The past two decades have witnessed unabated interest in the synthesis and characterization of organic charge-transfer (CT) salts that display unusual solidstate properties. Metallic conductivity and superconductivity are the most glamorous phenomena to have been discovered in these materials, and recently attention has also been directed to the novel magnetic and optical properties which CT salts can display. This is a multi-disciplinary field that challenges the skills of synthetic chemists, crystallographers, applied physicists, theoreticians, and materials scientists. The motivation behind research on these exotic materials is twofold:(i) there is a wealth of fundamental solid-state chemistry and physics to be uncovered and (ii) there are potentially many far-reaching technological applications within the arena of molecular electronic devices. The same is true of conducting polymers (eg polyacetylene and polythiophene) and progress in the two areas (CT salts and conducting polymers) has largely gone hand-in-hand. Herein, we are concerned with CT salts that are electronic conductors and we will highlight some of the materials that are currently at the forefront of attention. The vast majority of work has involved studies on single crystals. However, innovative results are emerging with Langmuir-Blodgett film materials. It is, therefore, timely to devote a significant part of this review to this new area. This article is written by a chemist, and the approach to the subject will, therefore, be different from that of a scientist from another discipline studying the same materials.
