H-1 spin-lattice relaxation studies have been performed for pure [Bi(NO3)(3)(H2O)(3)]*18-crown-6 in powder and its solution in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The experiments have been carried out in the frequency range of 10kHz-30MHz and the temperature range of 240-277K; at 277K the solution is already frozen. The H-1 relaxation of pure [Bi(NO3)(3)(H2O)(3)]*18-crown-6 has been interpreted in terms of three dynamical processes. Quadrupole Relaxation Enhancement effects have been observed in the frozen DMSO solution of [Bi(NO3)(3)(H2O)(3)]*18-crown-6. The specific mechanisms of the H-1 spin-lattice relaxation enhancement have been discussed distinguishing between effects caused by time independent (residual) and fluctuating H-1-Bi-209 dipole-dipole interactions.
