What Are the Relative Intensities of the Components of NMR Spectral Multiplets from Quadrupolar Nuclei in Uniformly Anisotropic Media?

Stretched hydrogels make uniformly anisotropic environments for quadrupolar nuclei such as 2H, 23Na, and 133Cs. Such surroundings cause the partial alignment of nuclear spin bearing ions molecules that is sufficiently pronounced to alter magnetic resonance spectra guest species. In most cases, splittings are directly related quantum number I. The relative intensities components multiplets can be inferred from basic mechanics.
