Abstract
In this paper, we discuss an irreversible phase transition occuring in the TCNQ salt which diethylcyclohexylammonium cation : DECA (TCNQ)2, when heated above 350 K. The transition, which is of first order as evidenced by heat capacity measurements, is accompanied by very large discontinuities in properties such as magnetic susceptibility and d. c. electrical conductivity. The phase diagram [P = f(T)] has been determined, as well as the crystal structures of both phases. The observed structural transformation allows us to explain the temperature behaviour of the physical properties.
