Two new BEDT-TTF based charge transfer salts, [BEDT-TTF](4)[C(CN)(2)CO
NH2] CuX(2) (X = Cl and Br0.77Cl0.22) have been synthesized and charac
terized with use of x-ray diffraction, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy
(EDS), and Raman spectroscopy. ESR spectroscopy reveals that the anion
layer contains 3% of paramagnetic Cu(II) species which exhibit Curie-
Weiss behavior with a Weiss constant of theta = -2.8 K. Both compounds
are metallic below 150 K. AC susceptibility, RF penetration depth, an
d RF impedance measurements under pressure do not reveal signals of su
perconductivity.
