Popis: The spin-lattice relaxation times, T1, of H217O have been measured for aqueous solutions of glucose and galactose derivatives, which are substituents of the 2-OH or 6-OH of these sugars, as a function of the concentration at 25 °C. The values of the coordination numbers, nh, have been estimated on the basis of the water-accessible surface areas (ASA) of the solute molecules. The rotational correlation times, τch, of water molecules around the solute were estimated and compared with that of pure water, τc0. All values of the τch/τc0 for the derivatives were smaller than those of the parent sugars, and the value of τch/τc0 = 1.26 for glucosamine was the smallest among these derivatives. The greater the hydration of the parent sugars is, the more the hydration layer will be disturbed by the substituted groups.
