Abstract

More than one hundred and twenty conducting salts based on the organic donor-molecule BEDT-TTF are known, where BEDT-TTF is bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (abbreviated herein as ET). Several of the early salts possessed tetrahedral and octahedral anions, such as (ET){sub 2}ClO{sub 4}(TCE), (ET){sub 2}PF{sub 6}, (ET){sub 2}ReO{sub 4}, and (ET){sub 2}BrO{sub 4}. The perchlorate salt is metallic to 1.4 K,{sup 1} and the perrenate derivative was the first ET based organic superconductor ({Tc} 2 K, 4.5 kbar). Since the discovery of ambient pressure superconductivity in {beta}-(ET){sub 2}I{sub 3} ({Tc} 1.4 K),{sup 5} other isostructural {beta}-(ET){sub 2}X salts have been prepared with higher {Tc}'s. A structure-property correlation for the {beta}-type salts has been reviewed in this volume; it predicts that {Tc}'s higher than 8K are possible if {beta}-salts with linear anions longer than I{sub 3}{sup {minus}} can be synthesized. During the search for new linear anions, a variety of compounds with discovered with polymeric anions. The report of superconductivity in {kappa}-(ET){sub 4}Hg{sub 3}X{sub 8} (X = Cl, {Tc} 5.4 K 29 kbar and X = Br, {Tc} 4.3 K ambient pressure and 6.7 K 3.5 kbar) and {kappa}-(ET){sub 2}Cu(NCS){sub 2} ({Tc} 10.4 K) further stimulated the search for novel polymeric anions.

Structure-property relationships for. beta. - and. kappa. -phase BEDT-TTF salts and their use in the synthesis of. kappa. -(BEDT-TTF) sub 2 Cu(N(CN) sub 2 )Br

Conference Williams, J M ; Kini, A M ; Geiser, U ; ...

A new ambient pressure organic superconductor, {kappa}-(ET){sub 2}Cu(N(CN){sub 2})Br, has been discovered with an inductive onset {Tc} = 11.6 {plus minus} 0.1 K (resistive onset = 12.5 {plus minus} 0.1 K). The anion in the new salt consists of a polymeric mixed (halide)(pseudohalide)cuprate(I) species. Because of the large number of metal/halide/pseudohalide substitutions that can be made in this anionic species, it opens up an entirely new conceptual approach to the design of additional conducting and superconducting (with even higher {Tc}'s) cation-radical salts by use of planar polymeric anions. Studies along these lines are currently under way in our laboratory. Itmore »« less
New organic synthetic metals derived from BEDT-TTF, Ni(dsit) sub 2 and BEDO-TTF

Conference Beno, M A ; Kini, A M ; Geiser, U ; ...

Three strategies have been employed by us to synthesize new organic synthetic metals and superconductors. On the basis of structure-property correlations derived for the {beta}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}X salts, new charge transfer salts of BEDT-TTF with large, polarizable anions have been synthesized. The occurrence of molecular dimers has been engineered into salts of the new organic acceptor molecule, Ni(dsit){sub 2} (bis (4,5 -diselenolate -1,3-dithiole-2-thione) nickelate), to synthesize salts with acceptor packing similar to the donor packing in {kappa}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}Cu(SCN){sub 2}. Finally, two charge transfer salts of bis(ethylenedioxy)tetrathiafulvalene, BEDO-TTF, namely (BEDO-TTF){sub 2}AuBr{sub 2} and (BEDO-TTF){sub 2}AuI{sub 2} have been synthesized.

Isotope effect study of {kappa}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}Cu(NCS){sub 2}: Labeling in the anion

Technical Report Kini, A M ; Wang, H H ; Schlueter, J A

Since the initial discovery of organic superconductivity in 1979, a large number of organic superconductors have now been synthesized. However, the mechanism of electron-pairing in these novel superconductors has remained largely unresolved. Isotope effect studies constitute an important experimental tool for the investigation of whether or not the electron-pairing mechanism in organic superconductors is phonon-mediated, as in conventional superconductors. Recent isotope effect studies in the authors` laboratory, involving seven different isotopically labeled BEDT-TTF (or ET) derivatives, have demonstrated the following: (1) intramolecular phonon modes involving C{double_bond}C and C{single_bond}S stretching vibrations in the ET donor molecule are not the dominant mediatorsmore »« less

Journal Article Sugano, T ; Hayashi, H ; Kinoshita, M ; ... - Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

Polarized reflectance spectra of the organic superconductors protonated and deuterated kappa-(BEDT-TTF)/sub 2/(Cu(NCS)/sub 2/) (H and D salts) (BEDT-TTF = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) were measured over the range from 500 to 28 000 cm/sup /minus/1/ at room temperature with light polarizations parallel to the crystallographic /ital b/ and /ital c/ axes which lie on the two-dimensional conducting plane. Polarized reflectance spectra of the organic superconductor ..beta..-(BEDT-TTF)/sub 2/I/sub 3/ and the organic metal ..beta..''-(BEDT-TTF)/sub 2/AuBr/sub 2/ were also measured in order to discuss the influence of different molecular arrangements and hydrogen-anion contacts on the electronic and vibrational properties of these salts.

Universal inverse deuterium isotope effect on the T{sub c} of BEDT-TTF based molecular superconductors.

Journal Article Schlueter, J A ; Kini, A M ; Ward, B H ; ... - Physica C

Deuterium substitution of the ethylene end groups of the ET [ET: BEDT-TTF or bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene] electron-donor molecule results in a 0.25 K increase in the superconducting transition temperature of three molecular superconductors derived from this molecule. Simplistically speaking, this change in T{sub c} is in contradiction to that predicted by the electron-phonon coupling mechanism of the BCS theory. We suggest that the slight shortening of the C-D bond relative to the C-H bond, coupled with the recent findings of a large, negative uniaxial pressure derivative of T{sub c} in {kappa}-(ET){sub 2}Cu(SCN){sub 2} and {beta}'-(ET){sub 2}SF{sub 5}CH{sub 2}CF{sub 2}SO{sub 3}, can explainmore »« less
