The order–disorder behaviour of 1-chloroadamantane (1-C10H15Cl) has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, and variable-temperature vibrational and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The factor group splittings in the vibrational spectra are in accord with the known crystal structures of the two phases. The 13C spin-lattice relaxation times and dipolar dephasing measurements have been analysed to give the barriers to rotation in both phases and to determine the nature of the rotations in each phase. In the ordered phase, the motion is limited to rotation about the molecular axis. In the disordered phase, additional motions occur about axes through the tertiary carbon atoms.

Deuterium nmr spin–lattice relaxation times have been measured for dilute solutions of adamantane-d16 in CH2I2, CHBr3, CCl4, CHCl3, and CH2Cl2. The reorientation correlation times, τ2, calculated from the experimental data are used to calculate τJ, the angular momentum correlation times, assuming both the J-diffusion and Hubbard relations. The derived τJ values suggest that adamantane executes small step diffusion in CH2I2 and CHBr3, and large step diffusion in CCl4, CHCl3, and CH2Cl2. The calculated τJ values do not appear to be related to the mean times between collisions calculated using a hard sphere model. Both variable solvent and variable temperature experiments indicate 1 ps/cP for the viscosity dependence of the adamantane reorientation time, about 1/36th the value predicted using the familiar Stokes–Einstein equation.Carbon-13 and 1H nmr T1 data indicate that reorientation of hexamethylenetetramine in H2O (28 ps/cP), CHCl3 (27 ps/cP), and CHBr3 (18 ps/cP) is severely hindered because of inter-molecular hydrogen bonding.

Carbon-13 N.M.R. spectra of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) have been measured between 407 and 461 K. Proton-decoupled 13C N.M.R. spectra of solid Tris between 407 K and its melting point are relatively sharp (v� < 30 Hz) indicating rapid overall molecular reorientation in this temperature range. It was not possible to detect a 13C N.M.R, signal for Tris below 407 K. The observed 13C N.M.R. spin-lattice relaxation times appear continuous across the solid ↔ liquid phase transition. From the temperature dependence of T1, a rotational activation energy of 51.6 � 6 kJ mol-1 is calculated, which indicates that the molecules must expend considerable energy in reorienting. The N.M.R. results are discussed in relation to previous differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction data which indicate that Tris undergoes a solid ↔ solid transition at 407 K.

13C NMR spectra of sixteen lupane and 19β,28-epoxy-18α-oleanane triterpenoids I-XVI were measured and a complete structural assignment of chemical shifts was made. For most compounds also the carbon spin-lattice relaxation times T1 were obtained. Characteristic differences in chemical shifts of some carbon atom signals were found between 2α-methyl-3-oxo and 2α-methyl-1-oxo derivatives II, V and VIII with chair conformation of the ring A on the one hand and their 2β-isomers III, VI and IX (boat form) on the other. Using these 2-methyl ketones as models, the chair-boat population in allobetulone (I), 3-oxo-28-lupanenitrile (IV) and 1-oxo derivative VII was determined. The results agree well with the data obtained by other physical methods.

The temperature dependence of the 15N and 133Cs NMR spin-lattice relaxation times, the 15N spin-spin relaxation time, and the 15N and 133Cs spectra of CsNO2 was observed in the plastic phase (209.2 < T < 673 K (m. p.)) and the low-temperature phase (Phase II). In Phase II we found the NO-2 180°-flip, which could be attributed to the anomalous increase of the heat capacity curve, and determined the activation energy of this motion to be 8.7-11.7 kJ mol-1. The 15N and 133Cs spectra in this phase are inconsistent with the reported crystal structure R3̅m and can be explained by lower crystal symmetry. In the plastic phase we detected a new anionic motion with 11 kJ mol-1 , an isotropic NO-2 reorientation with 8.5-9 kJ mol-1, and ionic self-diffusion with 47 kJ mol-1. The presence of ionic self-diffusion was confirmed by measuring the electrical conductivity.

Abstract Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements have been made on natural rubber to examine how frequency, temperature, and crystallinity affect the nuclear relaxation. Moecular motions were studied by observing NMR linewidths and spin-lattice relaxation times at temperatures between −100° and 100° C, and at radio frequencies between 2 and 60 Mc. The effect of crystallinity was seen in measurements on stark rubber. The relation between frequency and temperature in the spin-lattice relaxation process is examined in terms of the Arrhenius equation and the WLF expression. The importance of using frequency as a variable in NMR studies of molecular motion is stressed.

Abstract Molecular motions in sulfur-vulcanized NR are investigated by solid state 13C NMR relaxation techniques. Since the high-resolution spectra of crosslinked samples exhibit overlapping in the aliphatic region, a combined application of variable temperature spin-lattice relaxation measurements and the computer simulation of the overlapped spectral region is used in order to detect resonance signals. Motional restrictions introduced by crosslinks are investigated from the temperature dependence of nT1 relaxation times for individual carbons. The V-curves for all polyisoprene signals and for the detectable signals arising from the network units exhibit a similar general trend with increased curing time: curve broadening, shift of the minima to higher temperatures, and increase of the T1 min values. All the backbone carbons show quantitatively similar effects of vulcanization on the spin-lattice relaxation. At shorter curing times, motional restrictions for the methyl side group are more pronounced compared to the main-chain carbons. The experimental data suggest that the isotropic motion is strongly affected by the crosslinking. Librational motion is less affected, while the change in rotational motion has no significant influence on the relaxation curve. Although experimental data cover a relatively narrow temperature range, not sufficiently wide for a more accurate quantitative analysis, the results indicate that concepts of plural correlation times and a distribution of correlation times are applicable.

AbstractThe main goal of our novel NMR experiments on confined liquids was to determine the effects of pressure on the dynamics of liquids in the surface layer by using the twostate, fast exchange model and compare them to the pressure effects observed for bulk liquids. With this goal in mind, the deuteron NMR spin-lattice relaxation times, T1, in liquid pyridine-d5, nitrobenzene-d5, and methylcyclohexape-d confined to sol-gel porous silica glasses with pore radii in the range from 18Å to 49˚A were measured as a function of pressure up to 5 kbar at 300 K. In another set of high resolution natural abundance 13C NMR experiments, the 13C relaxation behavior of each carbon in 2- ethylhexyl benzoate model lubricant was measured as a function of pressure in porous silica glasses. In fact, the described experimental approach which allows investigation of the effects of pressure on the dynamic behavior of surface-layer liquids, may provide a new tool in studies of model liquid lubricants at extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. In addition selected results of a recent study of acetonitrile-d3 are reviewed. The 2H and 14N spin-lattice relaxation times of acetonitrile-d3 in porous silica glasses were measured in order to study the confinement effects on the anisotropic reorientation characterized by rotational diffusion constants, D⊥ and D‖, of this symmetric-top molecule.

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

The conformational equilibrium in [13C-1-methyl]-cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane has been assessed by (a) direct integration of signals due to equatorial and axial methyl carbons in the 13C nmr spectrum at 172 K and (b) by measurement of the 13C chemical shifts of C-1 and C-4 in the spectrum at 300 K. It is concluded that a 13C isotope effect on the position of the degenerate equilibrium in cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane is either nonexistent, or is too small to be detected by methods of analyses employed. The 13C nmr data incidental to the study (chemical shifts, coupling constants, spin–lattice relaxation times, nuclear Overhauser enhancements, and 1-bond isotope shifts) are recorded for the title compound and its trans-isomer.

Abstract The dynamics of water molecules intercalated in D2O saturated synthetic and natural smectites, and a synthetic Na-fluormica were studied by measurements of solid state 2H NMR spectra and spin-lattice relaxation times at 150 - 370 K. The obtained results could be explained by the 2-site flip, the C2 rotation and the isotropic rotation of the D2O molecules in smectites. In fluormica, the isotropic motion was undetectable, but the axial rotation of the hydration sphere as a whole was observed. The activation energies and correlation times of the C2 rotation were almost independent of the interlayer cations but depended on the character of clay-layers.
