Abstract: Abstract Rf penetration depth measurements show (MDT-TTF)2AuI2 to be an ambient pressure superconductor with a Tc ∼4.5 K. The effectof hydrostatic pressure on Tc was found to be −0.92 K/kbar, which suggests that anions longer than AuI2- may puff up the lattice and may yield cation-radical salts of MDT-TTF with even higher superconducting transition temperatures. (MDT-TTF)2AuI2 has a room temperature ESR linewidth of ∼ 100 G, which gradually increases as the temperature is lowered. The structure and properties of (MDT-TTF)2AuI2 bear a clos...
