Show affiliationsThe temperature dependence of transport properties (DC conductivity, 9.1 GHz conductivity and dielectric constant, thermoelectric power) measured on single crystals of a series of well-conducting, complex, charge-transfer salts of the form D(TCNQ)2 is presented. In all except one case the donors are asymmetric and the corresponding dipole moments were calculated by a molecular orbital method. It is demonstrated that donors with large dipole moments are arranged regularly leading to a charge-ordered state with low conductivity and a large energy gap. Smaller donor dipoles are stacked randomly. When intrachain and interchain Coulomb forces are much larger than the random donor-acceptor interactions the material is a band semiconductor with a small but well-defined energy gap. For large random site energies random localization is important; the implication of this on the transport properties is discussed in view of different theories.
