Abstract

Abstract : In this study, we performed a micro/nanocrystallization of charge transfer crystals (CTCs) composed of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)–tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) via a charge transfer-induced reprecipitation method. Depending on the order of injected solution, TTF–TCNQ CTCs formed a nanorod or a nanorod-coated rhombic shape. We concluded that the crystallinity of the TCNQ particles in the water dispersion determines the final CTC shape.
