| Tetracyanoethylene Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) is a crystalline solid with a melting point of 200 °C. DuPont researchers prepared it in 1957 by treating dibromomalononitrile with copper in boiling benzene. TCNE is an excellent electron acceptor and has been used to prepare organic superconductors.
Tetracyanoethylene is a chemical compound of cyanide. It is used to prepare numerous organic superconductors, usually by serving as a single electron oxidant of an organic electron donor. Such charge-transfer salts are sometimes called Bechgaard salt.
