Abstract
A hint of superconducting transition has been observed for the first time i n a cation radical salt derived from bisethyl-enethio-tetrathiafulvalene (B ET-TTF), the salt (BET-TTF)(2)Br . 3H(2)O. Here the synthesis, X-ray struct ure, and physical properties of two hydrated halides of BET-TTF that are is ostructural and present stable metallic properties are described. The Figur e is a perspective view of the crystal structure of (BET-TTF)(2)Br .3H2O, l ayers of BET-TTF radical cation alternating along the a-direction with poly meric anion networks.
