The X-ray structure analyses of tetramethylammonium and tetraethylammo
nium salts of tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethanide (TCNQF(4)(-.)) (NM
e(4)(+). TCNQF(4)(-.) and NEt(4)(+). TCNQF(4)(-.)) were performed. In
these crystals the TCNQF(4)(-.) molecules form dimers, which are stack
ed in a plane-to-plane manner to columns. Recrystallization of NMe(4)(
+). TCNQF(4)(-.) in the presence of TCNQF(4) (or TCNQ) gave a single c
rystal of (NMe(4)(+). TCNQF(4)(-.)) 1/2TCNQF(4) (or TCNQ). The crystal
is composed of alternating TCNQF(4) (or TCNQ)/TCNQF(4)(-.) and NMe(4)
(+) ion layers, and the TCNQF(4) (or TCNQ)/TCNQF(4)(-.) layer adopts a
unique packing structure, in which each pair of two TCNQF(4)(-.) mole
cules is arranged in a completely perpendicular manner to each of one
TCNQF(4) (or TCNQ) molecule. The similar TCNQF(4) (or TCNQ)/TCNQF(4)(-
.) mixed salt was not obtained in use of NEt(4)(+). TCNQF(4)(-.) at al
