The likely motion of the alcohol molecules is rapid libration within a site, plus occasional exchange into an equivalent site related by the inversion symmetry, while the water molecules are more strongly disordered. DFT calculations strongly suggest that the differences in dynamics between the solvates are related to differences in the energetic penalty for reversing the orientation of a solvent molecule.Keywords: droperidol; solid-state NMR; hydrates/solvates; isostructural solvates; solvent dynamics; spin-lattice relaxation; motional broadening; ab initio calculations

Highlights
15 N CP/MAS NMR clearly distinguishes ordered and dynamically disordered systems. Spectral quality is strongly correlated to ABMS broadenings. 2 H MAS NMR provides direct insight into the nature of the solvent motion. DFT calculations help to rationalise the differences in experimental observations.
