30. Strictly speaking, the linear relationship cannot be applied straightforwardly to the estimation of site charge of charge-rich sites because a dipole-dipole interaction occurs between the phonon modes of charge-rich sites. However, the perturbation of the frequency by this dipole-dipole interaction is very small. This situation is similar to the case of the ν 2 mode, in which the frequency is perturbed not only by site charge but also by weak electron-molecular-vibration interaction.

34. The linewidth of the ν 2 3 mode involves the effect of the hidden ν 2 2 mode. It is therefore inappropriate to compare the linewidths of the ν 2 3 of different compounds since the separation between ν 2 2 and ν 2 3 differs slightly between α - (ET) 2 I 3 and α - (ET) 2 NH 4 Hg (SCN) 4.

42. Similar results were reported by Merino They calculated the dynamical charge susceptibility and charge correlation function using a square lattice model. The collective mode which corresponds to a checkerboard CO is very softened, when the Coulomb interaction is close to a critical value. J. Merino, A. Greco, R. H. McKenzie, and M. Calandra, Phys.

47. As to the lattice modes, this compound involves 33 optical phonons which are classified into 3 A g + 12 A u translational modes and 15 A g + 3 A u librational modes, when the space group is P 1 ̄. The A g mode is Raman active and the A u mode is infrared active. In the CO state, however, the selection rule is broken, and all of the lattice modes are detectable in both infrared and Raman spectra.

54. The Raman spectrum was measured with the polarization of E || b on the (001) crystal face using α - (C 13 -ET) 2 I 3, as the spectrum of metallic phase is very different from that of CO phase in this condition.
