Abstract

The phenomenon of organic superconductivity was discovered for the first time in the organic cation-anion radical salts (TMTSF)2X in 1980, with characteristic critical temperatures of the order of one Kelvin (TSC≃1K).1 Substantially higher critical temperature (TSC≃8K) was recently achieved in the organic compound belonging to the (BEDT-TTF) series: s-(BEDT-TTF)2|3.2 Extensive amount of the research has been devoted to understand the nature and the origin of organic superconductivity. This paper will review a part of it performed on the compounds from the (TMTSF)2X family (X-=ClO 4 - , ReO 4 - and FSO 3 - ) and the solid solution (TMTSF)2(ClO4)1-x (ReO4)x, 0<x<1.
