Two ambient-pressure organic superconductors have recently been synthesized from the sulfur-containing organic donor bis-(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF or ET). These superconductors ..beta..-(ET)/sub 2/I/sub 3/ (T/sub c/ approx. 1.6 K) and ..beta..-(ET)/sub 2/IBr/sub 7/ (T/sub c/ approx. 2.8 K) have stacks of ET molecules, and each ET stack contains loosely dimerized (ET)/sub 2//sup +/ units. The ET stacks also form molecular sheets. In the ..beta..-(ET)/sub 2/X crystals, the sheets of (ET)/sub 2//sup +/ dimers and X/sup -/ anions (I/sub 3//sup -/ or IBr/sub 2//sup -/) alternate. Between adjacent ET stacks in each ET sheet, numerous short S...S contact distances less than 3.6 A(i.e., the van der Waals radii sum of the S atoms) occur which suggests the presence of strong interstack interactions. In agreement with these structural characteristics, various electrical conductivity and optical measurements and band electronic structure calculations reveal that the ..beta..-(ET)/sub 2/X salts are two-dimensional (2D) metals. In the following, the intermolecular interactions between the ET molecules and their relations to the band structure are examined. In order to better describe the interstack S...S interactions, the s and p orbitals of carbon and sulfur were represented by double-zeta Slater type orbitals as employed in our band electronic structure calculations. Also, themore » significance of the short interstack S...S contacts for the interactions between ET molecules will be examined. 18 references, 1 figure, 1 table.« less
