The Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) Picene, Coronene and Phenanthrene attracted strong attention in the last years as first superconducting PAHs when intercalated with potassium [1]. K3Picene shows a Tc of 18 K and the Tc of intercalated Coronene lies between 3.5 K and 15 K [2].
Here, we present charge transfer complexes with PAHs representing donor or acceptor molecules of these complexes. The knowledge of different crystallization modes of these systems, e.g. mixed stack or alternating stack configuration, are important for the physical properties. The complexes were grown by horizontal vapor growth technique or by growth from solution. Crystal structures, electrical transport measurements and spectroscopical investigations are presented in this contribution. In addition to the experimental data, we present band-structure calculations, which were performed by density functional methods. The interpretation of both is one approach to understand growing conditions of different stack configurations and an important step towards the design of new charge transfer complexes.
