Abstract

Charge transfer complexes of formula I [A].sub.2.sup..crclbar. B.sup..sym. (I), wherein a) A is a compound of formula II or a mixture of compounds of formula II ##STR1## wherein the R substituents are identical and are H or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, or the adjacent R substituents, taken together, are --(CH.sub.2).sub.3 -- or --(CH.sub.2).sub.4 --; R.sub.1 is H or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl; and X.sub.1 is =N--CN, and X.sub.2, X.sub.3 and X.sub.4 are =O or =N--CN, and b) B is a ferrocene or an indenyl derivative whose reduction potential E.sub.1/2 is <0.41 V, based on the standard calomel electrode. The complexes are electric conductors with which polymers can be provided with an antistatic treatment or converted into electric conductors.
