Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of the two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network [TCNQ-H2]2+[AsF6]2−
Tetra­cyano­quinodi­methane (TCNQ - C12H4N4) can be doubly protonated by the superacid HF/AsF5 to give crystals of [C12H6N4]2+[AsF6]−2.

Fluorescent dyes that work in acid. That's in industrial settings but also biological, such as stomach and certain tumors.
