TLDR
In this paper, the modified Bloch equations for nuclear magnetic resonance are modified to describe the magnetic resonance of a single nuclear species X which is transferred back and forth between two (or more) magnetic environments (A,B) by kinetic molecular processes.
Abstract
The Bloch equations for nuclear magnetic resonance are modified to describe the magnetic resonance of a single nuclear species X which is transferred back and forth between two (or more) magnetic environments (A,B) by kinetic molecular processes. The modified Bloch equations involve the usual assumptions of the Bloch theory and, in addition, require (a) that the X nuclear relaxation times be independent of the molecular exchange rates, and (b) that the X nuclear magnetization in A relax independently of the X magnetization in B, and vice versa. The modified Bloch equations are easily solved in the slow passage case, with arbitrary rf saturation. Earlier relations between reaction rates, and resonance line shapes, which were developed by Gutowsky, McCall, and Slichter, and extended by a number of other investigators, are easily derived using the modified Bloch equations. In the present work the modified equations are used to show how rapid exchange rates can sometimes be measured in solutions where the X r...

Study of Moderately Rapid Chemical Exchange Reactions by Means of Nuclear Magnetic Double Resonance

TL;DR: In this paper, a nuclear magnetic double resonance method for the determination of chemical exchange rates has been developed, which is applicable to systems in which a nuclear spin is reversibly transferred between two nonequivalent sites, A and B, and is obtained through the study of the decay to a new equilibrium value of Signal A upon the sudden saturation of Signal B.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Multiplets in Liquids

TL;DR: In this paper, the number and relative intensities of the components of a multiplet were determined by the number of and statistical weights of the various nuclear spin orientations of the nuclei causing the splitting.

Dissociation, Chemical Exchange, and the Proton Magnetic Resonance in Some Aqueous Electrolytes

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical analysis of the relation between the magnetic absorption line shape and the chemical exchange frequency suggests that rather short chemical lifetimes can be measured; at least one can infer from the appearance of a single or complex resonance that the average lifetime is greater or less than a determinable value in a range about 10−2 to 10−4 sec.

Rates of Paramagnetic Pulse Reactions by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

TL;DR: In this paper, the Bloch equations are used to establish a quantitative relation between nuclear resonance line shape, nuclear, and electron relaxation times, and the reaction rate, and discussed in terms of the Cu63 NMR work of McConnell and Weaver on electron exchange between Cu++ and Cu+ ions in hydrochloric acid solutions.
