The discovery of superconductivity in an organic charge-transfer salt containing an oxygen-bearing organic-donor molecule is reported. The synthesis of the compound, {beta}{sub m}-(BEDO-TTF){sub 3}Cu{sub 2}(NCS){sub 3} BEDO-TTF = bis(ethylenedioxy) tetrafulvalene, is described. Its crystal structure, its characteristic ESR properties, results of inductive measurements of its superconducting transition, and its band electronic structure are all reported. 18 refs., 3 figs.
