We successfully synthesized La- and Sm-doped phenanthrene powder samples and observed superconductivity in them at Tc around 6 K. The Tcs are 6.1 K for La1 phenanthrene and 6.0 K for Sm1 phenanthrene, which are enhanced by about 1 and 0.5 K compared to those in A3 phenanthrene (A = K and Rb) and in Ae1.5 phenanthrene (Ae = Sr and Ba) superconductors, respectively. The superconductive shielding fractions for La1 phenanthrene and Sm1 phenanthrene are 46.1% and 49.8% at 2 K, respectively. The small effect of doping with the magnetic ion Sm3+ on Tc and the positive pressure dependence coefficient of Tc strongly suggest unconventional superconductivity in the doped phenanthrene superconductors. The charge transfer to organic molecules from dopants of La and Sm induces a redshift of 7 cm−1 per electron for the mode at 1441 cm−1 in the Raman spectra, which is almost the same as those observed in A3 phenanthrene (A = K and Rb) and Ae1.5 phenanthrene (Ae = Sr and Ba) superconductors.
