Abstract It is shown that in almost all nitrile carbon-atoms T1 depends first of all on the inter-and/or intramolecular dipol-dipol-relaxation mechanism. Only acetonitrile, as is already known, shows a remarkable dependence on the spin-rotation-relaxation mechanism. This influence is strongly decreasing with an increasing number of atoms, specially hydrogen atoms, in the molecule. The significance of the correlation time r is discussed extensively and the experimental results are verified by calculation of T1 using the viscosity and the inertial moments as parameters.

The spin–lattice relaxation times T1 of 1H, 19F, and 31P nuclei were measured in gaseous samples of BF3, CHF3, CH3F, PH3, and NH3 at room temperature for densities from 0.03 to 10 amagat. In several cases the behavior of T1 at the lowest densities snowed deviations from the linear variation characteristic of the extreme narrowing region. The spin–rotation interaction provides the dominant relaxation mechanism in all cases. The data are analyzed on the basis of the assumption that the collision modulated spin–rotation interaction may be described by a single correlation function which is a simple exponential function of time. Values of an effective spin–rotation constant and a cross section for molecular reorientation are obtained for each gas. The results obtained are compared with those available from other types of experiments. This comparison indicates that the theory for spin–lattice relaxation in dilute gases of symmetric top molecules needs to be carefully reassessed.

The results of a variable temperature study of the 2H and 13C spin–lattice relaxation times in neopentane-d12 are reported. along with those for the 13C's in neopentane at a single temperature. Orientational and angular momentum correlation times derived from these T1's exhibit the following: (i) τ2 is continuous through the melting point with an activation energy of 0.98 kcal/mol, (ii) τJ is more or less constant at 0.33 ± 0.03 ps within 40 K of either side of the melting point, and (iii) they do not conform to the theoretical relationships of extended diffusion, Fokker–Planck, or Langevin theories. The spin–rotation coupling constants are calculated to be −0.69 kHz for neopentane and −0.52 kHz for neopentane-d12

Spin–lattice relaxation times of 1H, D, and 199Hg have been measured between 234 and 333 K in liquid dimethylmercury and its isotopic modifications. These measurements have allowed the relaxation mechanisms to be separated. It was found that the spin–rotation interaction is the dominating mechanism for the 199Hg relaxation at 14.1 kG even at low temperatures. We have estimated the spin–rotation constants, [Formula: see text] along with the chemical shift anisotropy [Formula: see text]It is concluded that reorientation about the symmetry axis is not well described by molecular diffusion. Reorientation of the methyl group about its symmetry axis is found to be approximately forty times faster than the reorientation about the perpendicular axis.

The spin–lattice relaxation time T1 of the 19F nuclei was measured in gaseous samples of CF4, SiF4, GeF4, and SF6 at room temperature for densities from 0.015 to 20 amagat. In each case T1 was observed to pass through a minimum for some density less than 0.50 amagat. In addition, T1 was measured in the extreme narrowing region for SF6 at 238, 265, 293, 313, and 349.5 K.. The spin–rotation interaction provides the dominant relaxation mechanism in all cases. The data are analyzed on the basis of the assumption that the collision modulated spin–rotation interaction may be described by a single correlation function which is a simple exponential function of time. Values of an effective spin–rotation constant and a cross section for molecular reorientation are obtained for each gas. Assuming the validity of the model used to analyze the relaxation data, the combination of nuclear magnetic relaxation results with molecular beam measurements yields more accurate values of the anisotropic spin–rotation constant Cd than have been previously available.
