There are general reviews on heterocyclic syntheses by cycloaddition reactions of isocyanates and on the use of heterocyclic cations in preparative organic chemistry. More specific topics are 5-hydroxymethylfuran-2-carb-aldehyde, isobenzofurans and related ort/io-quinonoid systems, the conversion of 2//-cyclohepta[Zj] furan-2-one (1) into derivatives of azulene, the synthesis of indoles from o-alkylphenyl isocyanides, and abnormal Fischer indolization reactions of o-methoxyphenylhydrazones. Two reviews on isoindoles have appeared and a lecture on highly conducting charge-transfer complexes that are based on heterocyclic selenium and tellurium donors has been reprinted.Recent advances in the chemistry of imidazole and in the use of nitro-imidazoles as radiosensitizers have been summarized. There have been reviews on benzimidazole A -oxides and on dihydrobenzimidazoles, benzimidazolones, benzimidazolethiones, and related compounds. Other topics are synthetic applications of 1,3-dithiolium and 1,3-oxathiolium salts and of isoxazoles, the chemistry of benzisoxazoles, 2-amino-oxazoles, 5-oxazolones (2), furoxans, benzofuroxans, and related systems, the synthesis of five-membered meso-ionic compounds, and tetrazoles. ... 

M.p. 296 C. Accepts an electron from suitable donors forming a radical anion. Used for colorimetric determination of free radical precursors, replacement of Mn02 in aluminium solid electrolytic capacitors, construction of heat-sensitive resistors and ion-specific electrodes and for inducing radical polymerizations. The charge transfer complexes it forms with certain donors behave electrically like metals with anisotropic conductivity. Like tetracyanoethylene it belongs to a class of compounds called rr-acids. tetracyclines An important group of antibiotics isolated from Streptomyces spp., having structures based on a naphthacene skeleton. Tetracycline, the parent compound, has the structure ... 

When sodium lignosulfonate or sulfur lignin are compounded, for instance, with iodine or bromine, complexes supposedly form (16-17). These systems are conductors with mixed ionic and electronic nature. Presumably they are charge transfer complexes, since the electronic conductivity predominates (18-19). These compounded materials form charge transfer structures (20). Water is supposed to introduce ionic conductivity to the system. Impurities affect conductivity, too (21). In any case, the main models of conductivity are probably based on the band model and/or the hopping model. 

The LB films of charge-transfer complexes of C TET-TTF, long-chain derivatives of BEDT-TTF, with F4TCNQ were fabricated to try to obtain high conductivities [67-69]. The iodine doping of the LB film yields a conductivity on the order of 10 2 S/cm, which is considered to be due to reduction of the donor. The LB films of a series of 3,4,5-(alkylthio)-l,2-dithiolium and TCNQ were also fabricated [70,71]. The binary mixed LB films were investigated for amphiphilic donors, TTF and BEDT-TTF derivatives, amphiphilic acceptors, TCNQ, and anthraquinodimethane derivatives [72]. There is an LB film based on a charge-transfer complex with... 

Recently, a new class of electron acceptors based on N,N -dicyanoquinonedi-imine (DCNQI), and a number of their charge-transfer complexes and anion radical salts have been prepared (1-5). Among them the compound (2,5-DM-DCNQI)2Cu has attracted special interest,because it exhibits very high electrical conductivity (up to 5x10 S cm below 10 K) and retains its metallic behavior down to 1.3 K without metal-insulator transition (3). Anion radical salts with other counterions exhibit lower conductivities and are semiconductors, or undergo a Peierls transition in the temperature range 100-150 K (4). 

The Cgg doped with neutral polymers such as emeraldine base of polyaniline show higher conductivities due to the charge transfer complex formation mechanism whereby the neutral polymer acts as electron donor and Cgg acts as acceptor [22]. Not only Cg, but also a combination of and can be doped with polyaniline, where the same effect of enhancement in conductivity is observed (of the order of 10 ). But, when doped polyaniline is prepared from N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP)/toluene-solution, a slightly lower conductivity is observed. The free-standing nanocomposite films possess conductivities up to 6.2 x 10 S/cm [23].
