The design of electron donors for metallic and superconducting organic solids requires the incorporation of a large number of increasingly polarizable elements such as S, Se, and Te. Contrary to this dictum, the authors designed the new donor BEDO-TTF (1, aka BEDO), which has oxygen substituents. Here they present results on a BEDO salt that indicates that, contrary to the above, oxygen substitution can increase the metallic bandwidth, thus stabilizing the metallic state down to low temperature and producing an organic solid that is akin to a typical inorganic metal in its transport and magnetic properties.
