The results of a 35/37Cl solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) study of the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride complex of meso-octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole (1) are reported. Line shapes obtained from magic-angle-spinning and stationary powder samples collected at 9.4 and 21.1 T are analyzed to provide the 35/37Cl quadrupolar tensor and chemical shift (CS) tensor and their relative orientation. The relatively high symmetry of the chloride ion coordination environment is manifested in the small value of the quadrupole coupling constant, CQ(35Cl) = 1.0 MHz. The isotropic chemical shift of 120 ppm (with respect to NaCl(s)) is at the upper edge of the typical range seen for organic hydrochlorides. Consideration of chemical shift anisotropy (span, Ω = 50 ppm) and non-coincidence of the quadrupolar and CS tensors were essential to properly simulate the experimental spectra. The utility of gauge-including projector-augmented wave density functional theory (GIPAW-DFT) calculations of chlorine quadrupolar and CS tensors in organic chlorides was explored by validation against available benchmark experimental data for solid amino acid hydrochlorides. The calculations are shown to systematically overestimate the value of the 35Cl quadrupole coupling constant. Additional calculations on various hydrated and solvated models of 1 are consistent with a structure in which solvent and water of hydration are absent.

Temperature-dependent NMR experiments are often complicated by rather long magnetic-field equilibration times, for example occurring upon a change of sample temperature. We demonstrate that the fast temporal stabilization of the magnetic field can be achieved by actively stabilizing the temperature which allows to quantify the weak temperature dependence of the proton chemical shift which can be diagnostic for the presence of hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonding plays a central role in molecular recognition events from both fields, chemistry and biology. Their direct detection by standard structure determination techniques, such as X-ray crystallography or cryo-electron microscopy, remains challenging due to the difficulties of approaching the required resolution, on the order of 1 Å. We herein explore a spectroscopic approach using solid-state NMR to identify protons engaged in hydrogen bonds and explore the measurement of proton chemical-shift temperature coefficients. Using the examples of a phosphorylated amino acid and the protein ubiquitin, we show that fast Magic-Angle Spinning (MAS) experiments at 100 kHz yield sufficient resolution in proton-detected spectra to quantify the rather small chemical-shift changes upon temperature variations.<br>

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.

The 71Ga NMR spectra of Ga[GaX4] melts and of solutions in benzene and other hydrocarbons show discrete sharp GaI and broad GaIII resonances. In the light of recent structure determinations, the solution GaI signals must be attributed to bis(arene)Ga+ complexes in which the gallium atom is η6-bonded to the hydrocarbons. The low line widths and strong high field shifts are attributed to an almost spherical shielding of the metal nucleus by the 4 s2 electrons. Solid state 69Ga and 71Ga NMR spectra of Ga[GaCl4] crystalline powder show only Ga1 resonances. While the 71GaI line is rather narrow, the 69GaI line has a complex fine structure. Consistent with the crystal structure of Ga[GaCl4], the Ga1 ion is calculated to have a very low quadrupole coupling constant e2q Q/h = 1.7 ± 0.1 MHz and an asymmetry parameter η = 0.44. Experimental and simulated line shapes (using literature models) are in satisfactory agreement, implying that the 69Ga signal splitting is due to second order quadrupolar effects for the central m = + 1/2 ⇋ - 1/2 transition. The analogous splitting of the 71Ga NMR line is too small to be detected.

The solid state 59Co nmr spectra of a number of octahedral complexes are reported. In the case of sodium hexanitrocobaltate(III) the spectra have been obtained at several different field strengths and the results are analysed to give a quadrupole coupling constant of 9.4 MHz, an asymmetry parameter of zero and an axial chemical shift tensor with an anisotropy of 180 ppm. Several other complexes have been examined at high field (11.8 T) to minimize the effects of quadrupole coupling and maximize the influence of chemical shift anisotropy. The results are, where possible, compared with single crystal X-ray and low field nmr data. It is concluded that high fields are necessary to obtain reliable chemical shift anisotropy values. The conditions necessary for obtaining reasonable quality spectra from polycrystalline samples containing quadrupolar nuclei are discussed.

Dopant Atoms

Based upon density functional theory, we investigate the influence of oxygen dopant atoms that make a boroxol ring on the electrostatic properties of a zigzag (10, 0) boron nitride nanotube in which three of the nitrogen atoms are replaced by oxygen dopant atoms. The electric field gradient (EFG) tensors at the sites of 11B and 14N nuclei were calculated and converted to quadrupole coupling constants (CQ) in the two models of a perfect and a boroxol ring O-doped (10, 0) single-walled boron nitride nanotube (BNNT). Our calculations showed that the CQ values of the boron and nitrogen nuclei along the length of a perfect BNNT are divided into layers. Among the layers the mouth layers have the largest CQ magnitudes. In the doped model, in addition to the mouth layers, the CQ values of those nitrogen nuclei which directly bond to the boroxol ring are increased. However, the CQ values of the boron nuclei that make the boroxol ring and directly bond to the boroxol ring are decreased.

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.
