Properties of Reaction Products between Cytosine and F4TCNQ in MeOH: Two Hemiprotonated Cytosine Salts with F4TCNQ Radical Anion and Methoxy Adduct Anion
The reaction of cytosine with 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane and MeOH generated two kinds of salts involving a radical anion and a methoxy adduct anion with a hemiprotonated cytosine pair as the cation part. The crystal structure of the methoxy adduct salt showed a two-dimensional layered structure based on the intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
