D+-pi-A(-) charge-transfer molecules based on tricyanoquinodimethane and diphosphine metal complexes
A new family of D+-pi-A(-) chromophores in which the donor group is an organometallic complex and the acceptor group a tricyanoquinodimethane moiety has been synthesized by the reaction of diphosphinomethanide transition-metal complexes and 7,7',8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethane.
