Abstract

In addition to two organic superconductors (DODHT)2X [DODHT = (1,4-dioxane-2,3-diyldithio)dihydrotetrathiafulvalene; X = PF6 and AsF6] previously reported by us, the BF4 salt of DODHT containing one water molecule [(DODHT)2BF4 x H2O] has been found to undergo a superconducting transition at 3.2 K under a hydrostatic pressure of 15.5 kbar.
