Tetrathiafulvalene‐tetracyanoquinodimethane‐based co‐crystals mainly form two kinds of packing modes: segregated stack and mixed stack. A subtle balance among Coulombic, polarization, dispersion and exchange‐repulsion components contribute to the altered packing modes. Band structure calculations indicated a smaller band gap for segregated stacks when compared to that of the mixed stacks. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Hariharan et al. on page 12318.
