Abstract
Ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature was observed in the tetrame thylammonium (NMe(4)(+)) and cesium (Cs+) salts of tetracyanoquinodime thane (TCNQ) and its radical anion (TCNQ(-.)) in a molecular ratio of 1:2. The saturation magnetizations and coercive forces are 0.79 emu/mo l and approximate to 300 Oe for (NMe(4)(+) . TCNQ(-.)) . 1/2TCNQ, and 1.46 emu/mol and approximate to 100 Oe for (Cs+ . TCNQ(-.)) . 1/2TCNQ, respectively. In contrast, the 1:1 TCNQ/TCNQ(-.) mixed tetraethylammo nium (NEt(4)(+)) salt, (NEt(4)(+) . TCNQ(-.)) . TCNQ, exhibited no fe rromagnetic behavior at room temperature nor at lower temperatures.
