Abstract: | Proton NMR relaxation times (T2, T1, T1?) are reported for powder samples of MoO3 · 2H2O and yellow MoO3 · H2O in the temperature range 150–325 K and at 20 and 60 MHz. No translation of hydrogen atoms is detected but the spin-lattice relaxation behavior indicates reorientation of H2O molecules. The waters coordinated to Mo atoms undergo 180° flips (about their C2 axes) with similar motional parameters in both compounds. The interlayer waters in MoO3 · 2H2O undergo 180° flips with different parameters. An assumed Arrhenius-type temperature dependence of correlation times leads to preexponential factors which are “anomalously” low. The possible involvement of temperature-dependent activation barriers is discussed. |
