One-Dimensional Inorganic Systems

The most extensively studied one-dimensional inorganic system in terms of the chemical and physical properties is that based on tetracyanoplatinate ions. A variety of complexes have been prepared to aid in the interpretation via comparative studies of various physical properties. Since several of these substances can be easily obtained in the form of large high purity single crystals, they have been the principle choice as a material for intensive study.
