The close relationship between experimentalists and theorists - whether
solid state chemists or physicists - has, in the last few years,
inspired much research in the field of materials with quasi
one-dimensional structures.
Part II of this two-volume set deals with the experimental treatment of
pseudo-one-dimensional conductors. Included are contributions on
platinum chains, (SN)x and (SNBry)x, the optical
properties of 1-D inorganic metals, CDW transport in transition metal
chalcogenides, and a lattice dynamical study of transition metal
trichalcogenides.
