Abstract | Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of quadrupolar nuclei (I > 1/2) in liquids often consist of broad resonances, making it difficult to obtain useful chemical information. The poor NMR spectral resolution commonly observed for quadrupolar nuclei is a direct consequence of nuclear quadrupole relaxation processes. Although all key aspects of nuclear quadrupole relaxation processes have been known for decades within the framework of the Redfield relaxation theory, direct experimental NMR relaxation data that cover a wide range of molecular motion in liquids for quadrupolar nuclei are generally lacking. Here we report a complete set of experimental nuclear quadrupole relaxation data that are obtained for 17O, a half-integer quadrupolar nucleus, over the entire range of molecular motion within the limit of the Redfield theory. A general approach utilizing the quadrupole relaxation properties in the slow motion limit will be particularly beneficial for studies of quadrupolar nuclei in biomolecules of medium and large sizes. |
