We report the discovery of a correlated insulator with a bulk gap at 2/3 filling in a geometrically frustrated Hubbard model that describes the low-energy physics of Mo3S7(dmit)3. This is very different from the Mott insulator expected at half-filling. We show that the insulating phase, which persists even for very weak electron-electron interactions (U), is adiabatically connected to the Haldane phase and is consistent with experiments on Mo3S7(dmit)3.
