Notes:
We present a simple model for the calculation of some properties of disordered one-dimensional organic conductors. We focus our attention on two points: the decrease of the insulator-to-metal transition temperature and the increase of the highest electrical conductivity temperature that both occur when the amount of disorder is increased. We give an explanation that brings a new insight to the still little understood zone around the insulator-to-metal transition. The model enters the general framework of the alternant molecular orbital method and seems to be a priori restricted to systems such as NMP-TCNQ. We discuss its possible application to more complicated systems such as TTF-TCNQ.
