Symmetry of the superconducting order parameter in frustrated systems determined by the spatial anisotropy of spin correlations.
We study the resonating valence bond theory of the Hubbard-Heisenberg model on the half-filled anisotropic triangular lattice. Varying the frustration changes the wave vector of maximum spin correlation in the Mott insulating phase. This, in turn, changes the symmetry of the superconducting state that occurs at the boundary of the Mott insulating phase. We propose that this physics is realized in several families of quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductors.
