The 13C chemical shift tensors of two crystalline forms of glucose (α-glucose and α-glucose·H2O) were determined from one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy experiments. The experimental values determined from 1D and 2D methods are in very good agreement. Quantum chemical calculations were also carried out using the gauge-including projector augmented wave (GIPAW) method for plane-wave density functional theory (DFT) as implemented in the CAmbridge Serial Total Energy Package (CASTEP). The calculated 13C chemical shifts were found to be in excellent agreement with experimental values for crystal structures that had their hydrogen atoms optimized and after an appropriate calibration was applied to convert calculated chemical shieldings into chemical shifts. The work presented here lays an important foundation for future solid-state NMR and quantum chemical calculation investigations of the various crystalline forms of cellulose.

We report synthesis of 17O-labeling and solid-state 17O NMR measurements of three N-acyl imidazoles of the type R-C(17O)-Im: R = p-methoxycinnamoyl (MCA-Im), R = 4-(dimethylamino)benzoyl (DAB-Im), and R = 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl (TMB-Im). Solid-state 17O NMR experiments allowed us to determine for the first time the 17O quadrupole coupling and chemical shift tensors in this class of organic compounds. We also determined the crystal structures of these compounds using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structures show that, while the C(O)–N amide bond in DAB-Im exhibits a small twist, those in MCA-Im and TMB-Im are essentially planar. We found that, in these N-acyl imidazoles, the 17O quadrupole coupling and chemical shift tensors depend critically on the torsion angle between the conjugated acyl group and the C(O)–N amide plane. The computational results from a plane-wave DFT approach, which takes into consideration the entire crystal lattice, are in excellent agreement with the experimental solid-state 17O NMR results. Quantum chemical computations also show that the dependence of 17O NMR parameters on the Ar–C(O) bond rotation is very similar to that previously observed for the C(O)–N bond rotation in twisted amides. We conclude that one should be cautious in linking the observed NMR chemical shifts only to the twist of the C(O)–N amide bond.

Quantum-chemical calculation of the molecular structures of potential isomeric (NNNN)- donoratomic macrocyclic tetradentate ligands, cis- and trans-di[benzo]porphyrazines, was carried out using the density functional theory (DFT) B3PW91/TZVP. It is noted that the first of these compounds can exist in four forms [so-called ([Formula: see text]-isomers], differing from each other by the mutual orientation of hydrogen atoms bonded to the nitrogen atoms, while the second compounds take the form of two similar isomers. The values of the most important bond lengths, bond and non-bond angles in each of these ([Formula: see text] -isomeric compounds, as well as the values of their relative energy, standard enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy of formation are presented. It was found that the most stable among both cis- and trans-di[benzo]porphyrazines is the ([Formula: see text]-isomer with the trans-orientation of hydrogen atoms bonded to nitrogen atoms, while the ([Formula: see text] -isomers with cis-oriented hydrogen atoms for both of these compounds had significantly higher relative energies.

The solid-state CP MAS (29Si, 119Sn, and 207Pb) NMR spectra of the triphenylsilyl-, triphenyltin-, and triphenyllead(pentacarbonyl)manganese(I) complexes, (Ph3E)Mn(CO)5 (E = Si, Sn, Pb), have been analyzed to give the chemical shifts, one-bond spin-spin coupling constants, 1JE-Mn, the "effective-dipolar" coupling constants (D - ΔJ/3), the chemical shift tensors, and the spin-spin anisotropy (ΔJ), where the analysis permits. For the tin and lead compounds, three and four sets of chemical shifts, respectively, were observed, and two different polymorphs occur for the lead complex, depending on the solvent used for recrystallization. The average values of the reduced coupling constants, 1KMn-Si (2.64 × 1020 T2 J-1), 1KSn-Mn (1.25 × 1020 T2 J-1), and 1KPb-Mn (4.18 × 1020 T2 J-1) showed a linear correlation with the s-electron densities at the respective metal nuclei. The principal components of the chemical shift tensors have been determined for the tin and lead compounds.Key words: manganese-group-14 compounds, solid-state 29Si, 119Sn, and 207Pb CP MAS NMR, spin-spin coupling, chemical shift anisotropy, quadrupole coupling.

Quadrupolar Coupling

17O solid-state NMR studies of waters of hydration in crystalline solids are presented. The 17O quadrupolar coupling and chemical shift (CS) tensors, and their relative orientations, are measured experimentally at room temperature for α-oxalic acid dihydrate, barium chlorate monohydrate, lithium sulfate monohydrate, potassium oxalate monohydrate, and sodium perchlorate monohydrate. The 17O quadrupolar coupling constants (CQ) range from 6.6 to 7.35 MHz and the isotropic chemical shifts range from –17 to 19.7 ppm. The oxygen CS tensor spans vary from 25 to 78 ppm. These represent the first complete CS and electric field gradient tensor measurements for water coordinated to metals in the solid state. Gauge-including projector-augmented wave density functional theory calculations overestimate the values of CQ, likely due to librational dynamics of the water molecules. Computed CS tensors only qualitatively match the experimental data. The lack of strong correlations between the experimental and computed data, and between these data and any single structural feature, is attributed to motion of the water molecules and to the relatively small overall range in the NMR parameters relative to their measurement precision. Nevertheless, the isotropic chemical shift, quadrupolar coupling constant, and CS tensor span clearly differentiate between the samples studied and establish a ‘fingerprint’ 17O spectral region for water coordinated to metals in solids.

Isotropic Chemical Shifts

We review contributions made towards the elucidation of CO and O 2 binding geometries in respiratory proteins. Nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and quantum chemistry have all been used to investigate the Fe –ligand interactions. Early experimental results showed linear correlations between 17 O chemical shifts and the infrared stretching frequency (νCO) of the CO ligand in carbonmonoxyheme proteins and between the 17 O chemical shift and the 13CO shift. These correlations led to early theoretical investigations of the vibrational frequency of carbon monoxide and of the 13 C and 17 O NMR chemical shifts in the presence of uniform and non-uniform electric fields. Early success in modeling these spectroscopic observables then led to the use of computational methods, in conjunction with experiment, to evaluate ligand-binding geometries in heme proteins. Density functional theory results are described which predict 57 Fe chemical shifts and Mössbauer electric field gradient tensors, 17 O NMR isotropic chemical shifts, chemical shift tensors and nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (e2qQ/h) as well as 13 C isotropic chemical shifts and chemical shift tensors in organometallic clusters, heme model metalloporphyrins and in metalloproteins. A principal result is that CO in most heme proteins has an essentially linear and untilted geometry (τ = 4 °, β = 7 °) which is in extremely good agreement with a recently published X-ray synchrotron structure. CO / O 2 discrimination is thus attributable to polar interactions with the distal histidine residue, rather than major Fe–C–O geometric distortions.

Nitroimidazoles and derivatives are a class of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) first introduced sixty years ago. As anti-infection agents, the structure–activity relationships of nitroimidazole compounds have been particularly difficult to study due to their low reduction potentials and unique electronic structures. In this study, we combine dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP)-enhanced solid-state (100K), solid-state (298K), and 1H-13C heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) solution-state NMR techniques (303K) with density functional theory (DFT) to study the 1H, 13C, and 15N chemical shifts of 4-nitroimidazole (4-NI) and 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazole (CH3-4NI). The 4-NI chemical shifts were observed at 119.4, 136.4, and 144.7ppm for 13C, and at 181.5, 237.4, and 363.0ppm for 15N. The measurements revealed that methylation (deprotonation) of the amino nitrogen N(1) of 4-NI had less effect (Δδ=−4.8ppm) on the N(1) chemical shift but was compensated by shielding of the N(3) (Δδ=11.6ppm) in CH3-4NI. The calculated chemical shifts using DFT for 4-NI and CH3-4NI agreed well with the experimental values (within 2%) for the imidazole carbons. However, larger discrepancies (up to 13%) were observed between the calculated and measured 15N NMR chemical shifts for the imidazole nitrogen atoms of both molecules, which indicate that effects such as imidazole ring resonant structures and molecular dynamics may also contribute to the nitrogen chemical environment.
