By use of a nuclear quadrupole intramolecular mechanism, expressions are obtained for the relaxation rates for both ortho and para X2 molecules which have nuclear spins I1 > 1/2. It is found, except for I1 = 1, that as a result of the nuclear spin weightings the two species relax with different rates, even at temperatures high enough so that the rotational averages are approximately equal.

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.
