The proton nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate in the molecular “ferric wheel” (Fe10) is calculated in the framework of the linear response theory, starting from the unperturbed eigenvalues and eigenstates of the magnetic ring. The dipole-dipole superhyperfine interaction between the proton nuclear spins and the electronic spins of the magnetic ions is shown to induce transitions between states which differ by 1 both in the quantum number S (the total spin of the ring) and in M (the projection of the total spin along the quantization axis). The theory predicts that level crossing between the states and induced by an applied magnetic field should be accompanied by a strong enhancement of , in good agreement with recent low-temperature NMR experimental data on Fe10.
