Abstract
The electron spin relaxation of Mn2+ in supercooled water adsorbed on silica gel and γ-alumina has been investigated. The correlation time for the modulation of the zero-field splitting tensor has been evaluated from the temperature and frequency dependence of the e.s.r. linewidth: τc= 1.4 ± 0.3 × 10–12 s at 25 °C has been extrapolated for bulk water solution. In the capillary adsorbed water, lineshape analysis suggests the existence of a distribution of crystal-field sites. The rate of interchange among differently relaxing sites is < 109 s–1. This suggests a long-range solid-water interaction which slows the mobility of water molecules up to 15–20 Å from the surface.
