Quasi-one-dimensional halogen (X)-bridged metal (M ) complexes [1], which are referred to as MX chains, have been attracting much interest for several decades. They present an interesting stage performed by electronelectron correlation, electron-lattice interaction, low dimensionality, and d-p orbital hybridization [2]. The Mott and Peierls insulators compete with each other in their ground states, while topological defects such as solitons and polarons appear in their excited states exhibiting unique transport properties [3]. In recent years, a new class of these materials [4][5][6][7], which is characterized by binuclear metal complexes bridged by halogens and is thus referred to as MMX chains, has stimulating further interest in one-dimensional unit-assembled spin-chargelattice coupling systems. In comparison with MX chains,
