III x4BQ X= F, Cl, Br, 1 in which donor and acceptor molecules alternate. The approach4 that we have followed is one of attempting to inhibit good donor-acceptor orbital overlap, thereby minimizing the Mulliken charge-transfer interaction that stabilizes such mixed stacks, with the idea that segregated stacks might be formed by default. One way of creating unfavorable donor-acceptor overlap is to select a pair of molecules such that the relevant frontier orbitals (HOMO of the donor and LUMO of the ac-ceptor, shown schematically (Scheme I) for molecules I, II and III) are of different symmetry with respect to inversion. To meet the criterion of partial charge transfer, we have used2-3 electrochemical half-wave potentials as a relative measure of the ionization potential of the donor and the electron affinity of the acceptor. These values, combined with consideration of the electrostatic crystalline binding energy, can be used as a crude guide for selecting molecules3 such that the degree of charge transfer will be between zero (neutral molecular solid) and one (complete charge transfer, fully ionic solid). One combinationof molecules that appears to possess these complementary properties, ie, frontier orbitals of opposite symmetry and promising match of redox properties, are the tetrathiafulvalene (TTF, II) family of donors and the tetrahalo-/?-benzoquinone (III) family of acceptors. We have found6 that TTF and TMTTF (tetramethyl-TTF) form charge-transfer compounds of 1: 1 composition with each of the tetrahalo-p-benzoquinones. Furthermore, nearly every combination of donor and acceptor forms atleast two distinct phases. 4-7 In this communication we shall discuss only those salts which are highly conducting. The materials discussed here were generally prepared by mixing acetonitrile solutions of the donor and acceptortogether at the boiling point of the solvent and cooling to room tem-perature. The pressed powder conductivities of the resulting salts are summarized in Table I, along with corresponding values measured for TTF-TCNQ8 and TMTTF-TCNQ. 9 It should be noted that four of these new compounds (Table I)
