Abstract: The proton spin-lattice relaxation time of a CH2D2 molecule is calculated. The tunnel splittings are assumed to be much larger than the Zeeman energy. The dependence of the relaxation efficiency on the site symmetry is examined. The results are compared with experimental T1 values in the solid phases of CH2D2. Contrary to CH4 and CD4, the symmetry of the crystal field has no influence on the relaxation rate. The calculated relaxation rate is lower than experimentally observed, which indicates that some of the energy levels coincide.
