Summary of the measured T1 and T2 of the various components observed in the 2D T1–T2 ILT map of water in the PAD sample. As described in the text, the correlation time (τc) is determined from the ratio of T1 to T2 and quantifies the tumbling of the D2O molecule; the number following the ± symbol is not an error bar, but expresses the distribution of T1 and T2 values in the 2D ILT map which is propagated into the computation of τc. In cases where the T1–T2 ILT map was broadly distributed (at 40 and 50 °C, refer to Figure 8) the distribution value for T1 and T2 could not be accurately determined. The relative proportion was also determined based on the integrated signal intensity in the 2D T1–T2 ILT map at every temperature.
