Popis: A phase transition starting at 84 K and indicated by a marked color change of the sample has been found in the organic insulator tetrathiafulvalene-chloranil. Optical, infrared, and Raman measurements indicate that this is a reversible transition from a nominally neutral (N) solid to a nominally ionic (I) salt. Surprisingly, the N-I transition is not first order, but occurs over a broad temperature region (\ensuremath{\sim}30 K), in which there is a coexistence of N and I molecules.
