From Molecules to Conductors and Superconductors

In two-component assemblies, the interaction, between donor and acceptor molecules or donor molecules and anions, affects their molecular arrangement and physical property as well. Polymeric anions may govern the donor packing, and magnetic anions often interact with the conduction -electrons. This is one of the interesting aspects of the study of organic molecular conductors not only the freedom of molecular design but also the combination of molecules. 

3 On the Guidelines for Selecting Candidate Systems for Molecular Conductors 

A number of structural, experimental and theoretical studies on organic molecular conductors have revealed the criteria required for the formation of stable metallic molecular conductors, while the following guidelines are quite fundamental however, they are useful indicators for synthetic chemists.
