The charge-transfer complex trans-STB-TCNQF4.
In the crystal structure of the title charge-transfer complex, namely trans-stilbene-2,2'-(2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene-1,4-diylidene)propanedinitrile (1/1) (trans-STB-TCNQF(4)), C(14)H(12).C(12)F(4)N(4), the planar STB and TCNQF(4) molecules are stacked alternately. The structure is not isostructural with that of STB-TCNQ. No anomaly was found in the displacement parameters of any atoms, while the bond length of the central C=C moiety was shorter than the corresponding bond in ethylene. This suggests that the central C=C moiety of the STB molecule vibrates with a large amplitude, similar to the case in free STB and STB-TCNQ.
