“…The donor (push) or acceptor (pull) ability of the additional groups, plays an important role in the behavior concerning optical, conducting and superconducting properties of these materials. For example, the complexes [M(mnt) 2 ] [5] and [M(dmit) 2 ] [6] (see also [8,11,12,20]), of which the molecular formulas are shown in Figure 2 L15a (X = Et, X' = Pent), L15b (X = X' = iPr) L16 **** L17 (R, R several groups) L18 * L4a (X = Me), L4b (X = Br), L4c (X = F), L4d (X = CF 3 ), L4e (X = NO 2 ), L4f (X = Cl), L4g (X = CN), L4h (X = H), L4i (X = OMe); ** L9a (X = H), L9b (X = Me), L9c (X = Et), L9d (X = F), L9e (X = CF 3 ), L9f (X = tBu), L9g (X = C 6 H 6 ), L9h (X = COOH), L9i (X = COOMe), L9ji (X = OMe), L9k (X = OC 4 H 9 ), L9l (X = OC 8 On the other hand, the complexes [Ni(dddt) 2 ] [5] and [Ni(edo) 2 ] [14], of which the molecular formulas are shown in Figure 3, are based on ligands with donor ability and give cationic salts, which are conducting materials [13][14][15]21]. 2 and Ni(edo) 2 .…”
