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.

The dynamics of intercalated water molecules in Li-saponite was studied by measurement of solid state 2H and 7Li NMR spectra and of the 2H spin-lattice relaxation time at 175 ~ 350 K. Only a single component was observed in the 2H spectra above 260 K, suggesting that the water hydrogens rapidly exchange their positions between various distinct environments. Analysis of the observed spectra suggests that the water molecules possess C2 rotational freedom at around 260 K and that the hydration shell around Li+ cations is highly symmetrical in the same temperature region

Abstract39K, 87, 85Rb, 133Cs, 205T1, and 1, 2H NMR spin-lattice relaxation times T1 and 14N NQR spin-lattice relaxation times T1Q were determined for R2Pb[Cu(NO2)6] (R = K, Rb, Tl, Cs, and NH4). T1 of 39K and 87Rb showed very short values in the incommensurate phase as compared with those in the other phases. When the commensurate-incommensurate phase transition point is approached from below, 14N T1Q of the R = K, Rb, Tl, and NH4 compounds showed rapid decrease. On the other hand, that of the R = Cs compound began to decrease first after passing beyond the corresponding transition point. The difference of the T1Q behavior may be ascribed to the difference of the condensed phonon mode in the incommensurate phase.

ABSTRACT1H NMR has been employed to study the local environments of bonded hydrogen and trapped molecular hydrogen (H2) in a series of a-Si1−xGex:H alloys. There is a monotonic decrease of bonded hydrogen with increasing x from ≈ 10 at. % at x = 0 (a-Si:H) to ≈ 1 at. % at x = 1 (a-Ge:H). The amplitude of the broad 1H NMR line, which is attributed to clustered bonded hydrogen, decreases continuously across the system. The amplitude of the narrow 1H NMR line, which is attributed to bonded hydrogen essentially randomly distributed in the films, decreases as x increases from 0 to ≈ 0.2. From x = 0.2 to x ≈ 0.6 the amplitude of the narrow 1H NMR line is essentially constant, and for x ≥ 0.6 the amplitude decreases once again. The existence of trapped H2 molecules is inferred indirectly by their influence on the temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation times, T1. Through T1, measurements it is determined that the trapped H2 concentration drops precipitously between x = 0.1 and x = 0.2, but is fairly constant for 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.6. For a-Si:H (x = 0) the H2 concentration is ≈ 0.1 at. %, while for x ≥ 0.2 the concentration of H2 is ≤ 0.02 at. %.

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.

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.

2H and 1H NMR measurements were performed on crystalline [Pt(en)2][PtX2(en)2](ClO4)4 (X = Cl, Br), where the protonated and partially deuterated ethylenediamines (en’s), NH2(CH2)2NH2, NH2(CD2)2NH2 and ND2(CH2)2ND2 were used as ligands. Measurements of 2H and 1H NMR spin-lattice relaxation times showed the presence of motions of en chelate rings at the temperatures near the phase transitions, whereas broad 2H NMR spectra and the reported X-ray diffraction data showed no marked motions. These results were consistently explained by introducing the en puckering motion between highly asymmetric potential wells with an energy difference of 10 - 13 kJ mol-1. This difference was shown to be much larger than 2 - 5 kJ mol-1, reported for the iodo-complex, [Pt(en)2][PtI2(en)2](ClO4)4

This article describes the photo-generation processes of elementary excitations such as solitons and polarons, and their dynamics in the one-dimensional (1D) halogen-bridged Pt compound [Pt(en) 2 Br](ClO 4 ) 2 . Spin-solitons were photo-generated via relaxation processes of CT excitons and self-trapped excitons, made evident by photo-induced absorption and photo-induced electron spin resonance spectra. Polarons were not generated from CT excitons. Diffusion of spin-solitons on the 1D chain was studied quantitatively by analysing 1 H NMR spin-lattice relaxation times ( T 1 ).

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.

A solid-state 2H NMR study of methyl-d3-cobalamin has been performed as a function of temperature to provide information concerning the character and energetics of the motion performed by this unique bioorganometallic methyl group. Analysis of the 2H NMR line shape indicates that the methyl group undergoes rapid three-fold rotation, and that the Co-C-2H angle lies between 105.9 and 109.5°. Determination of the spin-lattice relaxation times T1 shows that the relaxation is anisotropic, consistent with a "jumping" motion of the methyl group rather than rotational diffusion. This also provides the activation energy to methyl jumps as 8.3 ± 1.3 kJ/mol. It is proposed that this energetic barrier may be a useful probe of changes in the electronic character of the Co-C bond that accompany the biological role of this molecule in such enzymes as methionine synthase.Key words: cobalamin, solid-state NMR, deuterium NMR, molecular dynamics.
