It is shown that the class of one-dimensional "metallic" conductors based on tetracyanoquinodimethan is not to be viewed as dominated by disorder. The experimental measurements of the electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, and nuclear relaxation rates are each inconsistent with the disorder model. It is concluded that the electronic properties of these tetracyanoquinodimethan salts are primarily determined by band and interaction effects.
