Abstract

Well oriented thin crystalline films of an anthracene-TCNQ complex were formed when thin films of TCNQ, epitaxially grown on a KCl cleavage surface, were exposed to the vapor or contacted with superimposed films of anthracene. Examination by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction revealed that the molecular arrangement of TCNQ in the final complex has a definite relation to that in the original epitaxial films of TCNQ. The formation was interpreted in terms of nucleation controlled by charge transfer forces and molecular diffusion.
