Abstract
LF-Muon Spin Relaxation data are reported for the organometallic compo unds Pb(C6H5)(4), (C6H6)Cr(CO)(3) and (C5H5)(2)Ru. In each case the ch ange in relaxation rate with temperature shows a peak analogous to the T-1 minimum in NMR. The activation parameters were calculated, and th e mechanism of muon spin relaxation in the case of (C6H6)Cr(CO)(3) is shown to be the reorientation motion of the benzene ring.
