Abstract
Temperature dependence of EPR spectrum of $\beta $ ?-(BEDT-TTF) 4  NH 4  [ Cr (C 2O 4)3] ${\cdot} $DMF single crystals, which consists of two separate lines characterizing magnetic features of BEDT-TTF and Cr 3+ ions, was studied within the range 1.5-300 K. It was found that reconstruction of the EPR spectrum occurs under decrease of the temperature down to ?  $\approx $ 20 ?. The reconstruction consists in change of Lorentzian shape of the ??DT-TTF line to Gaussian one and in decrease of the effective magnetic moment of ?r 3+ ions. Analysis of temperature and orientation dependencies of parameters of the EPR spectra allows one to suppose that localization of conduction electrons within regions with dimensions close to the size of individual ??DT-TTF molecules occurs at ?  $\approx $ 20 ?. Exchange interactions between ?r 3+ ions change towards antiferromagnetic spin correlations as well. Key words. 2D organic conductors, ${\beta} ''$-(BEDT-TTF) 4  NH 4  [ Cr (C 2O 4)3] ${\cdot} $DMF, ESR, electron localization.
