Zusammenfassung:Within the framework of the valence bond/Hartree–Fock (VB/HF) formalism, [Castet et al., J. Phys. I (France) 6, 583 (1996); L. Ducasse et al., Synth. Metals 85, 1627 (1997); F. Castet et al., Chem. Phys. 232, 37 (1998); Synth. Metals 103, 1799 (1999)] anion-cation induction interactions are evaluated in organic superconductors derived from the Bechgaard salts. The calculation scheme is based on an extension of the VB/HF model, so as to incorporate the effect of the distinct anion polarization states in the calculation of the VB Hamiltonian matrix elements. The induction mechanism involves a charge displacement on the counteranions in the electrostatic field of adjacent positively charged organic molecules. Anion-cation interactions are calculated for the β-BEDTTTF2I3 structure [A. J. Schultz et al., J. Am. Chem Soc. 108, 7853 (1986)], which involves highly polarizable anions.
