Abstract:
In this work we present a quantitative analysis of both quadrupolar splittings and deuterium Zeeman and quadrupolar spin-lattice relaxation times reported in the literature for two isotopomers of Azpac, an acetylacetonate derivative of the cyclopalladated 4, 4'-bis(hexyloxy) azoxybenzene. Azpac-d(4) is deuterated at the aromatic rings and Azpac-d(26) is deuterated on the alkoxy chains. The additive potential method is used to model the splittings, while the derived spectral densities are interpreted using the decoupled model in conjunction with the Nordio model. The two side chains are assumed to be noninteracting and identical in their conformations in order to limit the size of the transition rate matrix needed to describe correlated internal bond rotations in the chains. Rotational diffusion constants and internal jump rate constants are derived for this metallomesogen.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
