An attempt at modifying the electronic conduction mechanism by guest-host charge transfer and thermally excited molecular motion reported. Ethylenediamine was intercalated into a semiconducting layered material, titanium disulfide, and a significant increase in charge carriers was evidenced by metallic conductivity, Pauli paramagnetism, and conduction electron spin resonance. Rotational motion of the guest molecule was evidenced by the proton spin-lattice relaxation measurement. However, no anomalous behaviors were found on the electronic properties which are attributable to motion-induced modification of the electronic state.
