On the intrinsic optical absorptions by tetrathiafulvalene radical cations and isomers

Gas-phase action spectroscopy shows unambiguously that the low-energy absorptions by tetramethylthiotetrathiafulvalene and tetrathianaphthalene cations in solution phase are due to monomers and not π-dimers.The Aarhus and Copenhagen groups acknowledge support from Lundbeckfonden and The Danish Council for Independent Research | Natural Sciences (#10-082088), DV the European Research Council project no. 240624, DV, LAE and AR e-I3 ETSF project (Contract #211956), and CINECA CPU time granted through ISCRA, LAE and AR MEC (FIS2010-21282-C02-01), European Research Council Advanced Grant DYNamo (ERC-2010-AdG-Proposal No. 267374), ACI-Promociona (ACI2009-1036), ‘‘Grupos Consolidados UPV/EHU del Gobierno Vasco’’ (IT-319-07).Peer Reviewe
