✦ Synopsis

Studies of nuclear spin relaxation are almost as old as the NMR method itself. The seminal paper in the field was published in 1948 by Bloembergen, Purcell and Pound. The theory developed gradually over the following years, while experimental techniques went through a 'quantum leap' after the Fourier Transform revolution of the late sixties and early seventies. Over recent decades, the applications to a variety of chemical problems have been very numerous and increasingly sophisticated, following the development of more and more sophisticated methodology, not least based on multi-dimensional techniques.

In spite of this already long history, the field of relaxation in liquids remains highly active and NMR spectroscopists continue to develop theoretical and experimental tools, as well as applications. Among current challenges, for both measurements and their interpretation, I wish to mention studies of crosscorrelated relaxation rates, large biological macromolecules and paramagnetic systems. This Special Issue of Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry illustrates the current thinking in these fields and in other areas where studies of nuclear spin relaxation make important contributions to the scientific development of today. As a Guest Editor, I wish to thank all the contributors who made this interesting Special Issue possible.

It is now just over 50 years since Erwin Hahn's first paper on the phenomenon of the spin echo, in which he noted that the formation of echoes could be disrupted by diffusion. This proved to be a significant observation, paving the way for a whole range of experimental methods to investigate both co
