Direct NMR observation of copper-63/65 nuclei in solid K3Cu(CN)4 provides the first experimental example of anisotropic copper chemical shielding. Axially symmetric by virtue of the space group symmetry, the shielding tensor spans 42 ppm, with the greatest shielding when the unique axis is perpendicular to the applied magnetic field. The nuclear quadrupole coupling constant is also appreciable, CQ(63Cu) = -1.125 MHz, reflecting a deviation of the Cu(CN)43- anion from pure tetrahedral symmetry. Spin-spin coupling to 13C nuclei in an isotopically enriched sample is quantified by line-shape simulations of both 13C and 63/65Cu magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra to be 300 Hz. It is shown that this information is also directly available by 63/65Cu triple-quantum (3Q) MAS NMR. The relative merits of these three approaches to characterizing spin-spin couplings involving half-integer quadrupolar nuclei are discussed. Chemical shielding tensors for nitrogen-15 and carbon-13 are obtained from NMR spectra of non-spinning samples, and are compared to those of tetrahedral group 12 tetracyanometallates. Finally, 2J(63/65Cu,15N) detected in 15N MAS experiments are found to be 19 and 20 Hz for the two crystallographically distinct cyanide ligands.Key words: NMR, quadrupolar nucleus, chemical shielding tensor, multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning, metal cyanide, spin-spin coupling.

Abstract A comparison of high-resolution NMR methods for quadrupolar nuclei is presented. The samples studied are pure and modified boron oxide glasses, and the boron NMR spectra are recorded using three different experiments capable of high resolution: Double Rotation, Dynamic Angle Spinning, and Multiple-Quantum Magic Angle Spinning. Resolution of the similar ring and nonring boron sites in these glasses, in the presence of disorder, provides a realistic study of the strengths and limitations of these experiments. Conclusions about the relative applicability of these experiments in different situations are presented.

The solid-state 119Sn cross-polarization (CP) magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra of a series of triaryltin chlorides of the form Ar3SnCl have been acquired. The indirect spin-spin coupling constants (J(119Sn-35Cl)), quadrupolar-dipolar shifts (d(119Sn-35Cl)), and the 119Sn chemical shift tensors were extracted. For the spectrum of triphenyltin chloride (I) the validity of the first-order perturbation approximation was tested by comparing results of both the perturbation and cubic-equation approaches and a variable-temperature NMR study undertaken to investigate the influence of the previously reported molecular motion in the solid. The X-ray crystal structures of the tris(o-tolyl)tin chloride (II) and tris(p-tolyl)tin chloride (IV) complexes have been examined. They belong to the monoclinic and triclinic space groups P21/n and P[Formula: see text], respectively, which are different from the previously reported tris(m-tolyl)tin chloride (III) complex, which crystallizes in the space group R3 and has threefold molecular symmetry. The structures and NMR properties of the complexes with meta-substituents are quite different from those with ortho- or para-substituents having axially symmetric shift tensors with small spans and larger J values.Key words: aryltin chlorides, magic angle spinning NMR, tin-chlorine spin-spin coupling, 119Sn chemical shift tensor, crystal structure.

Sodium valproate is a pharmaceutical with applications in the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and other ailments. Sodium valproate can exist in many hydrated and acid-stabilized forms in the solid state, and it can be difficult to obtain precise structural information about many of these. Here, we present a 13C and 23Na solid-state NMR study of several forms of sodium valproate, only one of which has been previously structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 23Na magic-angle spinning (MAS), double-rotation (DOR), and multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning (MQMAS) NMR spectra are shown to provide useful information on the number of molecules in the asymmetric unit, the local coordination geometry of the sodium cations, and the presence of amorphous phases. Two previously identified forms are shown to be highly similar, or identical, according to the 23Na NMR data. The utility of carrying out both DOR and MQMAS NMR experiments to identify all crystallographically unique sites is demonstrated. 13C cross-polarization MAS NMR spectra also provide complementary information on the number of molecules in the asymmetric unit and the crystallinity of the sample.
