The proton relaxation timesT 1 in binuclear copper complexes

Proton spin-lattice relaxation times as a function of temperature for two kinds of binuclear copper complexes with antiferromagnetic exchange interactionJS₁S₂ have been measured in order to understand the relaxation effects in exchange clusters. It is shown that the results reflect the coupling of the nuclear and electron subsystems; in the rangekT<J the coupling of the subsystems is modulated by temperature independent processes, in the rangekT≥J the temperature dependence of the dynamics of the electron subsystem is manifested. The response of the nuclear subsystem to the change in the nature of magnetic excitations is discovered.
