Abstract The behaviour of spin sublevel populations with time following periodic photo-excitation is ex-amined. The treatment is limited to conditions of magnetic field strength and temperature for which the spin lattice relaxation rates dominate the individual spin sublevel decay rates. The response of the system to three modes of excitation is considered: (i) continuous excitation using a time-independent intensity (ii) periodic rectangular pulse excitation and (iii) periodic waveform excitation. A convenient correspondence between the various forms of solutions is pointed out. The requirements of an experiment to determine spin-lattice relaxation rates in organic triplets at 77 K are discussed.

Abstract Polyhydroborate-based salts of lithium and sodium have attracted much recent interest as promising solid-state electrolytes for energy-related applications. A member of this family, sodium dicarba-nido-undecahydroborate Na-7,9-C2B9H12 exhibits superionic conductivity above its order-disorder phase transition temperature, ∼360 K. To investigate the dynamics of the anions and cations in this compound at the microscopic level, we have measured the 1H and 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and spin-lattice relaxation rates over the temperature range of 148–384 K. It has been found that the transition from the low-T ordered to the high-T disordered phase is accompanied by an abrupt, several-orders-of-magnitude acceleration of both the reorientational jump rate of the complex anions and the diffusive jump rate of Na+ cations. These results support the idea that reorientations of large [C2B9H12]− anions can facilitate cation diffusion and, thus, the ionic conductivity. The apparent activation energies for anion reorientations obtained from the 1H spin-lattice relaxation data are 314 meV for the ordered phase and 272 meV for the disordered phase. The activation energies for Na+ diffusive jumps derived from the 23Na spin-lattice relaxation data are 350 and 268 meV for the ordered and disordered phases, respectively.

A general discussion is given of the determination of the proton spin–lattice relaxation rates of natural products, with particular emphasis on use of the null-point method which, for the systems studied here, gives identical results with those obtained via the conventional (and relatively time consuming) computational method.
