Abstract

The resonance Raman spectrum has been obtained for the electrogenerated dianion of tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) upon excitation of its lowest energy electronic transition (λ_max 330 nm) with a frequency doubled, flashlamppumped, Rhodamine 640 dye laser. For comparison we report the normal Raman spectrum of solid Li₂TCNQ.THF. The electron transfer induced frequency shifts for the second reduction step of TCNQ are measured and interpreted using the π-bond order changes determined from SCF-MO-CI and 1NDO/S electronic structure calculations as well as the π-bond length changes determined from a MNDO-SCF-MO calculation. Finally, the TCNQ^2- Raman data is used to identify the oxidation state of TCNQ in the coordination complex [Co(acacen)(py)₂]₂TCNQ.
