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.
