The dynamics of bulk toluene and toluene confined in the 1.2-O-(1-ethylpropylidene)-alpha-D-glucofuranose gel was studied using H-1 field-cycling nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry. The proton spin-lattice relaxation time 7(1) was measured as a function of the magnetic field strength and temperature. The observed dispersion in the frequency range 10(4)-10(6) Hz for the relaxation rate of toluene in the gel system give evidence of the interaction between the toluene and the gelator aggregates. The data were interpreted in terms of the two-fraction fast-exchange model. Additionally it was also shown that a cooling rate during gel preperation process influences the gel microstructure and leads to different gelator-solvent interactions as reflected in a different behavior of the proton spin-lattice relaxation rate of toluene within the gel observed at the low frequency range.
