Description

We have investigated the phase diagram of the organic charge-transfer salt ditetramethyltetraselenafulvalenium flourosulfonate [(TMTSF)2FSO3] which contains an asymmetric dipolar anion. At low pressures there is a metal-insulator transition related to anion ordering. Between 5 and 6 kbar, there is a dipolar glass phase with increased resistivity. However, thermopower and superconducting measurements indicate that the Fermi surface remains ungapped. Above 5 kbar there is a superconducting transition with T/sub c/>2 K. This is the highest T/sub c/ for this family of compounds and suggests that the anions can enhance T/sub c/
