Spin-lattice relaxation times T1ρ of protons (1H) in the rotating frame were determined in ammonium perchlorate NH4ClO4 between 556 K and 125 K. The temperature dependence of T1ρ shows two minimum values 1.5 sec at about 476 K and 0.94 sec at 238 K for an rf field H1=2.1 gauss. The origins of the minima T1ρ are attributed to the motion of oxygen atoms 17O of natural abundance (0.037%). Oxygen atoms affect T1ρ of protons in different two ways. The minimum of T1ρ at higher temperature is due to the cross relaxation between 1H and 17O spins, while that at low temperature due the the reorientation of ClO3-ions which modulates the dipolar interaction between 1H and 17O and also due to the cross relaxation between 1H and 17O. The value e2qQ⁄h=12.3 MHz was determined for 17O in ClO4-ion.
