Many organic metals and superconductors have been reported in the forms of cation radical salts and charge transfer (CT) complex using TTF based electron donor molecules. TTF molecules have a tendency to assemble in one-dimensional stacks through p-p overlaps along with stacking direction. In this paper, we report photonic and electronic properties of molecular nanocoils composed of TTF derivatives and acceptors, with tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ). The synthesized molecules organized into helical and nanoscopic one-dimensional assemblies by using various intermolecular interactions.
