Electronic structure of an organic charge-transfer complex, MP-TCNQF(MP: 5,10-dihydro-5,10-dimethylphenazine; TCNQF: 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane), was investigated by means of optical reflection spectroscopy and x-ray structural analyses. This is an ionic compound and has a unique quasi-two-dimensional (2D) crystal structure in which donor () molecules of MP and acceptor () molecules of TCNQFstack respectively along the [100] direction, andandmolecules also stack alternately along the [111] direction. We evaluated the transfer energy() between the neighboringmolecules,() between the neighboringmolecules along the [100] direction, and() between the neighboringandmolecules along the [111] direction to be 43 meV, 29 meV, and 67 meV at room temperature, respectively. This demonstrates that an anisotropic 2D electronic structure is formed. By comparing the spectra of the imaginary part of the dielectric constant ɛ2 obtained from the polarized reflectivity spectra with the absorption spectrum of K-TCNQFand the ɛ2 spectra of MP-PF, which are composed of 1Dstacks andstacks, respectively, it was revealed that in MP-TCNQFthe optical gap corresponds to the Mott gap transition fromto, and thetotransition and thetotransition or equivalently the charge-transfer (CT) transition located at the higher energies. Below the structural and magnetic phase transition temperature∼ 122 K, spin-singlet states are formed via displacements of bothandmolecules. The pattern of molecular displacements was found to be very unique, indicating that the phase transition cannot be attributed to a spin-Peierls-like mechanism. The nature of the phase transition is discussed from the temperature dependences of molecular displacements as well as of the Mott-gap transition and the CT transition.
