Abstract
The origin of carrier doping in TTFCOO−NH4+ has been verified to include protonic defect in salt bridge by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), for the first time. The emergence of spin in TTFCOO−NH4+ is tunable over quite a wide range (9–33%) only by selecting a suitable solvent for the salt crystallization. The spin concentration of the solvent-dependent salts weakly correlates with intensity of optical absorption in near-infrared region, values of g-tensor and dc conductivity at rt. The solvents determining doping level of the salt are classified into three categories by self-dissociation ability (pKSH) of solvent, which likely controls inclusion of protonic defect in the salts.
