Abstract

The article focuses on the detection of superconductivity in organic compounds. The structural building blocks of these organic compounds fit closely together in quasi-one dimensional structures. It requires small amount of energy to partially fill or partially open a valence energy bond. The valence electrons can easily propagate current through these structures.
