Stacking arrangement

Single-Stack Acceptor. Simple charge-transfer salts formed from the planar acceptor TCNQ have a stacked arrangement with the TCNQ units facing each other (intermolecular distances of ca 0.3 nm (- 3). Complex salts of TCNQ such as TEA(TCNQ)2 consist of stacks of parallel TCNQ molecules, with cation sites between the stacks (17). The interatomic distance between TCNQ units is not always uniform in these salts, and formation of TCNQ dimers (as in TEA(TCNQ)2) and trimers (as in Cs2(TCNQ)Q can lead to complex crystal stmctures for the chainlike salts. 

This stmcture was first proposed in 1924 (3). The stacking arrangement is ABAB with atoms in alternate planes aligning with each other. Interlayer spacing is 0.3354 nm and interatomic distance within the planes 0.1415 nm. The crystal density is 2.25 g/cm compared to 3.51 g/cm for diamond. 

A rhombohedral form, which occurs in small proportions with the hexagonal form, has a stacking arrangement of ABCABC. Being less stable, it begins to convert to the hexagonal form above 1300°C (4).

Uracil dimers were studied at the MP2 level using the 6-3IG basis with modified polarization functions. Eleven low-energy minima were located Seven of them are H-bonded, one is T-shaped, and three correspond to various stacked arrangements. The most stable structure was found to be the H-bonded dimer with two Ni-H O2-H bonds (Scheme 85) [98JPC(A)6921].

Following the idea of McConnell [44] who proposed in 1967 that a stacking arrangement such as.., D+ A D+ A D+ A-... of donor and acceptor could lead to molecule-based magnets, the combination between metal bis-dithiolene complexes and metalloceniums was performed originally only to promote cooperative ferromagnetic interactions [45]. 

It is interesting to note that even though the nature of the peripheral substituents on 158 and 160 are different, the complexation of zinc has little effect on the supramolecular stacked arrangement of the pz components.

When the total fuel utilization of each system was optimized for maximum efficiency, the efficiency of the fuel cell stacks networked in series was nearly 10% greater than that of the stacks arranged in parallel (44.9% vs. 35.4%, LHV). When the power generated by each system s steam bottoming cycle was considered in addition to its fuel cell power, the gap in efficiency narrowed to 5.5%. The efficiency of the total networked system is 56.8%, while that of the total conventional system was 51.3%. 

The beta-alumina structures show a strong resemblance to the spinel structure. They are layered structures in which densely packed blocks with spinel-like structure alternate with open conduction planes containing the mobile Na ions. The and /S" structures differ in the detailed stacking arrangement of the spinel blocks and conduction planes. Fig. 2.9. 

In addition, at very low lithium contents not every layer between the slabs need be occupied by lithium ions but, for example, just every other layer. This is known as a second-stage compound. The above three stacking arrangements can also be described in terms of the positions of the atoms. Thus, if a slab is described by the designation AcB, where A, B, and C represent the three possible positions of the anions in the hexagonal lattice and a, b, and c represent the cation positions, then the three stacking sequences...
