Abstract

A simple, effective method for deducing the fit of the complex anion, X, within its structural cavity for (TMTSF) 2X salts with tetrahedral anions is presented. Subsequent analysis suggests that an electronic instability is operative over the full range of salts, becoming coincident with or leading to anion ordering and an insulating ground state above some critical fit of the anion within its structural cavity. Moreover, (TMTSF) 2C10 4 can be considered unique in that the perchlorate anion is too small for anion ordering to be the critical instability, yet large enough for anion ordering to occur at a finite temperature.
