The crystal structure and physical properties of the organic conductor small alpha-small kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Hg(SCN)3 are described, including a detailed description of its optical properties. The electronic behavior is dominated by a sharp metal-to-insulator transition at T = 176 K which is due to a first-order structural phase transition. The optical properties in the metallic regime are a superposition of those of the small alpha- and small kappa-phases, while in the insulating state the spectra become more anisotropic in the conducting plane, and the features of the two layers cannot be distinguished.
