Abstract
Electrically-conducting films comprising at least one monomolecular layer of an organic charge transfer complex and their production process. These films comprise at least one monomolecular layer of an organic charge transfer complex having at least one electron acceptor group and at least one electron donor group, the electron acceptor and/or donor group having at least one hydrocarbon chain with 16 to 30 carbon atoms and the electron acceptor and/or donor groups being organized in such a way that two adjacent groups of the same type, namely electron donors or electron acceptors, can be sufficiently coupled in the plane of the layer to exchange an electron and ensure an electrical conduction in said plane. The charge transfer complex can be an alkyl pyridinium-tetracyanoquinodimethane.
