Wide-line 2H n.m.r. study of perdeuterated pyridine imbibed in a premium coal
1990
Abstract The motion of perdeuterated pyridine imbibed in Argonne premium high-volatile coal (no. 601) has been studied by wide-line 2 H n.m.r. spectroscopy. The coal sample had been saturated with perdeuterated pyridine for several days, then evacuated until the pyridine reached a concentration of 3.5%. The entrapped pyridine molecules undergo two tyes of rotation about the twofold symmetry axis: rapid diffusional rotation with a correlation time of 1 × 10 −7 s; and 180 ° jumps with a residence time of 6 × 10 −6 s. It is estimated that roughly half of the pyridine molecules execute each kind of motion. There is no evidence for a pyridine fraction that executes rapid isotropic rotation. The anisotropic nature of the rotation indicates that the interaction between pyridine and the coal structure is strong enough to prevent isotropic rotation.
