Copper and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) were evaporated towards a substrate, a glass plate coated with 100 nm thick Au, at a temperature of 250 K. The deposited film was analyzed with refractive absorption spectroscopy-FTIR. The absorption spectrum was similar to that of the CuTCNQ complex salt synthesized by dipping the copper plate into a solution of TCNQ in acetonitrile. The degree of charge transfer from copper to TCNQ ip the dual deposition film was 0.4 while that in the synthesized Cu TCNQ was 0.6.
