title: Cross correlations in the longitudinal relaxation of strongly coupled spins
abstract: A generalized set of magnetization modes for quantifying cross-correlation contributions to longitudinal relaxation in strongly coupled spin systems is described in this paper. Such a set of modes (called longitudinal multiple-quantum modes) is used to unravel cross-correlation information in strongly coupled systems, where the strength of the J coupling tends to obscure such effects. The applicability of such methods is demonstrated for a small molecule which exhibits some strong coupling effects even at high magnetic field strengths. The contribution of "remote" cross correlations to the longitudinal relaxation of strongly coupled spins is detailed. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
