Abstract

We report magnetoinfrared measurements of two quasi-isostructural κ-phase organic molecular solids: κ−(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br (Tc=11.6K) and the nonsuperconducting κ−(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Cl analog. Our results support the contributing role of electron-molecular vibrational coupling to superconductivity in layered organic superconductors, and we identify the most important totally symmetric modes in κ−(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br within the nonplanar molecular building block picture.
