The molecular dynamics in solution for a series of cyclic and bicyclic hydrocarbon derivatives has been investigated by C-13 pulsed Fourier Transform nuclear magnetic resonance spin–lattice relaxation experiments. Molecular motion has been analysed in terms of an anisotropic rotational diffusion model, and an attempt has been made to assess the effects of structure on the observed rotational diffusion constants. Errors in the diffusion constants are discussed, and some of the other problems inherent in the use of these parameters to obtain structural information are outlined.

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.

Electron spin relaxation times of the irradiated amino acids acetyl valine, sarcosine, betaine, and glycine have been measured at 4.2 °K with two different methods. From the exponential decrease of signals due to saturation after rapid adjustment of the ESR spectrometer on resonance, the following spin-lattice relaxation times have been measured: acetyl valine T1= 0.2 sec, sarcosine T1=0.14 sec, betaine T1=0.07 sec, glycine T1 ∼ 0.3 sec. By the PORTIS saturation method the product T1 T2 was measured, and, T1 being known, the following spin-spin relaxation times T2 have been obtained: acetyl valine 2.1.10-9sec, sarcosine 1.10-9sec, betaine 9.10-10sec. All measured amino acids show the saturation behaviour of substances with “inhomogeneous” line broadening.
