We report an analysis of the 13C solid-state NMR chemical shift data in a series of four cocrystals involving two active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) mimics (caffeine and theophylline) and two diacid coformers (malonic acid and glutaric acid). Within this controlled set, we make comparisons of the isotropic chemical shifts and the principal values of the chemical shift tensor. The dispersion at 14.1 T (600 MHz 1H) shows crystallographic splittings in some of the resonances in the magic angle spinning spectra. By comparing the isotropic chemical shifts of individual C atoms across the four cocrystals, we are able to identify pronounced effects on the local electronic structure at some sites. We perform a similar analysis of the principal values of the chemical shift tensors for the anisotropic C atoms (most of the ring C atoms for the API mimics and the carbonyl C atoms of the diacid coformers) and link them to differences in the known crystal structures. We discuss the future prospects for extending this type of study to incorporate the full chemical shift tensor, including its orientation in the crystal frame of reference.

Beryllium-9 (9Be) quadrupolar coupling and chemical shift tensor data are reported for bis(1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-2-ylidene)beryllium (Be(CAAC)2). These are the first such data for beryllium in a linear dicoordinate environment. The 9Be quadrupolar coupling constant, 2.36(0.02) MHz, is the largest recorded in the solid state to date for this isotope. The span of the beryllium chemical shift tensor, 22(2) ppm, covers about half of the known 9Be chemical shift range, and the isotropic 9Be chemical shift, 32.0(0.3) ppm, is the largest reported in the solid state to our knowledge. DFT calculations reproduce the experimental data well. A natural localized molecular orbital approach has been used to explain the origins and orientation of the beryllium electric field gradient tensor. The single-crystal X-ray structure of a second polymorph of Be(CAAC)2 is also reported. Inspection of the powder X-ray diffraction data shows that the new crystal structure is part of the bulk product next to another crystalline phase. Therefore, experimental X-ray powder data for the microcrystalline powder sample and the SSNMR data do not fully match either the originally reported crystal structure (Arrowsmith et al. Nat. Chem. 2016, 8, 890–894) or the new polymorph. The ability of solid-state NMR and powder X-ray diffraction to characterize powdered samples was thus particularly useful in this work.

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is one of the most widely used methods for investigating crystal structures, along with the X-ray and neutron diffraction methods. Solid-state NMR can provide structural information including isotropic chemical shift, dipolar and quadrupolar couplings, spin diffusion, and chemical shift tensor. Among these, the chemical shift tensor is of particular significance because the electronic environment around a nucleus is directly reflected on the chemical shift tensor. However, full information of the chemical shift tensor, including principal values and axes, is difficult to obtain experimentally because a large single crystal is required for the measurement. On the other hand, we have proposed the use of a magnetically oriented microcrystal array (MOMA) as an alternative to a single crystal.[1,2] A MOMA is a composite in which microcrystals are aligned three-dimensionally, prepared by using a time-dependent magnetic field. We recently demonstrated that the13C chemical shift tensors of L-alanine crystal can be completely determined by application of the standard procedure in the single-crystal rotation method to a MOMA of L-alanine microcrystals,[3] as shown in Figure 1. The L-alanine MOMA produces sharp resonance peaks without resolution enhancement by magic angle spinning (MAS). In addition, we observed that the positions of the13C resonance peaks vary systematically as a function of the angle ψ that is the sample-rotation angle about the axis inclined by the magic angle with respect to the NMR magnetic field. From the ψ-dependence of the chemical shifts,13C chemical shift tensor was completely determined. We confirmed that the combination of MOMA with the single-crystal rotation method can be applied to other nuclei such as31P and15N. These results clearly show that the MOMA method is a powerful tool for obtaining full information of the chemical shift tensor from a microcrystalline powder without MAS.
