Abstract
Physicochemical issues are discussed which are relevant to chemists interested in the synthesis of unknown compounds to serve as precursors to organic metals. Molecular topics are emphasized, physical and structural concepts which motivate synthetic activity in chalogen chemistry are presented, and new results in selenium and tellurium systems are summarized. Two model representations for donor molecular structures based on polyenes and polyacenes are presented and known examples are discussed. Quantitative correlations between gas phase vertical ionization potential and solution electrochemical redox potential are examined using donors of interest for organic metals as data. Limitations of such correlations and consequences of these shortcomings are given. Finally, possible future directions for several of these topics are posed.Keywords
