Abstract
13C-NMR measurements have been carried out on the quasi two-dimensional organic conductor, ${\alpha} $-(BEDT-TTF) 2I 3. We measured the angular dependence of 13C-NMR spectrum at several temperatures above metal-insulator transition temperature, 135 K (= $T_{\rm MI,})$. We found that charge (spin) disproportionation already exists in the metallic state and gradually develops as temperature approaches to $T_{\rm MI}$. Key words. 13C-NMR, Charge disproportination.
