Is there a relationship between aromaticity and conductivity?

Abstract

Advances in the search for organic metals and superconductors will be presented from an historical perspective. It will be shown that Hückel 4n+2 Φ electron derealization is useful as a driving force for the generation of open shell molecules - the components of organic metals and superconductors. It will also be shown that “intermolecular migration of aromaticity,” while an intriguing suggestion, is not as valid as other solid state chemical and physical concepts. © 1982 IUPAC
