[a]On carrying out the fitting procedure, some parameters were fixed to reasonable values: rGd-H (distance between Gd and protons of the inner sphere water molecule) = 3.1 Å; a (distance of minimum approach of solvent water molecules to Gd3+ ion) = 3.8 Å; D (solvent diffusion coefficient) = 2.2∙10−5 cm2 s−1. [b]Squared mean transient zero-field splitting (ZFS) energy. [c]Correlation time for the collision-related modulation of the ZFS Hamiltonian. [d]Electronic relaxation time at zero field (calculated as 1/τs0 = 12Δ2 × τv). [e]Reorientational correlation time.
