One-Dimensional Organometallic Materials: An Analysis of Electronic Structure Effects

This lecture note gives an analysis of electronic structure effects for a new class of molecular solids, i. e. one-dimensional organometal­ lic systems formed by transition-met. l atoms that are embedded in a matrix of macrocyclic organic ligands. These systems as well as orga­ nic metals have focused considerable interest due to the potential formation of high-mobility charge carriers. For the present author it is difficult to participate in this restriction on a single physical property (...
