Frontier‐orbital design aided in the preparation of the novel neutral linear chain rhodium( I , II ) complex [Rh(3,6‐dbdiox‐4,5‐Cl 2 )(CO) 2 ] ∞ (see picture), in which the mixed‐valent state is formed by electron transfer between metal d and semiquinonate π* orbitals (3,6‐dbdiox‐4,5‐Cl 2 : semiquinonate or catecholate of 3,6‐di‐ tert ‐butyl‐4,5‐dichloro‐1,2‐benzoquinone). This compound exhibits high conductivity (17–34 S cm −1 ) at room temperature in spite of its being a neutral molecule.
