Abstract

Molecular reorientation of 2-chloropyrimidine dissolved in CS2 (0·1 M) has been investigated by means of 13C and proton relaxation. Although weakly coupled, the proton system subjected to non-selective 180-τ-90 pulse sequences allows the determination of one autocorrelation and one cross-correlation dipolar spectral density. The proton and carbon-13 relaxation data allow the complete determination of the rotational diffusional tensor: and It is shown that scalar relaxation due to nitrogen-14, has no effect on proton longitudinal relaxation time, because of a cross term due to the symmetry of the molecule, although this mechanism could, a priori, have been thought to be important. Finally, the nitrogen relaxation time recalculated with Dxx , Dyy , Dzz and the quadrupolar coupling tensor is in agreement with the observed linewidth.
