Molecular Inorganic Conductors and Superconductors

O Hare),many new findings have appeared in this field. First of all, new superconducting phases based on [M(dmit)2] complexes have been isolated, and the first neutral metallic conductors based on nickel complexes of the TTF (tetrathiafulvalene)-extended dithiolene 

Molecular Materials Edited by Duncan W. Bruce, Dermot O Hare and Richard I. Walton 2010 John Wiley Sons, Ltd. 

This chapter first gives background on compounds that can be qualified as benchmarks in the field of molecular organic and inorganic conductors and superconductors. Focus is then further given to systems based on metal bis-dithiolene complexes. The last section considers the processing methods that can be applied to grow films of molecular conductors and superconductors.

TOWARDS THE APPLICATION OF MOLECULAR INORGANIC CONDUCTORS AND SUPERCONDUCTORS... 

Growth of molecular inorganic conductors and superconductors as films or nanowires is mainly conducted by electrodeposition due to the physico-chemical properties of the precursors and the necessary electrochemical activation to produce the conductive phase.
