Longitudinal 1 H, 2 H and 13 C relaxation rates of [ 1 H 8 ]glycerol and [ 2 H 8 ]glycerol have been recorded at 250.13 MHz, 38.27 MHz and 62.89 MHz respectively, over the temperature range 260 to 350 K. In addition, the nuclear Overhauser enhancement factors of 13 C nuclei were recorded, since they depend only on the reorientational dynamics. It proved possible to fit all experimental data to a Cole–Davidson model extended by the Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann temperature dependence and the Lipari–Szabo libration parameter. Separate parameters were obtained for the inner CH and the outer CH 2 groups. The overall picture of glycerol is one of a hydrogen‐bonded liquid, where the outer CH 2 groups perform fast librational motions whereas the inner CH group is rigidly fixed.
