Abstract From the temperature and concentration dependence of the 13C spin lattice relaxation times of the 12 carbon atoms of the sucrose molecule the rotational dynamics of the sugar molecules are determined. No indication for conformational mobility of the rings is found. The exocyclic hydroxymethyl groups possess extra mobility. The models used for the description are critically discussed. The temperature dependence of the rotational mobility is described by a VTF equation. The concentration dependence of the ideal glass transition temperature To for this mobility is derived.

Abstract1H NMR spin-lattice relaxation times T1 and -if accessible -level-crossing peaks and inelastic neutron scattering spectra have been measured for solid 2-and 3-methylfuran, 2-and 3-methylthiophene, 3-and 4-methylpyrazole, 1-methylimidazole, and 5-methylisoxazole. From the tunnel splittings, the torsional excitations and the NMR relaxation rates, the molecular dynamics of the methyl rotators has been evaluated between the limits of quantum tunnelling at low temperatures and thermally activated random reorientation at elevated temperatures.

14 N n.m.r. spin-lattice relaxation times of four metal nitrate salts were measured as a function of concentration in aqueous solution. The concentration dependence of T1 was attributed to the formation of ion pairs with increasing concentration in these solutions. The T1 data, allowing for viscosity corrections, were treated by a two-state model of 'free' and 'bound' nitrate ions and to both possibilities of slow and fast exchange between the two states. In the equilibrium expressions estimates of the relevant activity coefficients were included. The slow nitrate exchange mechanism was favoured and the values obtained for this particular mechanism compared well with those derived from alternative measurements.

A layered model of the structural organization of macrofibrils of native cellulose, consisting of microfibrils, which include elementary fibrils, has been developed. A feature of the proposed model is the presence of slit-like pores between the crystalline elements of cellulose. It was found that, on average, each water molecule interacts with one glucose residue of the surface chains of cellulose with the formation of hydrogen bonds in the framework of monolayer adsorption. This allows to establish a correlation between the cellulose crystallinity and the capacity of the adsorption water monolayer on its active surface. Based on the condition of rapid molecular exchange between the adsorption water layers in the framework of the Bloembergen-Purcell-Pound theory, an approach is proposed for determination the capacity of water monolayer. The obtained values are consistent with the results of solving the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller equation for the adsorption isotherm of water on the active surface of cellulose. The Fourier transform of the free induction decay signal of cellulose allows to estimate its crystallinity at various moisture contents. Methods have been developed for assessing the crystallinity of different types of dry cellulose based on NMR relaxation parameters — spin-lattice relaxation time and spin-spin relaxation time. Using the method of deuteration of cellulose, the relaxation times of its crystalline regions were determined. The results of preliminary studies showed that the crystallinity of cotton cellulose is higher in comparison with the same parameter of woody types of cellulose. A comparison of the literature and the data we obtained using 1H-NMR relaxation confirmed the possibility of utilizing the developed methods to solve the tasks of scientific research and conducting quality control of cellulosic materials at specialized enterprises.

AbstractThe spin-lattice relaxation time of 39K NMR observed in the low-temperature phase (T<264.1 K) of KNO2 is explained by the quadrupole mechanism contributed from a newly found NO2- motion. The in-plane C3 reorientation and the overvall NO2 rotation as well as the self-diffusion were shown in the intermediate phase (T ≤ 314.7 K) and the high-temperature plastic phase (T < melting point: 710 K), respectively, by observing 39K and 15N NMR relaxation times and 15N lineshapes.

The encephalitogenic nonapeptide Phe1-Ser2-Trp3-Gly4-Ala5-Glu6-Gly7-Gln8- Lys9 and its [D-Ala5] analogue have been studied in aqueous solution by 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy. The resonances of all the carbons have been assigned and their pH profiles measured. The expected conformational differences are indicated by only subtle differences in long-range pH titration shifts. The spin-lattice relaxation times T1 of all the protonated carbons of the [L-Ala5] nonapeptide have been measured at 25°C. Analysis of these data in terms of effective correlation times for side-chain mobilities suggests restricted motions for the side chains of Glu6 and Gln8 and the aromatic rings of Phe1 and Trp3.

The NMR relaxation technique was used to investigate the permeation of molecules into the cavity of ferritin. Spin-lattice relaxation times in the rotating frame of various probe molecules were measured for solutions of recombinant horse L-apoferritin without iron and horse spleen apoferritin with very small amounts of ferric ions. The results show that molecules larger than the size of the ferritin channels can pass through the channels into the ferritin interior, and that the maximum size of molecules for the permeation is smaller than maltotriose.

The 11B, 10B, and 14N spin–lattice relaxation times (T1) for aqueous solutions of BH3NH3 were measured by NMR spectroscopy. The results of this investigation are consistent with the nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants reported in previous nuclear quadrupolar resonance and microwave studies. The activation energy associated with rotational reorientation of BH3NH3 in aqueous solution is 11.7 ± 0.6 kJ/mol. Electric field gradients were calculated at various levels of abinitio molecular orbital theory, in order to obtain theoretical 14N and 11B quadrupolar coupling constants. At the highest level of calculation (CI(SD)/6-31G**//MP2/6-31G**), these are in agreement with recently reported microwave results but not with previously reported NQR experiments.

Deuteron spin lattice relaxation times T1 of sucrose/D2O solutions are given as function of temperature, pressure, frequency and concentration. From the temperature dependence of the 2H -T1 the rotational dynamics of the hydrated sucrose complex and the water molecules are determined. For high pressure and high concentrations the temperature dependence of the water molecules is described by a Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher equation. The ideal glass transition temperatures TOH2O derived for the water molecules are at higher concentrations almost constant and smaller than the TOsuc of the sugar molecules
