Nuclear magnetic spin-rotational relaxation times for symmetric molecules

It is shown that the problem of calculating times related to nuclear magnetic spin-rotational interactions may be solved for the symmetric rotator model of a molecule by employing the method already proposed in a general manner for asymmetric molecules that undergo rotational thermal motion. Expressions are derived for the spin-rotational correlation time and for the contributions arising from spin-rotational interactions to the longitudinal and transverse relaxation times.
