1 Introduction
The second moment of the NMR spectral line broadeneddue to the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction has beenyielded by Van Vleck as one of the main probes of hinderedmolecular motion (HMM) in crystalline substances [1] Asthe magnitude of the second moment depends rigorouslyon geometrical and physical peculiarities of nuclear motionmeasuring the second moment allows one to test variousmodels of HMM taking place in condensed matter
At present three principal model diversities of localHMM exist the rotational diffusion model (RDM) the fixedangular jumpmodel (FAJM) and the extended angular jumpmodel (EAJM) [2 3] Using RDMshown to be very successfulby describing HMM happened in liquids [4ndash7] FAJM workssufficiently well in isotropic media of powders [8ndash10] Atlast the EAJM is appropriated for exploring the HMM ofsymmetrical molecules in any condensed molecular mediasingle crystals powders and liquids It was fruitfully appliedto discuss the broadened lines of incoherent scattering of
neutrons dielectric and infrared absorption Raman scat-tering of light and the rates of nuclear magnetic relaxationin mono- and polycrystalline molecular media [2 3] Thispaper is devoted to expanding EAJM approach to simulatethe second moment of NMR-absorption line broadeneddue to the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction in condensedmolecular media It is dedicated also to showing that theintramolecular part of the second moment is sensitive tosymmetry breakdown effect in the HMM As an applicationwe revise the experimental data of Bersohn and Gutowskyconcerning the 2nd moment of the proton spectral linein the single crystal of ammonium chloride [11] A newinterpretation of the data follows the tetragonal distortedsite symmetry of NH

determined with respect to CRFAt sufficiently low temperatures a regime of rigid lattice
is valid in molecular crystals At high temperatures (T gt

Such motion changes a spectral distribution law of NMRsignals Therefore the simulation of a second moment formolecular substances has to be performed by accounting forintramolecular nuclei as well as intermolecular ones

There are two equilibrium dispositions of NH4

1and 1199022by using experimental values of 119872(intra)

Themean value of the secondmoment at low temperature(minus195∘C) that is in the ordered phase has been determinedfor direction of the induction vector of the external staticmagnetic field chosen along the fourfold symmetry axis inthe unit cell of NH
4Cl (B
0 [1 0 0]) equal to 365 Gs2
and along the twofold symmetry axis (B0
[1 1 0])mdash546Gs2 [11] The respective high temperature values wereequal to 66Gs2 and 26Gs2 Because of the fact that theintraionic part of the second moment decreases down tozero at high temperatures we suggest that the respectivevalues of the second moment consist of the interionic partsonly Taking into account just presented point of view aboutthe experimental second moments we can assume that thedifference between low and high temperature values of thetotal secondmoment can be considered as the pure intraionicparts for low temperature second moments Performing theappropriate calculations we get the experimental values ofthe intraionic second moments 119872
(intraexp)2
equal to 299Gs2
and 52Gs2 for directions of magnetic field induction B0
[1 0 0] and B0 [1 1 0] respectively
By substituting in (26) firstly 119872(intraexp)2
= 299Gs2 120601
= 1205874 and 120599 = 0 and then 119872(intraexp)2
= 52Gs2 120601 = 1205874and 120599 = 1205872 we get the experimental values of dynamic
weights 1199021and 1199022 1199021= 0254 and 119902
2= 0757 These values of
dynamic weights of two-dimensional and three-dimensionalirreducible representations for tetrahedron point symmetrygroup of ammonium ion motion in the ordered phase ofNH4Cl are in good agreement with our data 119902
1= 025 and
1199022= 073 derived from proton NMR relaxation experiments
earlier [12] It results in the tetragonal distorted tetrahedralsite symmetry of ammonium ions in the ordered phase ofNH4Cl It is noted that no anisotropy is predicted neither
for the intraionic second moment no for the spin-latticerelaxation rates in the ideal cubic symmetry position In thiscase 119902

Themean value of the secondmoment at low temperature(minus195∘C) that is in the ordered phase has been determinedfor direction of the induction vector of the external staticmagnetic field chosen along the fourfold symmetry axis inthe unit cell of NH
4Cl (B
0 [1 0 0]) equal to 365 Gs2
and along the twofold symmetry axis (B0
[1 1 0])mdash546Gs2 [11] The respective high temperature values wereequal to 66Gs2 and 26Gs2 Because of the fact that theintraionic part of the second moment decreases down tozero at high temperatures we suggest that the respectivevalues of the second moment consist of the interionic partsonly Taking into account just presented point of view aboutthe experimental second moments we can assume that thedifference between low and high temperature values of thetotal secondmoment can be considered as the pure intraionicparts for low temperature second moments Performing theappropriate calculations we get the experimental values ofthe intraionic second moments 119872
(intraexp)2
equal to 299Gs2
and 52Gs2 for directions of magnetic field induction B0
[1 0 0] and B0 [1 1 0] respectively
By substituting in (26) firstly 119872(intraexp)2

[1 1 0])mdash546Gs2 [11] The respective high temperature values wereequal to 66Gs2 and 26Gs2 Because of the fact that theintraionic part of the second moment decreases down tozero at high temperatures we suggest that the respectivevalues of the second moment consist of the interionic partsonly Taking into account just presented point of view aboutthe experimental second moments we can assume that thedifference between low and high temperature values of thetotal secondmoment can be considered as the pure intraionicparts for low temperature second moments Performing theappropriate calculations we get the experimental values ofthe intraionic second moments 119872

By summing (23) and (24) we get the expression of fullintraionic part119872(intra)

The theoretical dependence of 119872(intra)2
the intraioniccontribution to the second moment of proton NMR spectralline in monocrystalline ammonium chloride prescribed by(26) allows us to calculate the numbering values of dynamicweights 119902
1and 1199022by using experimental values of 119872(intra)

Themean value of the secondmoment at low temperature(minus195∘C) that is in the ordered phase has been determinedfor direction of the induction vector of the external staticmagnetic field chosen along the fourfold symmetry axis inthe unit cell of NH
4Cl (B
0 [1 0 0]) equal to 365 Gs2
and along the twofold symmetry axis (B0
[1 1 0])mdash546Gs2 [11] The respective high temperature values wereequal to 66Gs2 and 26Gs2 Because of the fact that theintraionic part of the second moment decreases down tozero at high temperatures we suggest that the respectivevalues of the second moment consist of the interionic partsonly Taking into account just presented point of view aboutthe experimental second moments we can assume that thedifference between low and high temperature values of thetotal secondmoment can be considered as the pure intraionicparts for low temperature second moments Performing theappropriate calculations we get the experimental values ofthe intraionic second moments 119872
(intraexp)2
equal to 299Gs2
and 52Gs2 for directions of magnetic field induction B0
[1 0 0] and B0 [1 1 0] respectively
By substituting in (26) firstly 119872(intraexp)2
= 299Gs2 120601
= 1205874 and 120599 = 0 and then 119872(intraexp)2
= 52Gs2 120601 = 1205874and 120599 = 1205872 we get the experimental values of dynamic
weights 1199021and 1199022 1199021= 0254 and 119902

dynamic weights of two-dimensional and three-dimensionalirreducible representations for tetrahedron point symmetrygroup of ammonium ion motion in the ordered phase ofNH4Cl are in good agreement with our data 119902

for the intraionic second moment no for the spin-latticerelaxation rates in the ideal cubic symmetry position In thiscase 119902

4 Conclusion
The presented approach of simulating the intramolecularcontribution to the second moment of NMR spectral lineallows one to perform an accurate analysis of dynamicsand geometry of internal motion It requires using theextended angular jump model by approximating the
