Abstract

Molecular structure and, more importantly, molecular packing in organic superconducting salts (TMTSF){sub 2}X, {beta}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}X and {kappa}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}X will be examined in the context of deducing structure-property correlations in these systems. Such an approach has been instrumental in the discovery of superconductivity at 10.4 K in {kappa}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}Cu(NCS){sub 2}, and it will continue to serve as an important tool in the rational design of new organic superconductors with even higher superconducting transition temperatures.
