Abstract

Disclosed is, for example, a compound that can be a material which can control many functions. According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an organic semiconductor compound characterized in that the organic semiconductor compound is produced by forming a salt of organic molecules as a donor with an inorganic acid or an inorganic base and causes self-accumulation. According to the above constitution, the organic semiconductor compound can be obtained in a simple manner. According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an organic compound characterized by being produced by deriving an ammonia salt or a hydroxyamine salt from a compound having a tetrathiafulvalene analogue site in the skeleton thereof and containing a protonic acid functional group. According to the above constitution, an organic compound which can control many functions can be obtained.
