Quadrupolar Coupling

Deuterium and nitrogen-15 NMR spectroscopy has been used to measure the 2H quadrupolar coupling and 15N chemical shift tensors in solid hydroxylammonium chloride, NH3OH+Cl-, (HAC). In addition, the NH3 and OH dynamics have been investigated by variable temperature 2H line shapes and T1 measurements. The Arrhenius activation energy for NH3 rotation is 22.5 ± 1.8 kJ/mol with a pre-exponential factor of 8 ± 3 × 1012 s-1 from line shapes and 21.3 ± 2 kJ/mol with an infinite temperature correlation time, τinf,, of 5.0 ± 0.4 × 10-14 s from the T1 analysis. The latter value corresponds to a pre-exponential factor of 6.7 ± 0.5 × 1012 s-1, if a three-site exchange is assumed. There was no evidence for OH reorientation up to 405 K, indicating a rather strong OH···Cl hydrogen bond. Previously reported inconsistencies between crystal structure and molecular orbital derived N-O bond lengths are cleared up by performing geometry optimizations with large basis sets and taking electron correlation into account. The internal rotational potential for the isolated HA cation is calculated to be 5.8 kJ/mol at the MP2/6-31G** level, with the trans geometry preferred. Calculations that employ the neutron diffraction geometry and include the Cl- anions that surround the HA+ cation yield an upper limit for the activation energy for NH3 group rotation of 62 kJ/mol. Analysis of the deuterium spectrum and T1 data yield nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants of 160 ± 5 kHz and 194 ± 5 kHz (η = 0.50 ± 0.05) for the ND3 and OD deuterons, respectively. Density functional calculations of the deuterium and nitrogen-14 nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants at the B3LYP level show that it is necessary to include the influence of the surrounding chloride anions. We have also shown that it is possible to obtain accurate proton chemical shifts from the deuterium MAS spectrum of solid HAC-d4.Key words: solid state NMR, molecular dynamics, nitrogen 15 chemical shift anisotropy.

Analysis of the solid-state powder 59Co NMR spectra of ten simple inorganic cobalt(III) complexes at 11.75, and in most cases, 4.7 T have permitted the assignment of specific ligand planes to ranges of values of the observed chemical shift principal components. The relevant chemical shift components were determined from the simulations of the powder line shapes. These simulations also provided the relative orientations of the chemical shift (CS) and electric field gradient (efg) tensors, as well as magnitude and asymmetry of the 59Co quadrupolar coupling. Using symmetry arguments and ab initio calculations, as appropriate or necessary, the orientations of the efg tensors in the molecular frame were deduced. This allowed the determination of the CS tensors in the molecular frame and thus assignment of the ligand planes responsible for the observed values of chemical shifts.Key words: cobalt, chemical shift, quadrupolar coupling, solid state NMR.

Quadrupolar Coupling

139La solid-state NMR spectra, acquired at 21.1 and 11.7 T, have been used to evaluate the structural properties of the lithium ion battery materials, La32Li16Fe6.4O67 and Li3xLa2/3–xTiO3. In particular, atomic-level disorder in the second coordination sphere environment of lanthanum in these materials has been indicated by the observation of a distribution in the asymmetry parameters and the quadrupolar coupling constants derived from experimental NMR spectra, and supported by theoretical calculations. For comparison, 139La NMR has been obtained for the two model compounds La2O3 and LaNbO4, in which there is no atomic-level disorder. Quadrupolar coupling constants in the range of 17 to 59 MHz have been measured, and these values are supported by previous work as well as theoretical predictions performed in CASTEP. It has been shown that 139La NMR is a useful tool for the structural analysis of lithium ion battery materials, and when combined with 7Li MAS NMR and powder X-ray diffraction, can be used to determine the structure of complex solid-state electrolyte and electrode materials.

Tensor Data

Beryllium-9 (9Be) quadrupolar coupling and chemical shift tensor data are reported for bis(1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-2-ylidene)beryllium (Be(CAAC)2). These are the first such data for beryllium in a linear dicoordinate environment. The 9Be quadrupolar coupling constant, 2.36(0.02) MHz, is the largest recorded in the solid state to date for this isotope. The span of the beryllium chemical shift tensor, 22(2) ppm, covers about half of the known 9Be chemical shift range, and the isotropic 9Be chemical shift, 32.0(0.3) ppm, is the largest reported in the solid state to our knowledge. DFT calculations reproduce the experimental data well. A natural localized molecular orbital approach has been used to explain the origins and orientation of the beryllium electric field gradient tensor. The single-crystal X-ray structure of a second polymorph of Be(CAAC)2 is also reported. Inspection of the powder X-ray diffraction data shows that the new crystal structure is part of the bulk product next to another crystalline phase. Therefore, experimental X-ray powder data for the microcrystalline powder sample and the SSNMR data do not fully match either the originally reported crystal structure (Arrowsmith et al. Nat. Chem. 2016, 8, 890–894) or the new polymorph. The ability of solid-state NMR and powder X-ray diffraction to characterize powdered samples was thus particularly useful in this work.

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.

Cobalt-59 and nitrogen-15 NMR spectra of the nitritopentamminecobalt(III) chloride, [(NH3)5Co-ONO]Cl2, and nitropentamminecobalt(III) chloride, [(NH3)5Co-NO2]Cl2, isomers in the solid state have been obtained at several applied magnetic field strengths. The 59Co NMR line shapes indicate that both the cobalt nuclear quadrupolar coupling constant (CQ) and the span of the chemical shift tensor (Ω) decrease when the complex isomerizes from [(NH3)5Co-ONO]2+ to [(NH3)5Co-NO2]2+; CQ decreases from 23 to 10.3 MHz and Ω changes from 1650 to 260 ppm. The 15N NMR line shapes also show a significant change in the nitrogen magnetic shielding tensor upon isomerization, with Ω decreasing from 710 to 547 ppm; also, an indirect spin-spin coupling, 1J(59Co,15N) = 63 Hz, is observed in the 15N NMR spectra of the nitro isomer. The NMR parameters are rationalized based on differences in the molecular structure of the two isomers. NMR spectra have also been recorded as the isomerization progresses with time and demonstrate the practicality of the technique for the study of solid-state isomerizations.Key words: 15N, 59Co, solid-state NMR, linkage isomerization, chemical shift tensor, electric field gradient tensor.
