Abstract
Superconductivity is discovered in new type of two-dimensional organic metal κ-(BEDSe-TTF)2CuN(CN)2Br consisting of BEDT-TTF donor analogue having selenium-substituted six-member outer rings. This salt is isostructural to the corresponding BEDT-TTF salt and shows metallic behavior accompanied with a spin-density-wave transition at TMI ∼ 25 K. The application of pressure up to 0.15 GPa generates superconducting state at Tc = 7.5 K, which is lower than Tc of the BEDT-TTF salt (Tc = 11.6 K). The lowering of Tc and the modification in the electronic structure are explained in terms of the important contribution of selenium electrons and the concomitant enhancement in donor dimerization.
