Indirect measurements of nitrogen-14 nuclear spin-lattice relaxation times and direct proton coupling constants are presented together with carbon-13 T1 data for a series of alkyl-substituted nucleic acid bases and mixtures thereof in DMSO-d6. With the exception of the guanine NH nitrogen, which possibly experiences a decrease in the electric field gradient upon complexation with cytosine, no indications of significant changes in the electronic environment around the nitrogen nuclei were found for any combination of bases. Forsen–Hoffman spin saturation transfer experiments on the NH and NH2 protons are also presented.

Measurements of nitrogen-14 nuclear spin–lattice relaxation times and direct proton coupling constants are presented for a series of nucleosides and nucleoside bases and indole derivatives in DMSO-d6 and for a series of ε-caprolactam concentrations in CDCl3. The data were obtained through NH proton T1ρ measurements, a potentially useful alternative to direct 14N and 15N nuclear magnetic resonance for the study of e.g. NH hydrogen bonding.

Abstract Spin-spin and spin-lattice relaxation times of nuclei 69,71Ga, 27Al, 14N in anions [MClnBr4-n]-and the solvate complexes [M(CH3CN)6]3+, produced from dissolution of MCl3 and MBr3 in the mixture CH3CN + CH3NO2 (M = Ga, Al), are measured in the temperature range from -40 up to + 70 °C. It is shown that nuclear spins of 69,71Ga, 27Al relax in the anionic and cationic complexes by means of the second-kind scalar and quadrupole relaxation mechanisms (due to the relaxation of the nuclei 35,37Cl, 79,81Br, 14N). The complexes [MClnBr4-n]-and [M(CH3CN)6]3+ in the investigated solutions are inert and do not undergo exchange processes in the NMR time scale. The scalar spin coupling constants in [M(CH3CN)6]3+ are determined from the scalar contribution to the relaxation rate of 69,71Ga, 27Al, and the measured relaxation time of 14N in the solvate complex; the results are J(69Ga-14N) = 59 ± 5 Hz, J(71Ga-14N) = 74 ± 6Hz, J(27Al-14N) = 22 ± 2Hz.

Proton transient nuclear Overhauser enhancement (TnOe) and spin-lattice relaxation times (T1) have been used to evaluate the conformations of several monosaccharides and disaccharides containing (13C) and (2H) substitution. Absolute 1H–1H internuclear distances were determined by TnOe and DESERT (deuterium substitution effects on relaxation times) experiments on conformationally rigid methyl β-D-galactopyranoside and α- and β-D-xyloses, respectively. The DESERT method was extended to examine O-glycoside conformation in two blood-group disaccharides that were prepared enzymically with (13C) and (or) (2H) substitution. Preferred disaccharide conformations deduced from these distance measurements are compared to those determined from 13C–13C and 13C–1H spin coupling constants, theoretical calculations, and crystallographic studies. Keywords: TnOe, DESERT, carbohydrate conformation.
