Abstract
It is shown, that the plots of omega /T-1 and NOE x omega /T-1 versus -log omega give the distribution of rotational correlation time tau plotted vers us log tau and spread by (rather wide) "slit" functions the form and shape of which are independent of the position on the log tau axis. When plotting data at various temperatures, temperature shift factors a(T) and the plots versus -log (omegaa(r)) should be used. The plots permit to check the data compatibility and are helpful in studying molecular dynamics. Examples of the plots are given. One example stimulated a consideration of the segmenta l motion dynamics, which showed that the Hall-Helfand distribution is inapp ropriate for a description of the orientational relaxation of the non-backb one (C-H) bonds in a polymer chain.
