Abstract
The bulk reflectivity and absorption (using alkali halide matrices and thin film dispersions) of polycrystalline K+TCNQ− in the wavelength range between 30 and 4000 cm−1 have been examined in detail. The sharp reflectivity peaks have been analyzed using a classical oscillator fitting procedure to give the peak and oscillator parameters. Most of the observed infrared peaks have been assigned to the fundamental modes of TCNQ− and lattice vibrations. The temperature dependence of the CN stretching peaks in particular have been studied in the 300–433 °K temperature range. The reversible and gradual disappearance of one set of CN stretching peaks in K+TCNQ− has been tentatively linked to a possible cell halving phase transition at Tc∼379 °K. The results are compared with the spectrum of Rb+TCNQ− which is isomorphous with the postulated high temperature phase of K+TCNQ−.Keywords
