Theoretical study of systems with quarter-filled conductance band and strong electron-electron correlations propose superconductivity mediated by charge order fluctuations [1]. We present IR reflectivity of a 1/4-filled organic superconductor β"-(BEDT-TTF)2SF5CH2CF2SO3 (Tc=5 K) in the frequency range between 8 and 10000 cm-1 at temperatures down to 1.8 K. Our spectroscopic study reveals a splitting of the charge-sensitive phonons showing charge order while transport properties show metallic behavior. The narrow Drude response and its interplay with charge fluctuations, evident in an electronic band, is responsible for superconductivity, with a superconducting gap of 12 cm-1 at 1.8 K. A comparison with the isostructural metal β"-(BEDT-TTF)2SF5CHFSO3 reflects the close relation between superconductivity and charge order.
