摘要: A quantum statistical treatment of the chemical exchange between molecular eigenstates or conformations revealed previously unsuspected dynamic terms in spin Hamiltonian operator that describes fast exchange. These resulted from effect nuclear on rotational and vibrational relaxation. With traditional theory, an interpretation new carbon-13 magnetic resonance measurements shift methylcyclohexane solution showed fast-exchange equilibrium constants were inconsistent with slow-exchange free-energy difference spread over a range 30 percent for various positions. Modeling indicated they have correct magnitude temperature dependence to reconcile these inconsistencies.
