O NMR methods are emerging as a powerful tool for determination of structure and dynamics in materials and biological solids. We present experimental and theoretical frameworks for measurements of O NMR relaxation times in static solids focusing on the excitation of the central transition of the O spin 5/2 system. We employ O-enriched NaNO as a model compound, in which the nitrate oxygen atoms undergo 3-fold jumps.
