N2 - Useful information on interactions and motion of guest molecules in sodalite cavities is obtained by estimating the spin-lattice and spin-echo decay rates of encapsulated Br- ions. An extremely fast spin-lattice relaxation rate is observed for 81Br nuclei, adjacent to Br--empty cages which contain rapidly tumbling water molecules. We detect a further significant different T1 of the 81Br in Na8Br2-sodalite and Ag8Br2-sodalite, respectively, which probably indicates a less restricted motion within the cavities of the Ag+-exchanged material. Spin-echo decay experiments additionally indicate a difference between the dynamic properties of the Br- anion in the encapsulated Na4Br and Ag4Br clusters, respectively.
