Abstract
We studied C=C stretching bands of $\beta ''$-(ET) 3(ReO 4)2 and $\beta $-(ET) 4M(CN) 4H 2O (M=Pt, Pd and Ni) at the low temperatures below 300 K in order to verify the inhomogeneous charge distributions. A drastic spectral change was observed for $\beta ''$-(ET) 3(ReO 4)2 at 80 K, below which the system falls into the charge ordered state. On the other hand, a continuous spectral change was observed for $\beta ''$-(ET) 4Ni(CN) 4H 2O and $\beta ''$-(ET) 4Pd(CN) 4H 2O. $\nu $ 2 for M=Ni and Pd exhibited a doublet, suggesting an inhomogeneous charge distributions. $\nu $ 2 for M=Pt did not show a peak splitting, while C=C bands for the deuterium analogue exhibited a behaviour similar to those for M=Ni. Key words. Molecular conductors - organic conductors - ET salts - vibrational spectra - structural analyses - charge ordered state - mean-field calculations-isotope effect.
