✦ Synopsis

Interest in organic conductors assumed considerable importance in the early sixties and really blossomed with the synthesis of tetracyano-p-2_uino-dimethane (TCN&:I_) and TCXQtetrathiafulvalene (TTF:~) charge transfer salts.' In spite of considerable work in the TCNQ:l_ TTP:i last 15 years, the detailed molecular requirements for high conductivity in organic materials are poorly established and have been the subject of speculation in the literature. 192 Although the entire field of monomeric and polymeric conductors is still in its early stages, the following interesting arguments, observations and results have, already been reported:

1. The high conductivity of (modified) TTF-TCNQ compounds;3

2. The violene redox system; 4 3) The increase in polymer conductivity by proper design of monomer;5
