Band structure of the TCNQ--TTF system

OSTI ID:4082540
On the basis of already performed SCF all-valence electron crystal orbital calculations one can conclude that the conduction band of poly(TCNQ$sup - $) and the valence band of poly(TTF$sup +$) will cross only when the interactions between the charged polyradical chains are taken into account in a proper way. The different main steps to obtain a realistic band structure of the rather complex TCNQ--TTF system (which could serve as a starting point for the interpretation of its unusual conduction properties) are briefly outlined.
