NMR and magnetization measurements in Li0.5MnPc (Pc=C32H16N8), recently proposed as a strongly correlated metal, are presented. Two different low-frequency dynamics are evidenced. The first one, probed by 1H nuclei, gives rise to a slowly relaxing magnetization at low temperature and is associated with the freezing of MnPc S=3/2 spins. This dynamics is similar to the one observed in pristine beta-MnPc and originates from Li-depleted chain segments. The second one, evidenced by the 7Li spin-lattice relaxation rate, is associated with the hopping of the electrons along Li-rich chains. The characteristic correlation times for the two dynamics are derived, and the role of the disorder is briefly discussed.

This dynamics is similar to the one observed in pristine beta-MnPc and originates from Li-depleted chain segments. The second one, evidenced by the 7Li spin-lattice relaxation rate, is associated with the hopping of the electrons along Li-rich chains.
