    Organic synthetic metals now achieve record superconducting transition temperatures near 13 Kelvin. These BEDT-TTF (ET) based materials share properties with copper oxide superconductors, advancing materials science.

    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Condensed Matter Physics
    • Organic Chemistry

    Background:

    • Organic synthetic metals are a class of materials with unique electronic properties.
    • Superconductivity, the ability to conduct electricity with zero resistance, is a key phenomenon in condensed matter physics.
    • Copper oxide superconductors exhibit high superconducting transition temperatures (T(c)) and complex behaviors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review recent advancements in organic synthetic metals.
    • To highlight organic superconductors with the highest reported T(c) values.
