Longitudinal nuclear relaxation in an A(2) spin system initially polarized through para-hydrogen
Os-3(CO)(10)(NCCH3)(2) has been hydrogenated with para-hydrogen to yield H2Os3(CO)(10) where the two hydrogen nuclei remain magnetically equivalent and therefore in a singlet state. Despite this equivalence, an enhanced longitudinal magnetization is observed to decrease toward thermal equilibrium. It is postulated that this enhanced magnetization is created through a nuclear relaxation interference mechanism (cross-correlation between dipolar interaction and chemical shift anisotropy); decay curves are then successfully analyzed by means of a spin relaxation theory adapted to this situation.
