We show that the anisotropy of the effective spin model for the dimer Mott insulator phase of κ-ðBEDT-TTFÞ 2 X salts is dramatically different from that of the underlying tight-binding model. Intradimer quantum interference results in a model of coupled spin chains, where frustrated interchain interactions suppress long-range magnetic order. Thus, we argue, the "spin liquid" phase observed in some of these materials is a remnant of the Tomonaga-Luttinger physics of a single chain. This is consistent with previous experiments and resolves some outstanding puzzles. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.119.087204 Layered organic charge transfer salts show a wide range of exotic physics due to strong electronic correlations and geometrical frustration [1]. This includes unconventional superconductivity, incoherent metallic transport, multiferroicity, and antiferromagnetism. However, the putative spin liquid states in κ-ðBEDT-TTFÞ 2 Cu 2 ðCNÞ 3 [2], κ-ðBEDT-TTFÞ 2 Ag 2 ðCNÞ 3 [3] (henceforth, CuCN and AgCN, respectively), and β'-EtMe 3 Sb½PdðdmitÞ 2 2 [4] are, perhaps, the least understood of these.CuCN is usually discussed in terms of the nearly triangular Heisenberg model [1,5]. Here, we demonstrate that the theoretical arguments that lead to this model are fallacious. They fail to account for quantum interference within the ðBEDT-TTFÞ 2 dimer. We derive the correct low-energy model including these effects and show that it leads to an anisotropic triangular lattice in the quasi-onedimensional (Q1D) regime, J 1 > J 2 , Fig. 1(c). Thus, the spin model for the Mott dimer insulating phases of the organic charge transfer salts are remarkably similar to that describing Cs 2 CuBr 4 and Cs 2 CuCl 4 [6], where deconfined spinons have been observed [5,7]. Our results provide natural explanations for several previously puzzling experiments on the organics.Electronic structure calculations demonstrate that a single molecular orbital contributes to the low-energy process in the κ-ðBEDT-TTFÞ 2 X salts [1,[8][9][10], and that the band structure is described by the tight-binding "monomer model" sketched in Fig. 1(a) Fig. 1(a)], and ½i; j implies a pair of dimers such as tetramer 2.Kino and Fukuyama (KF) showed that for large enough U m an insulating phase emerges [8]. They argued that this could be understood as a dimer Mott insulator: if one integrates out the bonding combination of molecular orbitals, this leaves an effective half-filled model containing only the antibonding combination of molecular orbitals,
