An order–disorder transition occurs in 1-adamantanol at 359 K on heating and at 342 K on cooling, with transition entropies of 36 and 34 J K−1 mol−1, respectively. FT-ir spectra show that free hydroxyl groups exist in the high temperature phase, but the majority of the O—H groups remain hydrogen bonded. The barrier to adamantyl group rotation in the low-temperature phase, determined from proton spin–lattice relaxation time measurements, is 20.9 Kj mol−1, and the barrier to rotation in the high-temperature phase is 35.0 kJ mol−1.

NMR, NQR, powder X-ray diffraction, DTA and AC conductivity were measured in RMBr4 (R = Ag, Cu; M = Al, Ga) and RM2Br7 (R = Li, Ag; M = Al, Ga). In RMBr4 , the activation energy of Cu+ diffusion was evaluated from 63Cu NMR and was in good agreement with that from 81Br NQR. In CuAlBr4 , the e2Qq/h value of 63Cu NMR and the η value of 27AI NMR changed linearly with decreasing temperature, although the e2Qq/h value of 27AI NMR did not change so much. These temperature dependences are supposed to be due to Cu+ diffusion and not to a variation of the lattice constants. In RM2Br7 , the activation energy was obtained from the spin-lattice relaxation time T1 of 81Br NQR and is ascribed to a modulation of the cation diffusion. The line width of 7Li NMR in LiAl2Br7 was about 5.9 kHz in the low-temperature phase and 0.4 kHz for the high-temperature phase. The 27AlNMR spectrum was broadened by the quadrupole interaction and unchanged up to 400 K, suggesting that diffusion of Li+ ions occurs in the high-temperature phase.

The phase transition behaviour of cycloheptene has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, proton spin-lattice relaxation, and vibrational spectroscopy (infrared and Raman). Two solid–solid phase transitions were observed, at 154 and 210 K, with transition enthalpies and entropies of 5.28 and 0.71 kJ mol−1 and 34.3 and 3.4 JK−1, respectively. Cycloheptene melted at 217 K with an entropy of melting of 4.5 JK−1 mol−1. The bands in the vibrational spectra of the two high temperature phases were broad and featureless, characteristic of highly disordered phases. The presence of other conformers, in addition to the chair form, was indicated from bands in the spectra. The ring inversion mode was highly phase dependent and exhibited soft mode type behaviour prior to the transition from the low temperature phase. The low frequency Raman spectra (external modes) of these phases indicated that the molecules are undergoing isotropic reorientation. In the low temperature phase, the vibrational bands were narrow; the splitting of the fundamentals into two components and the presence of nine external modes are consistent with unit cell symmetry of either C2 or Cs with two molecules per primitive unit cell. A glassy state can be produced from the intermediate phase and the vibrational spectra were very similar to those of the high temperature phases, indicating that static disorder was present. The barriers to reorientation, as obtained from proton spin-lattice relaxation measurements, are 9.0 kJ mol−1 in both the high temperature phases, and 15.4 kJ mol−1 in the low temperature, ordered phase. Keywords: cycloheptene, phase transition, differential scanning calorimetry, NMR, vibrational spectroscopy.

The proton NMR second moment and spin-lattice relaxation time have been studied for polycrystalline thiourea pyridinium nitrate inclusion compound and its perdeuderated analogues in a wide temperature range. The reorientation of two dynamically different pyridinium cations around their pseudohexagonal symmetry axis taking place over inequivalent barriers have been revealed in the low-temperature phase. Activation parameters for these motions have been derived. A symmetrization of the potential barriers has been observed at the transition from intermediate to the high temperature phase. The motion of thiourea molecules has been also evidenced, but could not be unambiguously described.

Abstract A detailed proton second moment and spin-lattice relaxation time investigation of the bilayered compound (C10H21NH3)2 CdCl4 is reported. In the low temperature phase the methyl group exe-cutes a classical threefold reorientation, while the NH3 group is involved in a similar reorientation in an asymmetric potential well. Evidence for defect chain motions in this phase has been found, and infomation regarding the potential wells associated with these motions has been extracted from the data. In the high temperature phase, slow chain defect motions and fast fourfold reorientations of chains about their long axes, parallel to the normal to the bilayer, have been observed.

AbstractMeasurements of the 1H spin-lattice relaxation time T1, the linewidth parameter T*2the second moment of 1H NMR absorption, differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry were performed on methylammonium tetrabromozincate(II) crystals from 58 to above 500 K. A solid-solid phase transition was located at 456 K. In the room temperature phase, 120° reorientational jumps of CH3 and NH3+ groups in the cation about its C -N bond axis were detected. In the high-temperature phase, the cations undergo overall reorientation as well as translational self-diffusion. The activation energy for the cationic self-diffusion was evaluated to be 18 kJ mol-1 .

Guanidinium [Formula: see text] chloride, bromide, and iodide salts have been studied by 1H and 2H nmr as a function of temperature. The 2H powder lineshapes show conclusively that reorientation of the guanidinium ion occurs about the principal three-fold axis in the chloride, bromide, and high temperature phase of the iodide. Activation energies for this process have been obtained from 1H spin-lattice relaxation results. The question of whether or not there are concurrent two-fold flips of the —NH2 units is discussed, but must presently remain unresolved. It was found that the high temperature phase of the iodide can be supercooled.

Abstract A model for the spin lattice relaxation time of the protons of dimethylammonium in the Redfield limit and common spin temperature approximation is developed. The three fold reorientations of the methyl groups, the rotation of the whole molecular group around its two fold symmetric axis and possible correlations among these motions are considered. The effect of these processes on the dipolar interactions among the protons within the same molecular group is taken into account. The resulting relaxation rate is powder averaged and used to explain the experimental data in literature on [NH2(CH3)2]3Sb2Br9 . The analysis shows that dynamically inequivalent groups exist in this compound and that the effect of proposed correlation among the different motions on the final results is negligible.

Measurements of the proton spin–lattice relaxation time using pulse techniques have been made on the hydrogen–nitrogen, hydrogen–neon, and hydrogen–helium systems from room temperature to 60° K. The results are in good agreement with the Oppenheim–Bloom theory and illustrate the importance of the radial distribution of the gas molecules and of diffraction effects associated with the de Broglie wavelength.

AbstractThe water proton spin-lattice relaxation time and recovery function of exchangeable water was measured in tricalcium silicate (C3S) gels. The measurements were carried out as a function of the hydration time and grain size. Results show that the hydration of (C3S) is a two stage process. A model is developped
