The anion radical salt β′-Et2Me2P[Pd(dmit)2]2 is non-metallic at ambient pressure. An application of pressure induces a metallic behavior and the system exhibits a superconducting transition in the pressure region of 6.9–10.4 kbar with Tc = 4.0−1.8 K (onset). Under higher pressure, however, non-metallic behavior appea…
