The contribution of donor-acceptor interchain electron-electron scattering to the dc resistivity is calculated for one-dimensional charge-transfer metallic conductors. The interchain electron-electron interaction is due to Coulombic or phonon-exchange interactions. The resistivity arises from U processes when the relative signs of the slopes of the donor and acceptor bands are the same and from N processes when they are opposite. The results predict an upper bound for the strength of interchain and possibly on-site Coulomb interactions. Application of the model to TTF-TCNQ (tetrathiafulvalenium tetracyanoquinodimethanide) is discussed.
