LETTER TO THE EDITOR

We present a group theoretical analysis of several classes of organic superconductor. We predict that highly frustrated organic superconductors, such as κ-(ET)2Cu2(CN)3 (where ET is BEDT-TTF, bis(ethylene-dithio)tetrathiafulvalene) and β'-[Pd(dmit)2]2X, undergo two superconducting phase transitions, the first from the normal state to a d-wave superconductor and the second to a d+id state. We show that the monoclinic distortion of κ-(ET)2Cu(NCS)2 means that the symmetry of its superconducting order parameter is different from that of orthorhombic κ-(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br. We propose that β'' and θ phase organic superconductors have dxy+s order parameters.
