Abstract
Heat capacity of a quasi-one-dimensional organic conductor (DIMET)(2)I-3 ha s been measured by chopped-light ac calorimetry below room temperature. An anomaly due to a metal-insulator transition has been clearly detected aroun d 40K. The magnitude of the anomaly is analyzed through comparison with oth er Q1D conductors. A possible SDW mechanism is suggested.
