## Abstract The energy barriers associated with Nο£ΎO rotation in a series of __p__βnitrosoanilines were measured by the total bandshape NMR method. Energies [Ξ__G__^β‘^ (298.15 K)] are in the range 38β57 kJ mol^β1^, the magnitudes being lowered appreciably by the presence of methyl substituents flank

β¦ Synopsis
We measured the 31P[tH] Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) as a function of temperature and of aH irradiation frequency, the linewidth Avaa as a function of temperature and the relaxation time T1 above and below the thermal transition temperature, of the 3tP-NMR signal in sonicated liposomes of 1,2-dimiristoyl-3-sn-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-3sn-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and 1,2-distearoyl-3-sn-phosphatklylcholine (DSPC). The same measurements were repeated in the presence of high molecular weight dextrans. They strongly reduce the NOE and produce longer relaxation times T1. According to the current models, we were able to evaluate, in the different situations, the correlation time of the internal motion r G and the distance r between interacting groups in the region of the polar head groups. While the first parameter changes abruptly through the phase transition and under the effect of dextrans, the latter does not appear modified in any case. These results are discussed in terms of a conformational change of the phosphocholine head groups.
