A quantitative addition reaction between aromatic amino-substituted alkynes and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), yielding donor-substituted tetracyanobutadiene chromophores, was for the first time employed as a click-type reaction to improve the thermal and optoelectronic properties of aromatic polyamines. The first reduction potentials or

The solid charge-transfer complexes formed in the reaction of the electron donor 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (TMTACN) with the acceptors iodine, tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) have been isolated. These were characterized through electronic and infrared spectra as well as thermal and elemental

We have studied the pressure-induced physical and chemical transformations of tetracyanoethylene (TCNE or C6N4) in diamond anvil cells using micro-Raman spectroscopy, laser-heating, emission spectroscopy, and synchrotron x-ray diffraction. The results indicate that TCNE in a quasi-hydrostatic condition undergoes a shear-induced
