The thermal, physical, and molecular dynamics of layered hybrid type (C2H5NH3)2MCl4 (M = 59Co, 63Cu, 65Zn, and 113Cd) crystals were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy. The temperatures of the onset of partial thermal decomposition were found to depend on the identity of M. In addition, the Bloembergen–Purcell–Pound curves for the 1H spin-lattice relaxation time T1ρ in the rotating frames of CH3CH2 and NH3, and for the 13C T1ρ of CH3 and CH2 were shown to exhibit minima as a function of the inverse temperature. These results confirmed the rotational motion of 1H and 13C in the C2H5NH3 cation. Finally, the T1ρ values and activation energies Ea obtained from the 1H measurements for the H‒Cl···M (M = Zn and Cd) bond in the absence of paramagnetic ions were larger than those obtained for the H‒Cl···M (M = Co and Cu) bond in the presence of paramagnetic ions. Moreover, the Ea value for 13C, which is distant from the M ions, was found to decrease upon increasing the mass of the M ion, unlike in the case of the Ea values for 1H.

ABSTRACTWe have used 13C magic-angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to characterize the structure and rotational dynamics of C60 containing oxygen molecules located in the interstitial sites of the fcc lattice. Under normal conditions, a narrow peak at 143.7 ppm is observed for C60. When exposed to oxygen at moderate pressures, several additional resonances appear in the 13C MAS NMR spectrum. These secondary resonances are shifted downfield from the main peak at 143.7 ppm and are due to the Fermi-contact interaction of the paramagnetic oxygen molecules with the 13C nuclear spins. The presence of oxygen depresses the orientational ordering transition by ca. 20 K as observed by DSC. The spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) of each secondary peak shows a minimum near the ordering transition, indicating that this transition is not dependent on the number of oxygen molecules surrounding an individual C60 molecule. The T1 due to paramagnetic relaxation, normalized by the number of surrounding oxygen molecules, is constant. This observation demonstrates that within a given sample, the dynamics of C60 molecules are independent of the number of surrounding oxygen molecules.

In this paper, we report on an entirely novel way of improving the MAS-DNP efficiency by shaped μw pulse train irradiation for fast and broad-banded (FAB) saturation of the electron spin resonance. FAB-DNP achieved with Arbitrary Wave Generated shaped μw pulse trains facilitates effective and selective saturation of a defined fraction of the total electron spins, and provides superior control over the DNP efficiency under MAS. Experimental and quantum-mechanics based numerically simulated results together demonstrate that FAB-DNP significantly outperforms CW-DNP when the EPR-line of PAs is broadened by conformational distribution and exchange coupling. We demonstrate that the maximum benefit of FAB DNP is achieved when the electron spin-lattice relaxation is fast relative to the MAS frequency, i.e. at higher temperatures and/or when employing metals as PAs. Calculations predict that under short T<sub>1e </sub>conditions AWG-DNP can achieve as much as ~4-fold greater enhancement compared to CW-DNP.


The nuclear magnetic resonance absorption spectrum and the spin-lattice relaxation time have been measured for the protons in three isotopic species of benzene in polycrystalline form between 75 and 278° K. The three species were C 6 H 6 , C 6 H 5 D and 1. 3. 5 - C 6 H 3 D 3 . For all three species the measured spectrum has its full rigid lattice width below 90° K. A method of analysis is developed which makes it possible to derive separately the intramolecular and the intermolecular contributions to the second moment (mean square width) of the spectrum from the measured second moments, without the necessity of knowing the crystal structure. From the intramolecular contribution it is found that the separation of neighbouring protons in the C 6 H 6 molecule is 2.495 ± 0.018 Å. The intermolecular contribution is in agreement with a value calculated from a knowledge of the crystal structure. On warming from 90 to 120°K the spectrum for all three species narrows considerably. From 120°K to the melting-point (278.7° K) the second moments remain almost constant. The second moment separation procedure is also applied in this range and leads to the conclusion that the narrowing is caused by reorientation of the molecules about their hexad axes in the crystal lattice. Analysis of the measurements of the spin-lattice relaxation time shows that for all three species the reorientation process is governed by an activation energy of 3.7 ± 0.2 kcal/mole. The reorientation frequency is of the order of 10 4 c/s at 85° K and rises to a value of the order of 10 11 c/s just below the melting-point. The relationship between the present experimental results and recent measurements of the Raman spectrum of solid benzene is discussed. Finally, consideration is given to the application to other materials of methods of separating the intra- and intermolecular contributions to the second moment.
