One dimensional solids have grown explicitly over the past few years owing to the striking similarities it gives along with conducting polymers as well as semiconductors.
A relatively young field with great amount of scope for development with M--M multiple bonds the one dimensional solids
4. By far the most successful approach to one-
dimensional physics are highly anisotropic
crystals.
K2Pt(CN) 4.3H2O is white and non conducting.
Pt valance integral is +2

(a) Reflectivity of K2Pt(CN) 4Br0. 3·H2O (abbreviated KCP) measured parallel
and perpendicular to the chains at different temperatures as indicated.
(b) Optical conductivity of KCP for E k stacks at T = 40 K.
8. While in KCP the metallic properties are due to the platinum ions, organic
conductors form a class of solids with no metal atoms present (or relevant).
Instead the π electrons distributed over of the entire organic molecule form
the orbitals which might overlap and lead to band-like conductivity.
The additional degree of freedom, tailoring these molecules, supplements
the structural arrangement in the crystal and makes it possible to fine-tune
competing contributions for the desired properties.
This makes organic materials superior for studying low-dimensional
physics and ordering phenomena in solids.

Pt(II) isoelectronic with Ir(I) but greater spatial
extensions of d orbitals may allow stronger

11. No doubt, one-dimensional Chemistry matured from a toy
model to an extremely active
field of theoretical and experimental research, spanning a
broad range from quantum
gases to condensed-matter physics and semiconductor
technology.
Several novel and exciting phenomena can be
investigated in these systems. In one-dimensional metals
collective modes replace the single-particle excitations
common to three-dimensional conductors

12. Planar complexes arrange in stacks to give infinite
chains of metal atom
Optical properties of the crystal are anisotropic in
nature with strong absorption bands polarised in the
direction of the metal atom chains
But M—M distances are long and they donot have
any intrinsic conductivity
