A molecular Mott insulator kappa-(ET)(2)B(CN)(4) [ET = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene] with a distorted triangular lattice exhibits a quantum disordered state with gapped spin excitation in the ground state. C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetization, and magnetic torque measurements reveal that magnetic field suppresses valence bond order and induces long-range magnetic order above a critical field similar to 8 T. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 shows persistent evolution of antiferromagnetic correlation above the transition temperature, highlighting a quantum spin liquid state with fractional excitations. The field-induced transition as observed in the spin-Peierls phase suggests that the valence bond order transition is driven through renormalized one-dimensionality and spin-lattice coupling.
