Ammonium ion diffusion in the superprotonic phase of (NH 4) 3H(SO 4) 2 as studied by 1H spin-lattice relaxation times in the rotating frame
Ammonium ion diffusion in (NH 4) 3H(SO 4) 2 has been studied by means of 1H spin-lattice relaxation times in the rotating frame, T 1 ρ . The 1H T 1 ρ values were measured at 200.13 MHz in the ranges of 380 to 490 K. The ammonium protons and the acidic protons have independent T 1 ρ values, suggestin...

Summary: | Ammonium ion diffusion in (NH

3H(SO

. The

ρ
values were measured at 200.13 MHz in the ranges of 380 to 490 K. The ammonium protons and the acidic protons have independent

values, suggesting that the spin diffusion between the two species is ineffective. The translational diffusion of the ammonium ions is the most dominant mechanism to relax both the ammonium protons and the acidic protons in phase I. The
