In order to investigate the electronic state of the metallic (DMe-DCNQ
I)(2)Cu, we prepared isotope-enriched DMe-DCNQI molecules where each s
ite of =N-CN was substituted by C-13 and N-15 and performed C-13 and N
-15-NMR measurements. Using the spectra of (DMe-DCNQI)(2)LI with no ma
gnetic contribution from metal ion as reference, we succeeded in separ
ating the two contributions to the Knight shift; the DCNQI pi part and
the Cu ion part, which could be probed through the coordinated N atom
.
