The temperature dependence of the site lifetimes, tA and tB, characterizing the intermolecular exchange of X between sites A and B through simultaneous first-order and second-order processes as expressed in the rate law 1/tA = XB/XAtB = k1 + k2[B] and the treatment of such data determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are discussed.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to examine the conformations of cobalamins in solution. The perturbation of the resonances in the n.m.r. spectra by lanthanide probes provided particularly valuable information. Except for minor details the conformations are the same as those in the crystalline state. The temperature dependence of the conformation has been reassessed.
