The role played by lattice degrees of freedom for the Mott MI transition and the Mott criticality in a variety of materials are current topics under debate. In this context, molecular conductors of the kappa-(BEDT-TTF)(2)X type constitute a class of materials for unraveling several aspects of the Mott physics. In this review, we present a synopsis of literature results with focus on recent expansivity measurements probing the Mott MI transition in this class of materials. Progress in the description of the Mott critical behavior is also addressed.1-27engMott insulatorsMott criticalityLattice effectsResenha10.1088/0953-8984/27/5/053203WOS:000348494300007Acesso abertoWOS000348494300007.pdf
