Abstract

The measurement of the dipolar interaction of 23Na with hydrogen nuclei in glycerol solution is reported. The method, applied previously to 7Li (U. Eliav and G. Navon, J. Magn. Reson. A 123, 32 (1996)), is based on the measurement of the triple-quantum relaxation time of 23Na. Several models of motion are discussed. The analysis of the results yielded 1.9 MHz and 12.5 kHz for the quadrupolar and the 23Na-1H dipolar interaction, respectively. It is shown that under the conditions of long correlation times the triple-quantum relaxation time can be sensitive to dipolar interactions smaller than the quadrupolar interaction by as much as a factor of 5000. This indicates the possibility of measuring interatomic distances for nuclei with sizable quadrupolar moments.
