摘要
The first molecular superconductor based on BEDT-TTF radical cation salt with the paramagnetic tris(oxalato) ruthenate anion, beta ''-(BEDT-TTF)(4)K-x(H3O)(1-x)[Ru-III(ox)(3)]C6H5Br (x similar to 0.8), is synthesized and its crystal and electronic structure as well as transport and magnetotransport properties are studied. The single crystals have monoclinic C2/c symmetry and beta ''-packing of the conducting BEDT-TTF layer. The samples were found to be superconductors with T-c = 2.8-6.3 K (depending on the sample). Well pronounced Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations are observed in the field range 7-17 T. The Fourier spectrum of the oscillations mainly consists of two frequencies, which correspond to the Fermi surface cross sections 6.3% and 0.85% of the Brillouin zone. The first one with good accuracy corresponds to the calculated cross section 7.5%, the origin of the second one is discussed. Semiconducting orthorhombic phase 'pseudo-kappa'-(BEDT-TTF)(4)K-x(H3O)(1-x)[Ru-III(ox)(3)]C6H5CN is also synthesized and studied.
