VIN phi(2)(TCNQ)(2) salt with two different one-dimensional TCNQ colum
ns is characterized by an electron and vibrational spectroscopy OR abs
orption, polarized reflection and Raman scattering). Anisotropy of the
optical conductivity, origin and nature of the electron-molecular vib
ration coupling and charge distribution on the TCNQ moieties of the sa
lt are discussed.
