Abstract
The results from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation time measurements, time resolved ultrafast spectroscopy and classical molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations are combined to yield a detailed understanding of the reorientational dynamics in liquid methanol (CH3OH) at room temperature. It is found that the reorientational motions of single molecules are anisotropic, the correlation times for molecule-fixed vectors perpendicular to the H-bond is about half that for the O-H vector. Furthermore, the dielectric relaxation of methanol after strong perturbation was measured to be temperature dependent.
