Abstract Field-cycling and standard pulsed NMR techniques have been used to study the frequency dependence of the longitudinal proton spin relaxation time T x in the crystalline estradiol compound (+)3,1,7-ß-bis-(4n-butoxybenzoyloxy)-estra-1,3,5-(10)-trien or BET, which is a mesogenic material with a chiral molecular structure. From the measured Larmor frequency and temperature depen-dences we conclude that, at low NMR frequencies in the cholesteric phase, T1 reflects in addition to the relaxation process familiar from nematic liquid crystals (director fluctuation modes) another slow mechanism theoretically predicted for cholesteric systems, namely diffusion induced rotational molecular reorientation. These relaxation processes are not or much less effective in the crystalline and glassy state, where they are frozen. Also the high NMR frequency relaxation dispersion strongly differs between the cholesteric mesophase and the not liquid crystalline samples. This is interpreted by a change from essentially translational self-diffusion to rotational diffusion controlled proton relaxation.

Quadrupole Coupling

Abstract The Larmor frequency dependence of the proton spin relaxation time, obtained by means of the fast field-cycling NMR technique, has been used to study the 14N quadrupole coupling constant K and its asymmetry parameter η in the nematic and smectic phases of some liquid crystalline azoxybenzenes (PAA, BAB, HAB, HpAB), cyanobiphenyls (8CB, 9CB, 11CB) and oxycyanobiphenyls (9 OCB). Due to fast molecular reorientations, the effective quadrupole coupling constants are relatively small, whereas surprisingly the asymmetry parameters are rather large. The temperature dependence of both K and η within the mesophases, as well as their discontinuities at the different mesophase transitions, can be interpreted by the anisotropy of molecular rotations. It is found that temperature effects are significantly more pronounced for the (biaxial) smectic-C phase of the heptyloxyazoxybenzene (HpAB) than for the (uniaxial) smectic-A phase of the various investigated cyano- and oxycyanobiphenyls. As a rule, η turned out smaller in the smectic than in the nematic state, whereas K has similar values in both phases

AbstractWe report a study of proton spin relaxation of an Iridium N-heterocyclic carbene complex [Ir(COD)(IMes)Cl] complex (where COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene, Imes=1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene). This compound is a pre-catalyst of the most efficient complex allowing the signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) effect, relevant for enhancing weak signals in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). An important feature of the study is a combination of relaxation measurements over a wide field range with high-resolution NMR detection. As a result, we are able to measure nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) curves in the field range 0.1 mT–16.4 T (corresponding to the frequency range 4 kHz–700 MHz) for individual protons in the complex under study. This attractive possibility enables determination of the motional correlation times,
