Abstract

A series of molecular conductors β′-(cation)[Pd(dmit) 2]2 (cation = Et2Me2P and Me 4P) exhibit various complicated pressure-induced phenomena. Resistivity measurements under high pressure up to 8 GPa have been carried out using a clamp-type piston-cylinder cell and cubic anvil type high pressure apparatus. The Et2Me2P salt shows non-metallic phases at low and high pressure regions, between which a metallic phase appears. The application of pressure suppresses the low-temperature resistivity of this salt. However, the non-metallic behavior still remains at low temperature under 8 GPa. For the Me4P salt, the metal-to-non-metal transition temperature reaches a minimum at 0.83 GPa and turns to increase with increasing pressure up to 8 GPa, showing no metallic state stable at low temperature
