Notes:
The electronic energy band of the molecular crystal NMP-TCNQ is calculated by means of the EHMO/LCAO-MO-CO method. In the calculation, both NMP and TCNQ are treated as quasi-one-dimensional columns, respectively. The results demonstrate that (i) the positions of the electronic energy bands of a molecular crystal are determined by that of the corresponding molecular orbitals of the respective isolated molecules; (ii) the widths of energy bands are determined by the interaction between the molecular orbitals of adjacent molecules in the crystal. These facts support the conclusion which we have given in the previous articles. The relationship between the structure of energy bands of the crystal NMP-TCNQ and its electrical conductivity at room temperature is discussed and compared with the crystal TTF-TCNQ. The differences of electrical conductivities of both crystals can be explained by the formula given by Fröhlich and Sewell.
