The radical intermediates formed by photoinitiated crosslinking of low density polyethylene (LDPE) with benzophenone (BP) as photoinltiator have been investigated by spin-trapping ESR technique using 2,3,5,6-tetramethylnitrosodurene (ND). By the temperature change and determining the well-resolved ESR spectrum of the nitroxide spin-adducts at the melt, the following two radicals could be identified:one was the secondary carbon radical,CH
2 -?H-CH
2 -,another was the tertiary carbon radical,
.Based on these results, the photocrosslinking reactions of LDPE initiated by BP mainly take place at the secondary and tertiary carbons.

A METHOD FOR MEASURING PROTON SPIN DIFFUSION RATE IN CP MAS NMR

Chinese Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 1990, 7(4): 393-404.
Spin diffuson is of great significance to many phenomena in solid state NMR. There have been several theoretical schemes for evaluating the diffusion coefficient. In fact, however, this kind of evaluation is not only unpractical but also unreliable. This paper presents a new scheme for determining spin diffusion rate by using the depolarization of the rare spins in CP MAS NMR, where the magnetization of rigid protonated rare spins decays in two-stages, and the slow second stage which is a single-exponential process offers a direct measurement of spin diffusion rate. Spin diffusion is actually a macroscopic manifestation of polarization transfer via flip-flop of successive pairs of spins, which can be reasonably described by a one-dimensional random walk model. The average flip-flop time can be deduced from the slope of the semilogarithm curve of depolarization, and the spin diffusion coefficient can thus be estimated. In some typical rigid organic solids and crystallized polymers, the average flip-flop time is found to be about 700μ s, which is of an order of magnitude longer than the dipolar correlation time. It means that the spin diffusion time constant is quite different from the spin-spin relaxation time constant, although the two processes are closely related. Consequently, the estimation of spin diffusion coefficient from proton line width is quite questionable

Soid complex of Gd3- with 2, 3-dihydroxy-p-xylylenf diaminotetraacetic acid (DPTA) was synthesized. Studies have been performed in which the above-mentioned complex was utilized as water-soluble paramagnetic relaxation reagent for 13 C NMR spectrometry. Model compounds with which the reagent is effective include threonine, cysteine, arginine, histidine, tryptophan and ascorbic acid. It was shown that the reagent investigated can not only enhance the singal intensities for carbons not attached to hydrogen, but also suppress the nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) for protonated carbons. Carbons-13 spin-lattice relaxation times (T1 ) of the arginine acid in the presence or absence of the relaxation reagents were measured. The results show that Gd-DPTA is more effective than Gd-DTPA as a carbon-13 relaxation reagent.
