Abstract
Physical properties of an organic conductor, $\beta
\prime $ -(BEDT-TTF) 2IBrCl, were characterized under ambient and extremely high pressures. Semiconducting behavior with activation energy, Ea=0.11eV, and antiferromagnetic transition with TN=19.5K were uncovered in the present work. In addition, we have found that this salt showed a sign of superconductivity at 8.0GPa in common with the case of the $\beta
\prime $-(BEDT-TTF) 2ICl 2, which is the highest- Tc superconductor among organics. Key words. Organic superconductor, magnetic susceptibility, antiferromagntic transition, high pressure.
