An organic conductor, also known as a molecular conductor, is a material that is primarily composed of organic molecules and exhibits metallic conductivity. Most such materials are based on planar π-conjugated molecular systems and have attracted attention in the study of low-dimensional physics. They are also known for displaying a variety of electronic properties, including superconductivity, charge density waves, spin density waves, Mott insulators, and charge ordering. This field originated in the early 1950s and has developed through efforts to improve electrical conductivity and develop organic conductors and superconductors.
