Description

Successive metal-insulator transitions in (DIMET)2BF4 were studied by chopped-light ac calorimetry and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurement. An anomaly due to the metal-insulator transitions has been clearly detected in ac calorimetry between 20 and 35 K. In contrast to other double-column salts (DMET)2BF4 and (DMET)2ClO4, successive metal-insulator transitions detected in transport properties are shown to be thermodynamic phase transitions. The EPR detected an anomaly only for the lowest transition around 12 K. The properties of the metal-insulator transitions are compared among the DIMET and DMET salts having the double-column structure. A frequency-dependent step in heat capacity was detected around 110 K. The step-like anomaly is attributed to a glass transition due to freezing of the intramolecular motion of the ethylene group in the ET moiety within a DIMET molecule.
