Popis: A novel electron spin-reorientation transition is discovered by $^{13}\mathrm{C}$ NMR in the quasi-two-dimensional organic antiferromagnet $\ensuremath{\kappa}\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}(\mathrm{B}\mathrm{E}\mathrm{D}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{F}{)}_{2}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{u}[\mathrm{N}(\mathrm{C}\mathrm{N}{)}_{2}]\mathrm{C}\mathrm{l}$. The spin reorientation occurs as an external field is swept through the orientation of the characteristic vector of the Dzialoshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction, thus providing a precise determination of the orientation of the DM vector. Such a spin reorientation could help to characterize the DM interaction in other antiferromagnetic systems.
