A charge transfer complex comprising N,N'-alkylene-di-3,5-lutidine as a donor and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane as an acceptor, the molar ratio of the acceptor to the donor of the charge transfer complex being between 3.0 and 5.0 has a high melting point and excellent electrical conductivity as an electrolyte for a capacitor. A solid electrolytic capacitor employing said charge transfer complex has reduced current leakage and high temperature load characteristics. A chip-type solid electrolytic capacitor employing said charge transfer complex has reduced current leakage, high temperature load characteristics and excellent thermal stability and life characteristics.

Charge transfer complex and solid electrolytic capacitor employing the

A charge transfer complex having excellent electrical conductivity and thermal stability is obtained by employing an isoquinoline substituted by an amyl radical at its N-position as a donor and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane as an acceptor. In the process for preparation of said charge transfer complex, amyliodide and isoquinoline are reacted with each other in an organic solvent or no solvent and the product obtained by the reaction is reacted with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane in an organic solvent. Also disclosed is a solid electrolytic capacitor which employs said charge transfer complex as an electrolyte.
