Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Experiments on 19F in Solutions and their Interpretation by the “Pulse Model” of Molecular Collisions

Abstract

The dynamic fluorine polarization by the Overhauser effect has been studied at four different magnetic field values and at various temperatures in several fluorocarbon solutions. The importance of intermolecular contact couplings is very sensitively dependent on the chemical environment of the fluorine nuclei. The experimental data are interpreted in terms of the stochastic “pulse model” of molecular collisions derived in a preceding paper. The parameters of the model, such as the relative contribution of scalar couplings, the shape and the time scale of collision pulses and the correlation times of the molecular motion are given explicitly for six fluorocarbon solutions of free radicals.
