The low-field dipole-dipole driven NMR spectra of materials that contain tunnelling molecular groups have been recorded in the frequency domain. The methyl groups in thioanisole and 2-butanone have tunnelling frequencies of 557+or-3 kHz and 491+or-3 kHz respectively. In addition to the sidebands of Delta m=+or-1 and Delta m=+or-2, tunnelling sidebands of Delta m=0 are clearly observed at the tunnel frequency and are reported for the first time. The intensities of all the sidebands are of similar magnitude. The sidebands of Delta m=0 result from transitions induced by the RF field in which the methyl group undergoes a change in tunnelling state without a change in overall spin. Despite this, the sidebands are observed in a plot of proton magnetisation versus frequency. A thermodynamic model is proposed to explain how the change in magnetisation is generated; level crossings encountered as part of the field cycling sequence are responsible for transferring disorder in the tunnel reservoir into disorder in the Zeeman reservoir. Discussion also centres upon the mechanism responsible for driving the transitions revealed in the low-field spectra.
