Abstract

Modulation of the crystal field by solvent electric field fluctuations is shown to induce rapid temperature insensitive electron spin relaxation in paramagnetic transition metal complexes in solution. The theory is developed for a d 2 (S = 1) octahedral complex. If the zero field splitting is larger than the applied field strength (D > μB B o) the observed nuclear relaxation times are field insensitive in accord with experiment.
