Pulsed-field gradient NMR spectroscopy was used to study the interactions between small molecular probes and polymers bearing interacting groups. The self-diffusion coefficients of ethylene glycol and its oligomers and their methyl ester derivatives in poly(vinyl alcohol) gels were measured to study the effect of hydrogen bonding. The self-diffusion coefficients of small molecular probes containing hydroxyl, amine, and carboxylic acid groups were determined in several polymer matrices including poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(allylamine), and poly(acrylic acid) bearing lateral hydroxyl, amine, and carboxylic acid groups, respectively. The ionic interactions between the functional groups of the diffusants and of the polymers exhibited a marked effect on the diffusion of the molecular probes. For example, the reduced self-diffusion coefficients measured for a diffusant with a carboxylic acid group in a poly(allylamine) matrix were shown to be lower even though the molecular masses of the diffusants are similar.Key words: pulsed-field gradient NMR spectroscopy, self-diffusion, intermolecular interactions.

The self diffusion coefficients D of the water molecules and of sucrose have been determined by the pulsed field gradient NMR technique over a wide range of temperatures and concentrations (cmax: 70% w/w suc.). All temperature dependencies can be fitted to a Vogel- Tammann-Fulcher equation. The isothermic concentration dependence of D for the sucrose is given by a simple exponential concentration dependence

Control of pore window size is the standard approach for tuning gas selectivity in porous solids. Here, we present the first example where this is translated into a molecular porous liquid formed from organic cage molecules. Reduction of the cage window size by chemical synthesis switches the selectivity from Xe-selective to CH<sub>4</sub>-selective, which is understood using <sup>129</sup>Xe, <sup>1</sup>H, and pulsed-field gradient NMR spectroscopy.
