32. The cooling rate is a very important factor when determining the transport properties of Bechgaard-Fabre salts and in general of molecular organic materials. In the case of (TMTSF) 2 ClO4 single crystals the electrical conductivity increases below 24 K with the onset of anion-ordering when slowly cooled (about 0.1 K min-1) and superconductivity appears at 1.2 K upon further cooling (R state). However, for rapid cooling (>50 K min-1) the crystals exhibit a metal-insulator transition below 6 K (Q state). For details see, e.g., T. Takahashi, D. Jérome, and K. Bechgaard, J. Phys.

39. The analysis of the S 2p and O 1s lines shows that the low-temperature spectra (116 K) are shifted about 0.1 eV toward higher binding energies as compared to the higher-temperature spectra (207 K). However, the uncertainty in the peak position is larger for both lines as compared to the Re 4f lines since they are broader and in the case of S 2p they have two signals arising from neutral and charged TMTTF. A detailed discussion on the deconvolution of S 2p lines from TMTTF-based and dithiolene-based materials can be found in pp. 72-73 of Ref. and in I. Malfant, K. Rivasseau, J. Fraxedas, Ch. Faulmann, D. de Caro, L. Valade, L. Kaboub, Jean-Marc Fabre, and F. Senocq, J. Am. Chem. Soc. JACSAT 0002-7863 128, 5612 (2006).
