The 31P chemical shift tensor components and anisotropies of the trimethyl- and triphenylphosphine complexes of the group 6 metal pentacarbonyls, M(CO)5PR3 (M = Cr, Mo, W and R = Me, Ph), have been measured using solid-state CP-MAS 31P NMR spectroscopy. For the trimethylphosphine derivatives, the chemical shift tensors have near axial symmetry and the shift tensor components are in reasonable agreement with the calculated values for the chromium and molybdenum complexes. In the triphenylphosphine complexes, the tensors are asymmetric due to the different torsion angles of the phenyl rings. The trend to higher shielding of the isotropic 31P chemical shifts on descending group 6 arises from changes in the perpendicular components of the shift tensor. The one-bond coupling constants, 1J(95/97Mo-31P), for the trimethyl- and triphenylphosphine complexes are 129 and 133 Hz, respectively.Key words: chemical shift anisotropy, phosphines, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten.

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.

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.

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.

13C chemical shift variations within a series of phenyl, furyl and thienyl Group IVB organometallics appear to be best understood in terms of the usual alkyl and aryl substituent effects on 13C chemical shifts and not variations in dπ ?pπ metal-aryl interactions. Large changes in 13C-metal scalar coupling constants have been observed suggesting that other factors besides the s-character of the carbon-metal bond is responsible in determining the coupling constant.

Abstract A series of alkyl-arylsubstituted N-methyl phosphinothioformamides, R(Ph)PC(S)NHMe (2 a-g), with varying bulkiness of the alkyl rest was synthesized from the racemic secondary phosphines 1a-g and methyl isothiocyanate. 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 2a−g reveal signal sets of diastereotopic nuclei due to the asymmetry of the molecule. The chemical shift and coupling constants were confirmed by simulation in case of 2b, c. The vicinal 31P−13C couplings of the menthyl and neomenthyl compounds 2f, g show an "anti-Karplus" behaviour (3J(gauche) > 3J(trans)) and allow the conformational assignment of the alicyclic group. The 31P chemical shifts of 2a−d give a linear correlation with the cone angle of the alkyl substituents quoted from literature.

We present the first chemical application of the recent, general theory of the nuclear magnetic resonance shielding and chemical shift in paramagnetic compounds, to a set of nonaxial high-spin metallo-organic complexes. The theory is for the first time rigorous for systems of arbitrary spatial and spin symmetry, and introduces new structure to the isotropic, anisotropic but symmetric, and anisotropic and antisymmetric parts of the shielding tensor. We apply the theory using density functional calculations of the proton chemical shift in a family of nonaxial chromium(III) complexes possessing a quartet ground electronic spin state. We discuss the various contributions to the isotropic chemical shift, and compare the full theory to approximate forms appropriate to the doublet case on the one hand, and to the doublet case at the nonrelativistic limit, on the other hand. The performance of various exchange-correlation functionals in reproducing the recently measured experimental chemical shifts is evaluated.

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.

9-Borafluorene derivatives 1 (9-R = Et (a), Ph (b), Cl (c), NEt2 (d)), the pyridine adduct 1py+ and 1,2-(2,2′-biphenylylene)-1,2-diethyldiborane(6) (3), were studied by 11B and 13C NMR spectroscopy to obtain a fairly complete data set for the first time. The molecular structure of the doubly hydrogen-bridged 1,2-diphenylenediborane 3 was determined by X-ray diffraction. The gas-phase structures of the compounds 1, related derivatives, and of some doubly hydrogen-bridged 1,2-diphenylenediboranes were optimized by quantum chemical calculations (B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory) and NMR parameters, such as chemical shifts, 11B chemical shift tensors and indirect nuclear 13C–11B spin–spin coupling constants were calculated at the same level of theory and compared with experimental data.

The effects of long-range and virtual long-range coupling on the observed spectra of acetylated hexopyranoses and pentopyranoses are examined. Use is made of both spin decoupling and specific deuteration for the assignment of signals. It is seen that specific solvent effects on chemical shift can be superior to increasing the applied magnetic field for the resolution of the signals of closely related protons. The alteration of virtual long-range coupling effects in these ways can be useful in the diagnosis of spectra. Empirical rules are derived for estimating the long-range shielding effects which occur on changing configurations. It is seen that the inversion of a center can lead to deshielding of axial protons and to shielding of equatorial protons at other centers relative to the chemical shifts observed in reference compounds wherein all the acetoxy groups are in equatorial orientation. The effects in several cases result in equatorial protons giving their signal to higher field than chemically similar but axial protons. The conformational properties of pentopyranose tetraacetates as estimated from chemical shifts and coupling constants are seen to be in good agreement with expectations based on non-bonding interaction free energies. As expected, 2-deoxy-β-D-ribopyranose triacetate has the 1C-conformation when dissolved in chloroform.
