Potassium is introduced into the crystalline herringbone structure of pentacene searching for a compound showing metallic electronic transport properties and, hopefully, superconductivity at small enough temperatures. Several possible structures for stoichiometric KPentacene (1:1), K 2 Pentacene (2:1), and K 3 Pentacene (3:1) compounds are theoretically investigated. Detailed densities of states for all of them are presented. As a more prominent result, a new monoclinic structure has been stabilized for the potassium richer material that could correspond to the recently synthesized superconducting phase of K 3 Pentacene. Although energetically unfavorable, it is the only metallic candidate found to date.
