47CONCLUSIONS ON HYDROGEN/HALOGEN BONDING
? Hydrogen- or halogen bonding interactions
coexist with delocalized band structures for
metallic conductivity ? Hydrogen- or halogen
bonding interactions are enhanced in such salts
because of their (in part) electrostatic nature
? No superconductivity observed to
date Question to theoreticians Does the
rigidity of hydrogen- or halogen bonding in the
solid prevents a lattice softness required for
superconductivity ?

52THEORETICIANS DREAMS
Th. Giamarchi (in Chem. Rev. 2004, 14,
5037) The Bechgaard salts are, in some sense,
too interesting materials, with too many
phenomena occuring at once. To better understand
these phenomena, it would be good to have other
compounds in which some degree of simplification
or new physics occurs. Three main directions
highlighted ? Non-dimerized systems ?
Interchain coupling ? Mott gap and doping
53DREAM No 1 NON-DIMERIZED SYSTEMS
- ? Donor chains in Bechgaard salts are slightly
dimerized, hence - the conduction band splits into two bands and the
upper band is half filled - Electronic localization is associated with ¼ and
½-Umklapp electron - scattering processes
- A non-dimerized, quarter-filled system is
expected to be a Mott insulator - with ¼ -Umklapp scattering only
- Experimental realization in EDT-TTF-CONMe22AsF6
54A QUARTER-FILLED SYSTEM EDT-TTF-CONMe22AsF6
- ? CH???O hydrogen bonds rigidify the stacks
along c - In both HT Pnma and LT P21/c forms, molecules
within a stack are - related to each other via a glide plane, hence
the uniform stacks

Clérac, E. Canadell, P. Auban-Senzier, S. Ravy,
D. Jérome, Adv. Mater. 2003, 15, 1251.
55DREAM No 2 INTERCHAIN COUPLING
- In Bechgaard salts, 3000 K, 300 K, 30 K energies
range for coupling - lead to successive 1D, 2D and 3D regimes. Can
we avoid the 2D regime ? - Smaller interchain coupling can we imagine
one-dimensional systems - staying 1D down to low temperatures ?
- Phtalocyanines could be an answer
- Cf T. Inabe, H. Tajima, Chem. Rev. 2004, 104,
5503 - More isotropic interchain coupling is the 2D
structure necessary for - superconductivity ?
- Single-Component Conductors could be the answer
because of - the absence of counter-ions
- Cf A. Kobayashi, E. Fujiwara, H. Kobayashi,
Chem. Rev. 2004, 104, 5243
56DREAM No 3 DOPING
- High Tc superconductors are doped Mott
insulators - Can we dope molecular systems ?
- Unusual band filling could be the answer
- Cf T. Mori, Chem. Rev. 2004, 104, 4947.
- k-ET4Hg3-dBr8,
- (d 0.11)
- is a ambient-pressure
- superconductor
- with a donor charge
- equal to 0.5 d/2

57CONCLUSIONS AND PERSPECTIVES
- Original, inventive synthetic chemistry is more
than ever needed - to provide novel attractive systems (TTP
systems, dimers,) -
- - from charged materials to single-component
conductors ? - - from hydrogen bonding to soft matter chemistry
? - - from symmetric molecules to low symmetry, to
chirality issues ? -
- Only very close collaboration of chemists with
physicists and theoreticians - allows for fruitful discoveries
- - that requires strong pedagogical efforts from
all involved. - - many structures expected by theoreticians
already exist - but they are not explored
- Lets check all that on Friday noon !
