinsic structural disconnect between a bimolecular (reactive) intermediate that is fleetingly detected spectroscopically in solution versus that… (More)
The choice of appropriate electron donors (D) and acceptors (A) allows for the first time the simultaneous observation of Mulliken charge-transfer states, [D,A], that can coexist in reversible… (More)
The charge-resonance phenomenon originally identified by Badger and Brocklehurst lies at the core of the basic understanding of electron movement and delocalization that is possible within p-doped… (More)
