Notes:
The effect of lithium chloride on the relaxation mechanisms of simple acid and alcohols has been examined. Dipolar relaxation is predominant for acetic acid and ethanol. Lithium chloride (approximately 10%) significantly increases the rate of dipolar relaxation for all carbons and protons of acetic acid, probably through an increase in aggregate size or viscosity. Lithium chloride (approximately 1.5%) has a similar but smaller effect on the protons of ethanol. The methyl carbons and fluorines of trifluoroacetic acid and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol relax primarily by spin-rotation. With about 10% lithium chloride, dipolar relaxation becomes more important for trifluoroacetic acid. With about 1.5% lithium chloride, trifluoroethanol possibly shows an enhancement of spin-rotation relaxation for the CF3 nuclei.
