κ-ET 2 Cu[N(CN) 2 ]I (ET = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) has previously been reported as both a superconductor and an insulator. Examination of each single crystal revealed that the electrical properties are affected by slight differences in the conformation of one of the ethylene groups of...
