Radical anion salts and charge transfer complexes based on tetracyanoquinodimethane and other potent $\pi$-electron acceptors

The unique properties of radical anion salts and charge transfer complexes formed by tetracyanoquinodimethane and other potent $\pi$-electron acceptors are analyzed. Their ability to form fusible conductive materials and magnetically ordered structures, including ferromagnetic ones with high Curie temperatures, spin ladders and quasi-two-dimensional organic conductors and superconductors is considered. Particular attention is given to the possible areas of application of these radical anion salts in electronic industry as nanomaterials, materials for the fabrication of field effect transistors, photodiodes, and ion selective electrodes.
