A new family of organic molecules, 2-R 1-5-R 2-DCNQI (with R 1, R 2= CH 3, CH 3 O, Cl, or Br; DCNQI= N, N’-dicyanoquinonediimine) works as a ligand as well as an electron acceptor to form highly conducting, charge-transfer and coordination compounds as (2-R 1-5-R 2-DCNQI) 2 M (with M= Cu, Ag, Li, Na, K, or NH 4). These salts are investigated by the measurements of electrical conductivity, thermoelectric power, and electron spin resonance, which are appropriately understood by classifying them into three groups. Group-I DCNQI salts consisting of the salts with cations M other than Cu, undergo the Peierls transitions between 50 and 100 K. Their thermoelectric power is interpreted by the large-U limit of the Hubbard model. Group-II DCNQI salts, the Cu salts of the halogen-substituted DCNQI, also exhibit the Peierls transitions between 150 and 250 K, followed by the antiferromagnetic transitions around 10 K. With the one-dimensional tight-binding approximation, the bandwidth is estimated to be 0.4–0.5 eV. Group-III DCNQI salts, the Cu salts with R 1= R 2= CH 3 or CH 3 O retain metallic conductivity down to 1.5 K, whereas a magnetic transition takes place at 5.5 K. This may be the first organic conductor in which metallic conduction and a magnetic order coexist. The magnetic order is attributed to the comparatively localized Cu 2+ spins present independently of the conduction electrons on DCNQI, where the average oxidation state of Cu has been estimated to be Cu 1. 3+..
