A 2H and 14N NMR study of the solid methylammonium hexahalotellurates, (MA)2TeX6 (MA = CH3ND3+ or CD3NH3+, X = Cl, Br, and I), has been undertaken to characterize the dynamics of the methylammonium (MA) ion as a function of temperature. At room temperature, the MA ion in the hexachlorotellurate (solid II) is confined to C3 jumps about the C—N axis while a small angle libration of the C—N axis is occurring. In the room temperature phase, solid I, of (MA)2TeBr6 and (MA)2TeI6 the MA ions are performing overall reorientations on the ps time scale, averaging the 2H nuclear quadrupolar interactions to zero. Variable temperature 2H NMR spin-lattice relaxation times, T1, indicate an activation energy, EA, for "isotropic" reorientations of the CH3ND3+ ion of 5.2 ± 0.5 and 2.6 ± 0.3 kJ mol−1 for X = Br and I, respectively. Deuterium T1 values for C-deuterated MA ion in the hexaiodotellurate indicate an EA for whole-ion reorientation of 3.1 ± 0.3 kJ mol−1. At any given temperature, the correlation time, τc, derived from the T1 results was found to be the same for the two deuterium-labelled hexaiodotellurates. The similarity of both the EA and the τc values implies correlated motion of the methyl and ammonium groups. The 14N T1 results for solid I of (MA)2TeI6 indicate that C—N axis motions, with an EA = 5.6 ± 0.6 kJ mol−1, are more hindered than N—D or C—D bond dynamics. The 2H NMR spectra for (MA)2TeI6 (solid II) and (MA)2TeBr6 (solids II, III, and IV) are characterized by a Pake doublet line shape. The measured peak-to-peak splittings are less than what is predicted by C3 motion about the molecular symmetry axis. It is possible to model these line shapes by postulating that C3 rotations of the methyl and ammonium groups occur as the C—N axis librates in an effective cone about the position of the static molecular axis. For (CH3ND3)2TeBr6 and (CD3NH3)3TeBr6 the peak-to-peak splittings in the 2H NMR spectra were measured as a function of temperature in solid phases II, III, and IV and were found to be similar. Finally, the 2H NMR line shape relaxation for (MA)2TeBr6 (solid III) displays an orientation dependence indicating that rotations about the C—N axis are discrete rather than diffusive in nature. For solid phase II of (MA)2TeCl6, the line shape is observed to relax isotropically, implying that continuous C3 rotations are taking place. Keywords: 2H and 14N NMR, methylammonium hexahalotellurates, molecular motion.

Two phase transitions of 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol (pCBA) and 4-bromobenzyl alcohol (pBBA), from the low-temperature phase (LTP) to the intermediate-temperature phase (ITP) and from ITP to the room-temperature phase (RTP), were investigated by 2H NMR and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The crystal dynamics in each phase were studied using the 2H NMR spectra, the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) and the relaxation time of quadrupole order (T1Q) for the samples, where the hydrogen of the -OH group was selectively deutrated. The 2H NMR 1 of both crystals in the RTP were dominated by the fluctuation of the electric field gradient at 2H nucleus caused by vibrational motions of the -CH2OH group. In the LTP of both crystals, the fast jump of hydrogen atoms between the two sites corresponding approximately to the positions of the hydroxyl hydrogen atoms in the RTP and LTP were found from 2H NMR spectra. The results of T1 and T1Q in the LTP revealed that the jump of hydrogen atoms occurs in asymmetric potential wells and that these potential wells gradually approach symmetric ones with increasing temperature on the high-temperature side in the LTP

Abstract The 1H spin-lattice relaxation time, linewidth, second moment of 1H NMR absorption, differen-tial thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry of methylammonium tetrabromocado-mate(II) crystals were studied. A new solid phase was found between 482 K and the melting point (493 K). The 1H NMR measurements revealed the presence of overall reorientation of methyl-ammonium cations in this phase. In the room temperature phase, 120° reorientational jumps of the CH3 and NH3+ groups were detected.

Abstract Proton and fluorine NMR linewidths, second moments, and spin-lattice relaxation times of polycrystalline [C(NH2)3]2SbF5 and C(NH2)3SbF6 were studied in a wide temperature range. For the pentafluoroantimonate, C3-reorientation of the guanidinium cation and C4-reorientation of the SbF5 anion were revealed and their activation parameters determined. The dynamical inequivalence of the two guanidinium cations was evidenced. For the hexafluoroantimonate, two solid-solid phase transitions were found. In the low temperature phase the guanidinium cation undergoes C3 reorien­ tation while the SbF6 anion reorients isotropically. The respective activation parameters were derived. At high temperatures new ionic plastic phases were evidenced.

AbstractUsing 2H NMR, the dynamics of the cation in phenethylammonium bromide were studied in the two solid phases. Line shape and spin-lattice relaxation rate studies of the ammonium headgroups and the adajacent methylene groups indicate the onset of alkyl-chain motion prior to the first order phase transition. In the low-temperature phase the line shape and the spin-lattice relaxation rates of the -ND3 groups are consistent with C3 jumps and an activation energy of 54±4 kJ mol-1. However, in the high-temperature phase the spin-lattice relaxation studies indicate the presence of small-angle diffusion of the -ND3 groups around the C3 symmetry axis. In this phase the -CD2- groups show line shapes typical of large-amplitude two-site jumps occurring at a rate > 107 s-1 . In the low-temperature phase, at temperatures below 295 K, the -CD2- 2H NMR line shapes indicate that the C - D bonds are essentially static

Abstract The reorientation of the tetrahedral complex anion ZnCl42- and the self-diffusion of the cation in (CH3NH3)2ZnCl4 were studied by 1H NMR spin-lattice relaxation time (1H T1) experiments. In the second highest-temperature phase, the temperature dependence of 1H T1 observed at 8.5 MHz could be explained by a magnetic dipolar-electric quadrupolar cross relaxation between 1H and chlorine nuclei, and the activation energy of the anion motion was determined to be 105 kJ mol -1 . In the highest-temperature phase, the activation energy of the self-diffusion of the cation was determined to be 58 kJ mol -1 from the temperature and frequency dependence of 1H T1

Abstract Differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and measurements of the 1H spin-lattice relaxation times and second moments of 1H-NMR absorptions were performed on methylammonium tetrachlorozincate (II) crystals over a wide temperature range. A solid-solid phase transition was located at 477 K. From the 1H-NMR experiments it was found that the cations undergo overall reorientation as well as three dimensional translational self-diffusion in the high-temperature phase. In the low-temperature phase, a 120° reorientational motion of the CH3 and NH3+ groups of the cation about its C-N bond axis was detected. The parameters for the motional modes of the cations in the crystal were evaluated from the analysis of the 1H-NMR experimental results.

For crystals of pyridinium dichloroiodate (I), (pyH)ICl2, the temperature dependences of the 1H NMR spin-lattice relaxation time T1 and the 1H second moment M2 were determined. M2 was found to be small (~ 1 G2) above room temperature, indicating that the cations perform rapid reorientational motion about their pseudohexad axis perpendicular to the cationic plane. 1H T1 at its minimum was unusually long, indicating this motion occurring in the low symmetry local environments. Phase transitions between stable solid phases were revealed at 282 and 373 K by the 1H NMR measurements and differential thermal analysis. The highest-temperature phase was easily supercooled and transformed reversibly into another metastable phase and back on cooling and warming at almost the same temperature of 138 K. The kinetics of the phase transition from the supercooled to the stable phase at room temperature was analyzed using an Avrami type relation. The growth time of the stable phase was estimated to be about 14 h at room temperature

H NMR spectra of different hydration stages show that the water molecules in hydrated layered niobium sulfides A0.5(H2O)y[NbS2] are rather mobile at room temperature. A structural scheme of water arrangement in the interlayer space is proposed with the C2-axis of the H2O molecules parallel to the basal planes of the NbS2 layer units.

The temperature dependences of 2H NMR spectra and the spin-lattice relaxation time T\ were measured for [Co(H2O)f,][SiF6]. The variation of the spectrum above room temperature can be explained by the reorientation of [Co(H2O)6]2+ about the C3 axis. The activation energy Ea and the jumping rate at infinite temperature K0 for the three site jump of [Co(H2O)6]2+ were obtained as 82 kJmol-1 and 2x 1017s-1 from the spectral simulation. Below room temperature, the spectral line shape was dominated by the 180° flip of the water molecule. The minimum of T1 caused by the 180° flip of the water molecule was observed at ca. 260 K. The jumping rate of the 180° flip of the water molecule was estimated from the 2H NMR T1 and the spectral simulation. Ea = 38 kJmol-1 and K0 = 6x 1015s-1 for the 180° flip of the water molecule were obtained from T1.

AbstractThe 1H spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) in solid (CD3)3CNH3Cl and (CD3)3CNH3Br was measured above room temperature and the motional parameters for the reorientation of the NH3+ groups were determined. The 1H NMR absorptions measured in the same temperature range for (CH3)3CNH3Cl and (CH3)3CNH3Br indicate the presence of superimposed several cationic motions commonly taking place in both compounds. From X-ray powder patterns taken at room temperature, the bromide was found to be isomorphous with the chloride
