Substituent-effect induced tuning of the molecular and solid state properties of organic metals has been of interest to us as a part of our research programme.' For instance, methyl substitution on tetracyanoquinodimethane, TCNQ, affects electron affinities, such that band filling can be varied, as well as inter-stack interactions (because of the longer inter-stack distances), so that a nearly one-dimensional system can be obtained. With the precedents of ...
