Various nmr spectroscopic techniques have been used to determine the orientation of the anomeric hydroxyl group of 2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-mannofuranose (1) in dimethylsulfoxide solution, as well as other conformational features of themolecule. 13C and 1H coupling constants indicate that in its most probable orientation the O—H bond is anti with respect tocarbon-2, and forms an angle of ~40° with the C-1—H-1 bond. Spin-lattice relaxation rates (R1) and nuclear Overhauser enhancements (nOe) have been measured for the pertinent protons and used, in conjunction with 13C relaxation times, as additional criteria for characterizing the geometry of the anomeric alcohol group of 1. These results are in good agreement with the coupling constant data. The conformations of the mannofuranose ring, the 2,3-O-isopropylidene ring, and the C-4 to C-6 region of the molecule are also described.

The 11B, 10B, and 14N spin–lattice relaxation times (T1) for aqueous solutions of BH3NH3 were measured by NMR spectroscopy. The results of this investigation are consistent with the nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants reported in previous nuclear quadrupolar resonance and microwave studies. The activation energy associated with rotational reorientation of BH3NH3 in aqueous solution is 11.7 ± 0.6 kJ/mol. Electric field gradients were calculated at various levels of abinitio molecular orbital theory, in order to obtain theoretical 14N and 11B quadrupolar coupling constants. At the highest level of calculation (CI(SD)/6-31G**//MP2/6-31G**), these are in agreement with recently reported microwave results but not with previously reported NQR experiments.

Abstract1H NMR spin-lattice relaxation times T1 and -if accessible -level-crossing peaks and inelastic neutron scattering spectra have been measured for solid 2-and 3-methylfuran, 2-and 3-methylthiophene, 3-and 4-methylpyrazole, 1-methylimidazole, and 5-methylisoxazole. From the tunnel splittings, the torsional excitations and the NMR relaxation rates, the molecular dynamics of the methyl rotators has been evaluated between the limits of quantum tunnelling at low temperatures and thermally activated random reorientation at elevated temperatures.

Indirect measurements of nitrogen-14 nuclear spin-lattice relaxation times and direct proton coupling constants are presented together with carbon-13 T1 data for a series of alkyl-substituted nucleic acid bases and mixtures thereof in DMSO-d6. With the exception of the guanine NH nitrogen, which possibly experiences a decrease in the electric field gradient upon complexation with cytosine, no indications of significant changes in the electronic environment around the nitrogen nuclei were found for any combination of bases. Forsen–Hoffman spin saturation transfer experiments on the NH and NH2 protons are also presented.

The results of a variable temperature study of the 2H and 13C spin–lattice relaxation times in neopentane-d12 are reported. along with those for the 13C's in neopentane at a single temperature. Orientational and angular momentum correlation times derived from these T1's exhibit the following: (i) τ2 is continuous through the melting point with an activation energy of 0.98 kcal/mol, (ii) τJ is more or less constant at 0.33 ± 0.03 ps within 40 K of either side of the melting point, and (iii) they do not conform to the theoretical relationships of extended diffusion, Fokker–Planck, or Langevin theories. The spin–rotation coupling constants are calculated to be −0.69 kHz for neopentane and −0.52 kHz for neopentane-d12

The conformational equilibrium in [13C-1-methyl]-cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane has been assessed by (a) direct integration of signals due to equatorial and axial methyl carbons in the 13C nmr spectrum at 172 K and (b) by measurement of the 13C chemical shifts of C-1 and C-4 in the spectrum at 300 K. It is concluded that a 13C isotope effect on the position of the degenerate equilibrium in cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane is either nonexistent, or is too small to be detected by methods of analyses employed. The 13C nmr data incidental to the study (chemical shifts, coupling constants, spin–lattice relaxation times, nuclear Overhauser enhancements, and 1-bond isotope shifts) are recorded for the title compound and its trans-isomer.

This spin-lattice relaxation times T1 of protons in the presence of the shift reagent Eu(FOD)3-D27 and the relaxation reagent Gd(FOD)3 were employed for the structure analysis of 1-adamantanol, 4-diamantanol, adamantanone, and 2,2-dioxy-2-thiaadamantane. The structure models of the complex adducts of the substrates with Gd(FOD)3 are discussed. The dependence of the corrected spin-lattice relaxation rates on the relaxation reagent concentration is linear only in the region of low concentration.
