A hint of superconducting transition has been observed for the first time in a cation radical salt derived from bisethylenethio‐tetrathiafulvalene (BET‐TTF), the salt (BET‐TTF) 2 Br·3H 2 O. Here the synthesis, X‐ray structure, and physical properties of two hydrated halides of BET‐TTF that are isostructural and present stable metallic properties are described. The Figure is a perspective view of the crystal structure of (BET‐TTF) 2 Br·3H 2 O, layers of BET‐TTF radical cation alternating along the a ‐direction with polymeric anion networks.
