Chemistry and physics of one-dimensional metals : [lectures presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Chemistry and Physics of One-Dimensional Metals held in Bolzano, Italy, August 17-29, 1976

tailor-made molecules and indicated what kind of compounds could be prepared in the near future. In several evening and weekend sessions some participants presented summaries of their recent work and these and other new results were discussed. A draft of these discussions could not be added in printed form because of the 1 imitations set by the total page number of this volume, but to give at least an idea of the problems touched upon during these sessions, a 1 ist of the main contributors together with the title of the conribution discussed is given as an appendix. The reader might contact these authors directly if interested in special recent results. I hope that the participants have profited from the meeting and, furthermore, that at least some of the readers of the following papers are stimulated to high-dimensional cooperative efforts on low-dimensional conductive sol ids. Primarily I have to thank NATO who made this project possible through generous financial support. Especially I would 1 ike to men­ tion gratefully the excellent cooperation with Dr. T. Kester of the NATO Scientific Affairs Division, whose personal efforts helped in the preparation and organization of the meeting. The Advanced Study Institute could not have taken place without the efforts of Mrs. Front Matter....Pages i-viii The Basic Physics of One-Dimensional Metals....Pages 1-23 The Organic Metallic State: Some Chemical Aspects....Pages 25-45 The Organic Metallic State: Some Physical Aspects and Chemical Trends....Pages 47-85 Charge Density Wave Phenomena in TTF-TCNQ and Related Organic Conductors....Pages 87-135 The Role of Coulomb Interactions in TTF-TCNQ....Pages 137-166 Electronic Properties of the Superconducting Polymer (SN) x ....Pages 167-195 Collective States in Single and Mixed Valence Metal Chain Compounds....Pages 197-223 The Structure of Linear Chain Transition Metal Compounds with 1-D Metallic Properties....Pages 225-231 The Chemistry of Anisotropic Organic Materials....Pages 233-256 Superconductivity and Superconducting Fluctuations....Pages 257-266 Instabilities in One-Dimensional Metals....Pages 267-278 Physical Considerations and Model Calculations for One-Dimensional Superconductivity....Pages 279-296 Organic Linear Polymers with Conjugated Double Bonds....Pages 297-314 X-Ray and Neutron Scattering Investigation of the Charge Density Waves in TTF-TCNQ....Pages 315-339 Electronic Properties of Organic Conductors: Pressure Effects....Pages 341-367 Charge Density Waves in Layered Compounds....Pages 369-390 Comparison of Columnar Organic and Inorganic Solids....Pages 391-412 Back Matter....Pages 413-426
