Abstract
Results of 13C-NMR experiments on charge ordering in non-dimerized BEDT-TTF salts are discussed. It has been experimentally confirmed in $\theta$-(ET) 2RbZn(SCN) 4 that charge disproportionation already develops well above the metal-insulator transition temperature while no long-range charge order is stabilized. Dynamics of the charge fluctuations has been determined in this salt and compared with the situations in $\alpha $-(ET) 2I 3. This result seems to require a serious reconsideration of the transport properties in the metallic state. Key words. 13C-NMR, Charge disproportination.
