Anion-Radical Salts of 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane with Cations in the Basis of Alkylolpyridines

Resumo

Anion-radical salts of 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane with cations on the basis of methylol- and ethylolpyridines, N-methyl- and N-ethyl alkylolpyridines, were synthesized. Their composition is determined by the method of electronic spectroscopy, and the thermal stability is studied. The nature of the salts is investigated by the method of IR spectroscopy: it is shown that the conducting properties depend both on the nature of the alkyl group and on the position of the alkylol substituent. The presence of hydroxy groups in the conducting anion-radical salts allow their application as electronic organic materials for the design of conducting film coatings.
