Popis: We have measured the proton spin-lattice relaxation rate R in 4,4′-methylenebis(2,6-di-t-butylphenol) (MBDBP) and MBDBP-OD (deuteriated hydroxyl proton) between 88 K and 380 K. The experimental results are compared with those from a previous study in the closely related but simpler molecule 4-methyl-2,6-di-t-butylphenol (MDBP). The present experiment is analysed in terms of relaxation resulting from intramolecular reorientation modulation of the proton spin-spin interaction. This intramolecular reorientation involves different combinations of superpositions of methyl, t-butyl, aromatic ring and hydroxyl group reorientation and a discussion is presented concerning the effects on the relaxation of superimposing these motions. The MBDBP-OD data is best fitted with the assumption that only methyl and aromatic ring reorientations occur. In MBDBP it is found that, in addition, an OH flip-flop motion is superimposed on the aromatic ring reorientation.
