Abstract A s i m p l e band model deduced from t h e one-electron metal functions split by an electric field of the ligands c a n be successfully u s e d as a guideline in the directed synthesis of linear chain transition metal complexes with strong intermolecular interactions. One-dimensional metallic behaviour c a n be f o u n d for instance in planar transition m e t a l compounds w i t h 8 d-electrons b u t o n l y if small a n d strongly π-electron accepting equatorial ligands are used. Suitable ligands are carbonyl and isonitrile groups in connec­ tion with iridium(I) and r h o d i u m ( I ) ions. I.r., H-n.m.r., 195Pt-n.m.r., e.s.r., u.v. and 193Ir-Mößbauer spectra show that increasing increasing and increasing electron donating properties of the ligands considerably decrease the strength of the intermolecular metal interactions. A planar transition m e t a l complex w i t h less t h a n 8 d-electrons p e r m e t a l s h o u l d be far better suited for the formation of 1d-metals. But b e c a u s e o f t h e strong L e w i s acid activity of these compounds t h e donating solvent m o l e c u l e s occupy the axial positions of the central m e t a l atom and h e n c e prevent the self-association necessary for the building up o f a linear chain. Preparative procedures to o v e r c o m e t h e s e p r o b l e m s a r e p r o p o s e d . The structure and c h e m i c a l properties o f one o f t h e obtained "mixed valence" solids which contains a linear I-3-chain additionally is especially interesting since two n o n d e generate conduction spines are running closely parallel t o e a c h o t h e r t h r o u g h t h e lattice. 1
