"molecule with an incomplete oxidation state... radical conductor... connected two tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)+0.5-type partially oxidized π-skeletons through a negatively charged boron (B) ion... facilitates intra- and intermolecular electronic interactions, the key to achieving incomplete oxidation states... 3D charge-ordered dimer-Mott insulating state at low temperatures... molecules with both positively and negatively charged groups (zwitterions) could potentially revolutionize superconducting technology"
