Abstract

A novel microelectrocrystallization (MEC) procedure (ten-fold decrease in halogenated solvent use, micromolar quantities of electron donor molecule and supporting electrolyte, and Hg free electrodes), necessitated by the very small available quantities of the novel organometallic Au(CF3)4– anion, has been developed to prepare two distinct phases of κ-(ET)2Au(CF3)4·(TCE)[ET = bis(ethylenedisulfanyl)tetrathiafulvalene, TCE = 1,1,2-trichloroethane] which exhibit ambient pressure superconductivity with onset temperatures of 2.1 and 10.5 K.
