The transverse relaxation rate of H 2 0 in AI(H20)F has been measured as a function of temperature (255 to 417 K) and pressure (up to 220 MPa) using the I70-NMR line-broadening technique, in the presence of Mn(I1) as a relaxation agent. At high temperatures the relaxation rate is governed by chemical exchange with bulk H,O, whereas at low temperatures quadrupolar relaxation is prevailing. Low-temperature fast-injection I70-NMR was used to extend the accessible kinetic domain. The samples studied contained A13+ ( mechanism. These results of H 2 0 exchange on Al(H,O)P are discussed together with the available complex-formation rate data and permit also the assignment of I, mechanisms to these latter reactions.
