The temperatures of the onset of partial thermal decomposition were found to depend on the identity of M. In addition, the Bloembergen\u2013Purcell\u2013Pound curves for the 1H spin-lattice relaxation time T1\u03c1 in the rotating frames of CH3CH2 and NH3, and for the 13C T1\u03c1 of CH3 and CH2 were shown to exhibit minima as a function of the inverse temperature. These results confirmed the rotational motion of 1H and 13C in the C2H5NH3 cation. Finally, the T1\u03c1 values and activation energies Ea obtained from the 1H measurements for the H\u2012Cl\u00b7\u00b7\u00b7M (M = Zn and Cd) bond in the absence of paramagnetic ions were larger than those obtained for the H\u2012Cl\u00b7\u00b7\u00b7M (M = Co and Cu) bond in the presence of paramagnetic ions. Moreover, the Ea value for 13C, which is distant from the M ions, was found to decrease upon increasing the mass of the M ion, unlike in the case of the Ea values for 1H.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules25081812","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,15]],"date-time":"2020-04-15T09:19:50Z","timestamp":1586942390000},"page":"1812","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Thermodynamic, Physical, and Structural Characteristics in Layered Hybrid Type (C2H5NH3)2MCl4 (M = 59Co, 63Cu, 65Zn, and 113Cd) Crystals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5057-4027","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ae Ran","family":"Lim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Analytical Laboratory of Advanced Ferroelectric Crystals and Department of Science Education, Jeonju University, Jeonju 55069, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"83202","DOI":"10.1088\/0953-8984\/20\/8\/083202","article-title":"Hybrid inorganic-organic materials: A new family in condensed matter physics","volume":"20","author":"Rao","year":"2008","journal-title":"J.
