Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Study of the Proton Transfer in Water
Abstract
Measurements of the nuclear relaxation in water are reported. The transverse relaxation rate (1/T2) of the proton resonance is pH dependent. The effect is shown to be due to a spin-spin splitting of the proton resonance by O17 (spin 5/2), which is only partially averaged out by proton exchange. The increase of relaxation rate is observable in natural water (0.037% O17), and becomes very appreciable in water enriched in O17. Additional information can be obtained by measuring relaxation rates in the presence of an rf field H1, using a method due to Solomon. A study of the width of the O17 resonance as a function of pH is in quantitative agreement with the results of the proton resonance. The observations provide a direct determination of the rate constants of the exchange reactions: H2O+H3O+→ lim k1H3O++H2O and H2O+HO−→ lim k2HO−+H2O.It is found that k1=(10.6±4)×109 liter mole−1 sec−1 and k2=(3.8±1.5)×109 liter mole−1 sec−1. The spin-spin interaction between H and O17 in water is determined as 92±15 cps. In the Appendices, theoretical equations for the exchange contribution to the relaxation rate are derived.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
