The exciton mechanism: Studies in model compounds

TLDR: In this paper, the authors discussed the little model for a macromolecular high temperature superconductor in terms of its component parts, and showed that polymeric metallocenes, in which planar aromatic hydrocarbon rings and meatal atmos alternate, may be suitable.

Abstract: The “Little” model for a macromolecular high temperature superconductor can be discussed in terms of its component parts. Studies on molecules designed to serve as the polyene and the polyene spine indicate that polymeric metallocenes, in which planar aromatic hydrocarbon rings and meatal atmos alternate, may be suitable. Toward this end the hydrocarbon dicyclopentanaphthalene, and various substituted derivatives were synthesized, and the polymerization of the corresponding dianions with ferrous chloride were investigated.
