Four-probe resistivity measurements were made on an organic semiconductor,
beta'-(BFDT-TTF)(2)ICl2 up to 10 GPa by using a diamond anvil high-pressure
cell. The activation energy was decreased with increasing pressure and the
metallic phase appeared around 8 GPa. When the pressure was kept around 10
GPa, the resistivity was gradually increased with time, indicating an irre
versible pressure-induced solid state transformation.
