The authors have analyzed the ¹³C spin-lattice relaxation of CO chemisorbed on supported Pt particles. They fit their relaxation data with a minimum set of relaxation times (T₁) ranging from 0.009 to 6 s at 77 K. They find that each T₁ component is inversely proportional to the temperature, but that some T₁ components do not satisfy the Korringa relationship. They express the relaxation by conduction electrons in terms of tight-binding coefficients and evaluate the amount of mixing of the CO orbitals with the Pt conduction bands to account for the observed T₁. They also analyze data for CO on Ir and Pd.
