Structural applications of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation times

Abstract

-The structural utility of three mechanisms of nuclear spin relaxation are considered. Examples illustrating the applicability of nuclear-nuclear dipolar relaxation in determining molecular microdynamics and solution geometry are presented. The use of Spin-rotation relaxation to determine barriers to CH 3 groups rotations and an example of quadrupole relaxation of deuteriums to probe molecular motion are discussed.An experimental method for determining relaxation times is briefly analysed.
