Messung kernmagnetischer Relaxationszeiten in Hochauflösung mittels schneller adiabatischer Passagen
Abstract The nuclear magnetic relaxation times T1 and T2 may be determined by observing the relaxation that follows after a stop of an adiabatic fast passage at different points of the resonance signal. High resolution measurements are possible with external proton stabilization during the relaxation process if the chemical shifts are larger than 1 ppm and the relaxation times are longer than 1 sec. If no high resolution is required the lower limit is 0.2 seconds. Relaxation measurements are possible using conventional NMR-spectrometers without additional equipment. Since the signal to noise ratio is favourable, rather dilute solutions may be investigated. Relaxation measurements on benzene, on 4 different protons of 4-dimethylamino-benzaldehyde and on polyethylene oxide in solution are reported.
