The crystal structures of the family of low-dimensional molecular conductors based on radical cation salts of different organic {pi} donors with photochromic and magnetic metal complexes as anions have been considered. This class of supramolecular systems demonstrates a large variety of structural types and a wide range of transport properties. The specificity of the structure and properties of such hybrid materials is illustrated by several examples. The crystallochemical analysis of the conductors considered indicates the possibility of purposeful control of their transport properties via changing of the charge, sizes, shape, and symmetry of the anionic block components. The specificity of the crystal structure and properties of some organic conductors shows that such systems can be used as model systems in the study of new physical phenomena related to electron correlation and effects of charge ordering.
