For symmetric top molecules the role of nuclear spin symmetry is included in the derivation of the nuclear magnetic relaxation rate. It is assumed that this is dominated by a spin-rotation mechanism. Of the three nuclear spin species which exist for ZX3Y' symmetric tops, it is found that the "zero frequency" K = −1 to +1 term results in two of the species relaxing with a different rate from the third. The difference, which allows a direct NMR evaluation of the relative values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], is enhanced at low temperatures.
