Abstract
A novel mechanism of superconductivity is suggested in materials with variable valence. The pairing of the conduction electrons is caused by their interaction with the virtual excitations of the dynamical short-range order, excitations describing the state of the ion subsystem, which exhibit a dual valence. An evaluation of the coupling constant of the electrons with these excitations λcon and of the transition temperature to the superconducting state Tc showed that λcon ∿ 100, Tc ∿ 100 K.
