Abstract
The spin–lattice relaxation rates of7Li,23Na,27Al,71Ga, and139La nuclei in electrolyte solutions have been investigated as functions of the isotopic composition of the solvent. The results show that quadrupolar relaxation of the nuclei of monoatomic ions is extremely sensitive to the symmetry of the solvation shells. The data are compared to the results for the2H and17O nuclei of the solvent molecules and the14N nucleus of the nitrate anion. A semiquantitative description of the observed effects is given.
