title: Novel method for the fabrication of a charge-transfer complex crystal by photoirradiation.
abstract: A novel method for the fabrication of a charge-transfer complex crystal was developed. Photoirradiation of a solution of TPP[Co(tbp)(CN)(2)] and TPP[Co(Pc)(CN)(2)] (tbp=tetrabenzoporphyrin, Pc=phthalocyanine, TPP=tetraphenylphosphonium) gave a molecular conducting crystal of a charge-transfer complex TPP[Co(tbp)(CN)(2)](2), which was produced by the process in which the photoexcited electron in tbp was transferred from the LUMO of tbp to that of Pc.
