General description

7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TNCQ) is a strong electron acceptor as it has four cyano groups and π-conjugation bonds that form charge transferring chains and ion radical salts which are mainly used as p-dopants for the fabrication of a variety of semiconductor applications.

Application

Electron-acceptor molecule used to form charge-transfer superconductors.
Tetrathiotetracene (TTT) and TNCQ can be thermally co-deposited to form n-type thin films with a power factor of 0.33 μWm-1K-2 and an electrical conductivity of 57 Sm-1 to fabricate thin film organic thermoelectric generators. It can be used to functionalize chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene and form a p-doped nanocomposite that finds potential application as a conductive anode for organic solar cells (OSCs). Electrochemical sensors can be developed by using TNCQ and graphene oxide to form a glassy electrode for the detection of reduced glutathione (GSH).

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
