Nuclear spin-lattice relaxation times T
1 for protons in polycrystalline (NH4)2PbCl6 were measured by the NMR pulse method from room temperature to liquid helium temperature at the resonance frequencies 9, 22, and 42 MHz. A minimum in T
1 caused by the classical reorientation motion of the NH4
+-ion was observed at about 70 K. Parameters of the reorientational motion were deduced from the T
1 data above 60 K. Additional T
1 minima were observed below 60 K. They were interpreted in terms of the temperature dependent effective tunneling splitting of the torsional ground state of the ammonium ion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
