a

Isotropic chemical shift in ppm.

b

Chemical shift anisotropy in ppm.

c

Asymmetry parameter.

d

Fraction = (integral of one component)/(total integral from all components). The relative uncertainties (standard deviation/mean) from repeated iterations of deconvolution are less than 0.3%.

e

Best overlap (%): the simplex iteration minimizes the least squares difference between the experimental spectrum and the superimposed simulated spectra. overlap (%) > 70–90, good agreement. A single Lorentzian–Gaussian line width was used for all the peaks.

f

T1 relaxation time (fitted with eq 1) for each individual isotropic peak. The components for TSPP are overlapped; therefore, a bulk T1 relaxation time is measured from the entire isotropic chemical shift region (5.2–1.7 ppm). The relative uncertainties (standard deviation/mean) from multiple measurements of T1 for each signal are less than 0.8%.

g

T1 relaxation back-calculation factor is defined in eq 3 in the Discussion session (vide infra, Discussion, eq 3).
