Abstract
In this study, we report on crystallographic studies that were performed on Na- and K-doped terphenyl and quaterphenyl. The data obtained via X-ray scattering and transmission electron diffraction show that, for both K-doped terphenyl and quaterphenyl samples, there is an increase in the c parameter. However, in regard to Na-doped terphenyl, there is a c parameter decrease along with an a parameter increase, which may be accounted for by the polymerization of this oligomer. Moreover, in order to complete the crystallographic study, a Raman analysis was conducted to describe the localization of the radical anions and the local distortions induced by the electric charges during the doping process.
