Abstract
Heat-capacity and entropy changes at the metal-insulator transitions have been measured on single crystals. The 130-K transition is related to a disordering of the and chains at the unit cell level. pairing occurs in this phase but without any long-range order of the bonds. It is shown from both magnetic-susceptibility and specific-heat data that for the 150-K transition, the electronic contribution seems to be of the same order of magnitude as the lattice contribution.
