Abstract

Structural properties of the layered organic superconductor κL−(DMEDO−TSeF)2[Au(CN)4](THF) have been investigated, where DMEDO-TSeF is dimethyl(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene. We have found that a structural phase transition occurs at Td=209K, and that only the (00l) Bragg reflections split into two along the b* direction below Td. The low-temperature structure is composed of two monoclinic domains with the space group P21∕n11. The low-temperature monoclinic phase has two crystallographically independent dimers in a conducting layer, suggesting that the present compound potentially borders on the checkerboard-type charge ordered state, and has possibly different symmetry of superconductivity from the ordinary κ-type superconductors.
