The spin-lattice relaxation of ten polychloroalkanes (ethanes to pentanes) have been studied both neat and in a 50% solution in CDCl3. The T1 values for the CH2, CH2Cl and CHCl2 carbons decrease with increasing molecular weight in accordance with a dipolar-dominated mechanism, whereas those of the CCl3 carbons showed no dependence on molecular weight. In chloropentanes, with chlorine substitution at one end only, the frequency of segmental motion begins to compete with that of overall tumbling of the molecule. Consequently, the T1 minimum is shifted from the middle towards the heavier end of the molecule, and also a relatively large T1 for the terminal methyl is observed. It was also demonstrated that the segmental motion is less dependent on solvent and concentration (viscosity) than the overall reorientation of the molecules.
