As an illustration of the rotational effect of the side chain, C
8 rotation of the three proton system like the CH
8 group is discussed with the aid of the diffusion equation under a threefold hindering potential. The correlation time τ
c of NMR is obtained in high and low temperature approximations, respectively.
T2 and
T1 are given in terms of τ
c, and experimental data of
T2 for polyisobutylene obtained by Powles are analyzed through the present theory.
