Angular dependence of the207Pb NMR linewidth in Pb(NO3)2 due to14N—207Pb direct dipole-dipole interaction

NMR signals of²⁰⁷Pb²⁺ have been measured in a single crystal of Pb(NO₃)₂. For rotation axes perpendicular to the static magnetic field and perpendicular to the (100) or (011) plane the linewidths of these signals vary by a factor 2 for different rotation angles of the single crystal. This dependence of the linewidth on the orientation has been explained by a¹⁴N —²⁰⁷Pb direct dipole-dipole coupling and it has been used to assign the different Pb²⁺ NMR signals to the different Pb²⁺ sites in the cubic unit cell of Pb(NO₃)₂.
