Abstract

An attractive couple: (Pro₂H⁺)₂(TCNQ ^.-)₂ · TCNQ (TCNQ=tetracyanoquinodimethane) contains an H-bonding network that supports a layered structure, composed of alternating TCNQ anions and proline cations (see picture). The cation is formed by two zwitterionic proline amino acids supported by a proton bridge between the carboxylates, whereas the anionic component involves a neutral TCNQ molecule sandwiched between two TCNQ^.-.
