Abstract:
Temperature-dependent (11)B T(1) values were measured for the BF(4) anion and BF(3) in the CF(3)BF(3) anion in room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) composed of the cation N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl)ammonium (DEME). Including the lithium-salt-doped samples, two neat and two binary ionic liquids were studied. Arrhenius plots of the (11)B T(1) showed T(1) minima for BF(4) in the temperature range between 243 (or above freezing) and 373 K. Using the Bloembergen, Pound, and Purcell(BPP) equations for the (11)B quadrupolar and (11)B-(19) F dipolar relaxation mechanisms, the correlation times for motions of BF(4) were calculated. Since the internal rotation of BF(3) is assumed in CF(3)BF(3), T(1) minimum was not observed. The effects of the addition of the lithium salt on the (11)B correlation time and (11)BT(1) for the anions in the ILs are discussed.

Atomic Nuclei: Types of Nuclear Relaxation
In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers energy to a nearby...
