Using partially deuterized BEDT-TTF molecules, we performed 13 C-NMR study of a series of partially deuterized K-(BEDT-TTF) 2 Cu[N(CN) 2 ]Br salts, where BEDT-TTF is bis-(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene. We synthesized partially deuterized BEDT-TTF molecules 13 C-enriched on only one side of the central carbon sites. The substitution of one side of the central carbon avoid the Pake doublet and we can estimate the density of states from the Knight-shift and the spin-lattice relaxation rate. The reduced mass effect predicted from the specific heat measurement near the SC-AF1 boundary was not observed in the 13 C- NMR measurement but the phase separation behavior was observed.
