Abstract
The Madelung energy EC of TTF TCNQ was computed by Ewald’s method using the 300 and 100 °K crystal structures and several charge models based on CNDO/2, PPP, and INDO atom charge densities, and as a function of charge transfer. In all cases EC compares unfavorably, by several electron volts, with the cost of ionizing the lattice. This had been noted previously for NMP TCNQ. This binding energy defect is too large to be explained by metallic binding or exchange forces, or by electron correlation, even in the Wigner crystal limit. We speculate that polarization forces, or covalent effects may play a large role in stabilizing the lattice. The Madelung site potentials in the TTF+1TCNQ−1 lattice are sufficient to explain the observed core level splittings in the photoelectron spectrum.Keywords
