The validity of the technique is investigated for the cases of a time-independent field gradient and a gradient consisting of two pulses of finite duration. It is found that the validity is governed by the ratio of two characteristic times: the time for the spins to traverse the dimensions of the confining space through diffusion and the reciprocal of the extreme difference between values of the precession frequency of the spin. Oscillations in the time evolution of the signal for the constant gradient, as well as oscillations in the (gradient) field dependence for the two-pulse gradient, which are both characteristic of the exact signals, are predicted by the new technique but not by the cumulant technique.

The theoretical approach closely follows P.-O. Westlund [<em>Mol. Phys.</em>85, 1165–1178 (1995)]. In the nonextreme-narrowing regime for the electron spin system, three correction terms to the traditional MSBM equations arise. They are all derived in closed analytical form to give the generalized equations in a simple and convenient form: MSBM × (1 + correction). The ESR lineshape function for<em>S</em>= 7/2 is also given in closed analytical form. A number of proton<em>T</em><sub>1</sub>NMRD profiles representing different Gd(III) complexes are investigated, using a spectral density function of the transient ZFS interaction which allows for two relaxation times. For Gd–macromolecular complexes the largest deviation from the traditional MSBM theory may be about 15.2%, but for the parameter sets investigated the corrections were about 2–3%. A computer program is developed which calculates the NMRD profile and the ESR lineshape (X band or Q band) for the set of model parameters. These parameters describe the electron spin system in terms of Δ<sub>t</sub>(the root-mean-square value of the transient ZFS interaction) and τ<sub>v1</sub>, τ<sub>v2</sub>, and<em>S</em><sub>0</sub>(correlation times and an order parameter of the transient ZFS correlation function).
