Abstract The 1H NMR second moment M2 and the spin-lattice relaxation time T1 are determined for pyridinium hexachlorotellurate(IV), hexachlorostannate(IV), and hexabromostannate(IV) at various temperatures above ca. 140 K. The phase transition temperatures already reported from halogen NQR experiments are determined as 272, 331, and 285 K, respectively, by differential thermal analysis (DTA). The DTA as well as differential scanning calorimetry measurements show that the above phase transitions are of second-order. For pyridinium hexachlorotellurate(IV) and hexa-bromostannate(I V), a sharp 1H T1 dip was observed at the transition temperature. This is interpreted in terms of a phenomenon related to the critical fluctuation of an order parameter. From the measurements of 1H M2, 60° two-site jumps (60° flips) around the pseudo C6 axis of the cation are suggested to occur in the high temperature phases of the complexes. Modulation of X...1H (X = CI, Br) magnetic dipolar interactions due to the reorientational motion of the complex anions is considered as a possible relaxation mechanism in the high temperature phases.

AbstractMeasurements of the 1H spin-lattice relaxation time T1, the linewidth parameter T*2the second moment of 1H NMR absorption, differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry were performed on methylammonium tetrabromozincate(II) crystals from 58 to above 500 K. A solid-solid phase transition was located at 456 K. In the room temperature phase, 120° reorientational jumps of CH3 and NH3+ groups in the cation about its C -N bond axis were detected. In the high-temperature phase, the cations undergo overall reorientation as well as translational self-diffusion. The activation energy for the cationic self-diffusion was evaluated to be 18 kJ mol-1 .

Abstract The 1H spin-lattice relaxation time, linewidth, second moment of 1H NMR absorption, differen-tial thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry of methylammonium tetrabromocado-mate(II) crystals were studied. A new solid phase was found between 482 K and the melting point (493 K). The 1H NMR measurements revealed the presence of overall reorientation of methyl-ammonium cations in this phase. In the room temperature phase, 120° reorientational jumps of the CH3 and NH3+ groups were detected.

Abstract K2SeCl6 undergoes structural phase transitions of first order at 35 K, 65 K, and 79 K. The temperature dependence of the 35Cl NQR spin-lattice relaxation time suggests that the phase transitions at 65 K and 79 K are displacive ones associated with a resonant soft mode. The presence of a precursor cluster is suggested by the temperature dependence of the signal intensity above 79 K.


The 31 P n. m. r. spectrum and spin–lattice relaxation time in polycrystalline P 4 S 3 have been measured between 77 and 500 K in the range 7 to 25 MHz. In phase II the 31 P n. m. r. spectra and second moments are dominated by the anisotropic chemical shift interactions. Close to the first-order phase transition at 314 K the spectra are narrowed by reorientation of the molecules about their triad axes. This motion also generates anisotropicshift spin-lattice relaxation notable for its absence of frequency dependence. The activation energy of this motion was found to be 34 kJ mol -1 . Nuclear dipolar interactions play only a minor role. In phase 1 the molecules exhibit rapid quasi-isotropic reorientation and diffusion. The anisotropic broadening interactions are averaged out and an AB 3 high-resolution spectrum of a doublet and quartet are resolved at 420 K, well below the melting point, 446 K. In this phase the spin–rotation interaction relaxation mechanism becomes dominant. Taking advantage of the remarkable motional narrowing in this compound we report the first solid-state n. m. r. J spectrum. This spectrum, recorded at 410 K, allowed the J coupling between apical and basal nuclei in solid P 4 S 3 to be measured accurately, 70.4 ± 0.5 Hz.

Phase transitions and incommensurability in K2SbF5 have been studied by means of 123Sb NQR spectra and spin-lattice relaxation measurements. The phase transitions occur at 117, 135 and 260 K. The line shape and temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation time T1 at 135 to 260 K are characteristic for an incommensurate state with a plane wave modulation regime. At 117 to 135 K a distinct fine structure of the NQR spectra has been observed. The X-ray diffraction pattern of this phase is interpreted as a coexistence of two modulation waves along the a and b axis with wave vectors (a*/6 + b*/6) and (a*/2 + b*/2), respectively. The best interpretation that fits our NQR data is a coexistence of two domains, the structures of which are modulated with different periods in such a manner that each domain exhibits only one of the aforementioned modulation waves. Redistribution of line intensities with the variation of temperature shows that one of the domains becomes energetically preferable on cooling and is transformed into the low temperature phase at 117 K. The 123SbNQR measurements in K2SbF5 show unusually short values of T1, which become close to the spin-spin relaxation time T2 with increasing temperature. - Pacs: 61.44.Fw, 64.60, 64.70, 64.70.Rh, 76.60

The phase transition behaviour of cycloheptene has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, proton spin-lattice relaxation, and vibrational spectroscopy (infrared and Raman). Two solid–solid phase transitions were observed, at 154 and 210 K, with transition enthalpies and entropies of 5.28 and 0.71 kJ mol−1 and 34.3 and 3.4 JK−1, respectively. Cycloheptene melted at 217 K with an entropy of melting of 4.5 JK−1 mol−1. The bands in the vibrational spectra of the two high temperature phases were broad and featureless, characteristic of highly disordered phases. The presence of other conformers, in addition to the chair form, was indicated from bands in the spectra. The ring inversion mode was highly phase dependent and exhibited soft mode type behaviour prior to the transition from the low temperature phase. The low frequency Raman spectra (external modes) of these phases indicated that the molecules are undergoing isotropic reorientation. In the low temperature phase, the vibrational bands were narrow; the splitting of the fundamentals into two components and the presence of nine external modes are consistent with unit cell symmetry of either C2 or Cs with two molecules per primitive unit cell. A glassy state can be produced from the intermediate phase and the vibrational spectra were very similar to those of the high temperature phases, indicating that static disorder was present. The barriers to reorientation, as obtained from proton spin-lattice relaxation measurements, are 9.0 kJ mol−1 in both the high temperature phases, and 15.4 kJ mol−1 in the low temperature, ordered phase. Keywords: cycloheptene, phase transition, differential scanning calorimetry, NMR, vibrational spectroscopy.

Temperature-dependent proton NMR relaxation time measurements have been performed at 60 MHz in order to study the NH4+ dynamics in ferroelectric NH4H(ClH2CCOO)2 and mixed Rbx(NH4)1-x(ClH2CCOO)2, where x = 0.15. The data indicate that the dominant relaxation mechanism for the NMR spin-lattice relaxation time T 1 in both crystals involves simultaneous NH4 group reorientation about their C2 and C3 symmetry axis in the paraelectric phase. Details of the NH4+reorientation have been inferred from analysis of temperature dependence of T1 assuming the Watton model. The activation parameters of the motionshave been determined.It has been found that the substitution of Rb does not change the activation parameters of the NH4 group dynamics.

Abstract The temperature dependence of the chlorine quadrupole spin-lattice relaxation time T1Q was observed for one of the three 35Cl NQR lines of (pyH)2 MCl6(M = Sn, Pb, Te). Each T1Q curve can be devided into three temperature regions. In the low-and high-temperature regions, T1Q is dominantly determined by the relaxation mechanism due to the libration and reorientation of [MCl6]2- , respectively. In the intermediate temperature region, T1Q results from the modulation of the electric field gradient by the motion of the neighboring pyridinium cations. This way the reorientational motion of the cation between potential wells with nonequivalent depths is precisely characterized.

Abstract The 1H-NMR spin-lattice relaxation time and lineshape in solid 2-, 3-, and 4-methyl-piperidine, in 2-and N-methyl-piperazine, and in NN′-diinethyl-piperazine has been measured from low temperatures to the melting point. For all cases, the experimental data can be described by classical rotation of the methyl group. Activation energies governing this motion are between 9 and 14 kJ/mole. Second moments are reduced from about 25 G2 to 17 G2. No further line-narrowing was observed.

The spin–lattice relaxation time of the 1,2-dichloroethane molecule has been determined in 6 different nonmagnetic or weakly magnetic solvents at 20 °C, viz: deuterated benzene, carbon disulfide, deuterated 1,2-dichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, and deuterated chloroform. From the experimental results the relaxation rate in infinitely dilute solution, the so called intramolecular relaxation rate, was determined for each solvent. It was found that the observed intramolecular relaxation rate could be successfully interpreted as arising solely from a dipole–dipole relaxation mechanism. It was further found that the individual differences in the value of the intramolecular spin–lattice relaxation rate of the 1,2-dichloroethane molecule in different solvents could be accounted for in terms of weak complex formation between the solute and solvent molecules.
