33. 3. After a clear and uniform solution was obtained by shaking, five freeze and thaw cycles were performed and the sample tube was sealed to ensure constant conditions for the NMR experiments at different field strengths.

35. 2H NMR spectra were acquired on Bruker instruments: DRX-400, DRX-600 (both equipped with a 5 mm BBO probe), and Avance 700 (equipped with a 5 mm TBI probe) without a frequency lock, which was not necessary due to the good stability of our instruments.
36. 6 was monitored after at least 20 min and the temperature of the control unit adjusted so as to give the same chemical shift difference on every spectrometer; cf.: van Geet, A. L. Anal. Chem. 1968, 40, 2227-29.

43. Minimizing was performed as follows: all dihedrals of the carbon framework were kept constant, and interatomic distances and bond angles to protons were allowed to be altered during a molecular mechanics calculation (force field: MM94).
44. Strychnine is rather rigid, and therefore only one alignment tensor has to be determined for this molecule.
