THE discovery of metallic conductivity i-il TTF-TCNQ (tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane) has gener- ated substantial interest in the synthesis and characteriza- tion of related organic charge-transfer complexes.1 Much of the present knowledge of the transport properties of the parent system has been gained by exploiting the extensive derivative chemistry of the donor unit, TTF, while retaining the acceptor, TCKQ, unchanged. These ...
