Abstract
Structure and conductivity of [2-R(1),5-R(3)-DCNQI]Cu-2 salts are desc ribed. The origin of the metallic behavior shown by DCNQI copper salts is discussed. A computational study of the pressure dependence of the crystal structures is presented which indicates that the stability of the metallic state is mainly dependent on the compactness of the crys tal packing.
