The Brönsted-Lewis superacid HSO3F-SbF5 or "magic acid" is re-investigated by modern 19F NMR methods over a wide concentration range. The system is found to be considerably more complex than had been assumed previously. A total of 13 different anions are identified of which only five have previously been identified in magic acid. With increasing SbF5 contents the concentration of monomeric anions like [SbF6]-, [SbF5(SO3F)]-, cis- and trans-[SbF4(SO3F)2]-, and mer-[SbF3(SO3F)3]- gradually decreases. Except for [Sb2F11]-, which is present in very small concentrations only, the formation of oligomers involves exclusively μ-fluorosulfato bridges. In addition to donor (SO3F)- and acceptor (SbF5) complex formation to give [SbF5(SO3F)]- and possibly ligand redistribution, the solvolysis of SbF5 or SbF4(SO3F) in HSO3F appears to be the principal formation reaction for polyfluorosulfatofluoroantimonate(V) anions. In glass (NMR tubes) the solvolysis product HF is converted to the oxonium ion [H3O]+, which has previously been identified by 1H NMR and structurally characterized as [H3O][Sb2F11] by us.Key words: magic acid, conjugate superacid, fluorosulfuric acid, 19F NMR spectra.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) results are presented for several aluminum alloy samples prepared using the melt-spinning technique including orthorhombic Al6Mn, Al–Mn quasicrystals both with and without doping with Si and Ru, and a T-phase alloy of Al and Pt. With the exception of the orthorhombic material, all of the NMR spectra show a broad distribution of sites. No features unique to the quasicrystal phase are observed. For the orthorhombic material the quadrupole field parameters are found to be ∥VQ∥ − 1.0±0.1 MHz and η = 0.4±0.1.

The rate constants for the dissociation of the lanthanide Yb3+ from the CD and EF calcium-binding sites of carp parvalbumin (isoelectric point, 4.25) have been measured using optical stopped-flow and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods. The off-rate constants for Yb3+ are 1.5 × 10−1 and 1.3 × 10−3 s−1 respectively, at pH 6.6 and 23 °C. The relative displacement of Ca2+ from the two sites by Yb3+ was determined from the observed amplitude of the fast and slow kinetic phases. Yb3+-shifted 1H-NMR spectra of parvalbumin are presented as a function of pH, concentration, and H2O:D2O ratio to relate the NMR results to the kinetic and optical results. The displacement of Cd2+ from parvalbumin by Yb3+ was studied using 113Cd NMR. All of the results show the sequential displacement of Ca2+ from the CD and EF sites of parvalbumin by Yb3+. Some results are also presented for Tb3+ and Gd3+.

A series of (1,3-dithiane)Fe(CO)4 complexes, (2-X-1,3-dithiane)Fe(CO)4, X = H, Me, SiMe3, GeMe3, SnMe3, PbMe3, has been prepared and characterized, and both the complexes and the free ligands studied by 1H and 13C nmr spectroscopy. The energy barrier to ring inversion in (1,3-dithiane)Fe(CO)4, ΔG298†, is 14.7 ± 0.2 kcal mol−1, some 4.4 kcal mol−1 higher than in free 1,3-dithiane.13C nmr spectra showed that within the Fe(CO)4 moiety, rapid averaging of carbonyl groups occurs down to at least −80 °C.

Multinuclear nmr (1H, 77Se, 111/113Cd, 119Sn, 199Hg, as appropriate) has been used to study Y−−EPh− exchange in Me2CO or MeCN between RnM′Y (RnM′ = Ph3Sn or MeHg; Y = Cl, Br, I, NCO, or NCS) and the adamantane-like anions [(μ-EPh)6(MEPh)4]2− (E = S, M = Zn, Cd, or Co; E = Se, M = Zn or Cd), as their tetraalkylammonium salts. Quantitative terminal substitution of the clusters occurs in most cases, giving [(μ-EPh)6(MEPh)4 − x(MY)x]2−(x = 1–4). However, reaction is incomplete for M = Cd, E = S or Se, RnM′Y = Ph3SnNCO or Ph3SnNCS and for M = Zn or Co, E = S, RnM′Y = MeHgI. Differences in the extents of reaction for Ph3SnY and MeHgY are consistent with the position of equilibrium in MeHgY:Ph3SnEPh mixtures.Group interchange provides a convenient alternative synthesis of the known halogen-substituted clusters [(μ-EPh)6(MY)4]2−(M = Zn or Cd, Y = Cl, Br, or I; M = Co, Y = Cl), and the first syntheses of [(μ-SPh)6(CoY)4]2− (Y = Br or I) and various pseudohalogen-substituted adamantanoid anions. The nuclei used for full direct nmr characterization of the new clusters in solution were: 77Se and 113Cd for [(μ-SePh)6(CdSePh)4 − x(CdY)x]2− (x = 1–4; Y = NCO or NCS); 77Se for [(μ-SePh)6(ZnSePh)4 − x(ZnY)x]2− (x = 1–4, Y = NCO or NCS); 113Cd for [(μ-SPh)6(CdSPh)4 − x(CdY)x]2−(x = 1–4; Y = NCO or NCS); 1H for [(μ-SPh)6(CoY)4]2− (Y = Br, I, NCO, or NCS). The first solution 1H nmr spectrum of [(μ-SPh)6(CoCl)4]2− is also reported.

The NMR spectra of the proton located in a N+---H---−O bond formed in the reaction of a conjugated Schiff base (SB) with a carboxylic acid (HA) in a non-polar solvent indicate that this proton is rapidly exchanging with other protons present in the system. For this study, two SB were used: all-trans-retinylidene tert-butylamine (RBA) and trans, tran-2,4-heptadienylidene tert-butylamine (HBA), and five carboxylic acids having pKa's between 0.66 and 4.87.1H NMR spectra were taken at 293 and 233 K in CDCl3 of systems of SB:HA using different ratios of acid to SB. Results indicate that the rapid proton exchanges are temperature and concentration dependent. Finally, the results are related to the natural pigments rhodopsin and bacteriorhodopsin.

1-Desacetylwilfordine, 8, 1-desacetylwilfortrine, 9, and 2-debenzoyl-2-nicotinoylwilforine, 10, have been isolated from root extracts of the Chinese medicinal and insecticidal plant Tripterygiumwilfordii. Analysis of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 8 and 10, with the aid of COSY, HCCOSY, and COLOC experiments, has allowed unambiguous chemical shift assignments of all protons and carbons of these alkaloids. Keywords: alkaloids, sesquiterpene, Celastraceae, Tripterygium, NMR.

The bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-one and -[3.2.1]octan-6-one skeletons are interconvertible under strongly basic conditions. Their α,α-dimethyl derivatives in tert-Buo−/tert-BuOH at 185 °C undergo very slow interconversion by β-proton abstraction. Using 2H nmr the stereoselectivity of deuterium incorporation at the β-methylene sites was established. The relative reactivities of β-methyl exchange in the [3.2.1] system were also determined. As models for this process, exchange in the α,α,α′,α′-tetramethyl derivatives of the monocyclic ketones, C5–C8, was also studied.
