Abstract

After the discovery of superconductivity in (BEDT-TTF){sub 2}ReO{sub 4}, the first sulfur-based organic superconductor, a large part of the research into organic superconductors was devoted to the BEDT-TTF salts. The most important BEDT-TTF superconductor was {beta}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}I{sub 3}. It was the first ambient-pressure BEDT-TTF superconductor, in addition its T{sub c} could be increased greatly to 8 K by the application of moderate pressure; this value was the highest T{sub c} of organic superconductors before the discovery of (BEDT-TTF){sub 2}Cu(NCS){sub 2}.
