The family of layered organic conductors, θ-(BEDT-TTF)2MM′(SCN)4, are anisotropic triangular-lattice systems with quarter-filled bands and exhibit charge order instability or glassy charge freezing. We have investigated the compound with MM′ = TlCo, which was suggested to show a charge order by transport studies, through 13C NMR spectroscopy. The profiles of NMR spectra and the nuclear spin–lattice relaxation rate provide evidence for a charge order with a charge disproportionation ratio of \(7:1\) or larger. The nuclear spin–spin relaxation rate, 1/T2, keeps increasing as the charge-ordering temperature is approached from above, indicating an increase in the spectral weight of fluctuations on the order of kHz or their slowing down toward the kHz range. This behavior, however, differs from that of the charge order/glass systems, MM′ = RbZn, and CsZn salts, which show a peak in 1/T2 with decreasing temperature, signifying a slowing down of charge fluctuations to below the kHz range. The insufficient slowing down for MM′ = TlCo demonstrates the poor glass-forming ability suggested by a previous transport study from the viewpoint of the dynamics.
