52. Diluting reduces the dipolar coupling strongly, as it decreases with the third power of the distance between the nuclei. In contrast, the hyperfine coupling is proportional to the density of nuclei and thus for a one-dimensional (two-dimensional) system only decreases with the first (second) power of the distance between the nuclei.
