Abstract The temperature dependence of the chlorine NQR frequency and spin-lattice relaxation rate indicate a structural phase transformation in (NH4)2PbCl6 at 80 K similar to that observed in (NH4)2TeCl6 at 85 K. Both transitions are characterized by a discontinuity of the temperature derivative of the NQR frequency shift and by a cusp in the NQR spin-lattice relaxation rate, but no splitting of the NQR line is observed below Tc. These observations point towards a transition that leaves the chlorine sites equivalent, such as a small angle rotation of the MXg2-6octahedra about their threefold axis. Supplementary 1H-NMR measurements have been performed to investigate the direct influence of NH4+ motion on the Cl-NQR. The phase transitions in mixed (NH4: K)2PbCl6 crystals have also been studied.
