Infrared optical investigations ofhave been performed in the spectral range from 80 todown to temperatures as low as 10 K by applying hydrostatic pressure. In the metallic state,K, we observe a 50% increase in the Drude contribution as well as the mid-infrared band due to the growing intermolecular orbital overlap with pressure up to 11 kbar. In the ordered state,, we extract how the electronic charge per molecule varies with temperature and pressure: Transport and optical studies demonstrate that charge order and metal-insulator transition coincide and consistently yield a linear decrease of the transition temperaturebyK/kbar. The charge disproportionationdiminishes by/kbar and the optical gapbetween the bands decreases with pressure by/kbar. In our high-pressure and low-temperature experiments, we do observe contributions from the massive charge carriers as well as from massless electrons to the low-frequency optical conductivity, however, without being able to disentangle them unambiguously.
