An organic superconductor, (TEA)(HEDO-TTF-dc)2·2(H2C2O4), coupled with strong hydrogen-bonding interactions†
Abstract
A new organic superconductor (TEA)(HEDO-TTF-dc)2·2(H2C2O4) (H2EDO-TTF-dc = ethylenedioxy-tetrathiafulvalene dicarboxylic acids) with an onset TC of 4.0 K, was successfully obtained using oxalic acid and HEDO-TTF-dc anion donor. The crystal structure analysis indicated that strong π–π overlaps and very strong intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding interactions exist between the HEDO-TTF-dc anion donors and oxalic acid molecules.
