Organic superconductor

Patent Pending An organic superconductor is a synthetic organic compound that exhibits superconductivity at low temperatures. As of 2007 the highest achieved critical temperature for an organic superconductor at standard pressure is 33 kelvin, observed in the alkali-doped fullerene RbCs2C60.[1][2] In 1979 Klaus Bechgaard synthesized the first organic superconductor (TMTSF)2PF6 (the corresponding material class was named after him later) with a transition temperature of TC = 1.1 K, at an external pressure of 6.5 kbar.
