Investigations of temperature dependence of a nuclear quadrupole spinlattice relaxation time of 79 Βr nuclei in ferroelectric (CH3) 4 NCdΒr3 are ρre-sented. It is shown that in paraelectric phase iii the vicinity of phase transition temperature relaxation process is determined h ey critical fluctuations of electric field gradient. In ferroelectric plase relaxation is related to three dicherent mechanisms, namely: lattice vibrations, CH3--group reorientations and TMA cation motions. According to the results of measurements it is concluded that the phase transition is connected with ordering of TMA cations.

Among them (CH 3)4NMnCl3 (TMMC) crystal has been widely studied as quasi-one-dimensional magnetic system with infinite chains of -Mn-C13-Mn-Cl3-separated by tetramethylammonium cations (TMA) [1,2]. Similarly as in the case of TMMC isomorphous crystals of (CH 3 )4 NCdC13 (TMCC) and (CH3) 4 ΝΝiCl3 (TMNC) exhibit structural phase transitions from hexagonal high-temperature phase to monoclinic low-temperature phase [3,4]. It was shown that in higl-temperature phase of these crystals TMA cations are disordered [2, 5] and order-disorder phase transitions are related to the ordering of TMA cations and small shifts of the metal-halogen chains [4]. TMCB crystal is another member of this family and undergoes a stuctural phase transition of the first order from hexagonal room temperature phase (space group: P6 3 /m) to another hexagonal phase (space group P61) and disordered states of TMA cations in paraelectric and ordered in ferroelectric phase are found in it [6][7][8]. The low-temperature phase exhibits ferroelectric properties along the c-axis. Spontaneous polarization is equal to 1.2 x 10 -3 C/m2 at 125 K [9]. NMR investigations of molecular dynamics in (357)
