We present mas^ spectrometry e x p e b n t s on tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), deuteriated TCNQ and on some TCNQ salts. Apart from the usual nitrile fragmentation, at least two original featurea appear in the spectra. The first is the formation of TCNQ dimem, as evidenced by their molecular peaks

✦ Synopsis
Electron impact (EI) ionization and positive and negative liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry (pLSIMS and nLSIMS) of eight eharge-transfer complexes of 7,7',8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ)-aromatic systems and of the individual donors and -acceptors was examined. The EI spectra exhibited the molecular ions of both the donor and the acceptor of each complex. The molecular ion of the Ir-donor was observed in pLSIMS using m-nitrobenzyl alcohol (NBA) if its oxidation potential is lower than 1.2 V, but when the oxidation potential is higher than 1.9 V, no molecular ion was detected. On the other hand, nLSIMS exhibited the molecular ion of TCNQ in all cases. Participation of an excited state of NBA in the ionization process is suggested.

A new spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of aminomethylbenzoic acid (PAMBA) using 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ). The method was based on the formation of charge transfer (CT) complex of this drug as n-electron donor with the π-acceptor TCNQ. TCNQ was found to rea
