Extended Linear Chain Compounds: Volume 1

Linear chain substances span a large cross section of contemporary chemistry ranging from covalent polymers, to organic charge transfer complexes to nonstoichiometric transition metal coordination complexes. Their commonality, which coalesced intense interest in the theoretical and exper­ imental solid state physics/chemistry communities, was based on the obser­ vation that these inorganic and organic polymeric substrates exhibit striking metal-like electrical and optical properties.
