Abstract
Raman, FT-Raman and ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-vis-NIR) spectra have been measured for mixed-stack charge transfer (CT) films of 2-octadecyl-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (octadecyl-TCNQ) doped with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) deposited on CaF2 plates and Au-evaporated glass slides. The 1064 nm-excited FT-Raman spectra can be observed clearly even for the one-layer CT films deposited on CaF2 plates because the excitation wavelength is located within a broad CT band centered near 1550 nm. The degree of the charge transfer determined by a shift of the C≡N stretching band of the TCNQ chromophore suggests that the CT complex films are in a quasi-neutral state.
