CH…S and S…S: Two major forces in organic conductors

The packing in molecular crystals is determined by intermolecular interactions. An understanding of these interactions would enable the design of systems exhibiting effective conductivity and superconductivity. By careful analysis of the shortest intermolecular interactions in the crystal combined with accurate ab‐initio calculatins it has been shown that CH…X and S…S are the two interactions most likely to influence the structures of these materials.
