The quadrupole splittings in the deuterium NMR spectrum from single crystals of deuterated sodium Perchlorate monohydrate, NaClO4-D2O, have been measured at 25 °C and - 55 °C. At room temperature, the 180° flip frequency of the D2O molecules is large compared to the difference between the splittings for the two deuterons. The average quadrupole coupling constant (e2 q Q/h) and asymmetry parameter η are 134.1(4) kHz and 0.621(5), respectively. At -55 °C, the electric field gradient tensors for each of the two deuterons were observed corresponding to slowly flipping water molecules, and e2 qQ/h and η for the two deuterons are 231.5(6) and 226.7(6) kHz and 0.196(4) and 0.195(5), respectively. The results indicate that the hydrogen positions in NaClO4-H2O are dynamically disordered

The NQR nutation method to determine the electric field gradient asymmetry parameter η in systems, where the resonance line is so broad that the radio frequency field can excite only a portion of the nuclear spins, is presented. In this situation, the recently developed spectroscopic methods are not applicable. Two-dimensional nutation NQR spectra of oriented powders are calculated and used to determine η at particular frequencies along a broad NQR line. The proposed method is useful for single crystals, oriented powders, glasses, and disordered systems even for small values of the asymmetry parameter. Therefore it can be used to evaluate fluctuations in η and the quadrupole coupling constant e2qQ due to inhomogeneities. We demonstrate the application of this method to oriented chalcogenide semiconducting glasses.

Abstract Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements were carried out on neutron activated 20F(T1/2=11s) nuclei in a single crystal of KZnF3. The quadrupolar splitted NMR spectrum, detected via the 20F β-radiation asymmetry, could be observed using a radio frequency modulation technique. The quadrupole coupling constant was determined to e2 q Q/h= + (12.0 ± 1.5) MHz at room temperature. The sign of e2 q Q was obtained from a simultaneous γ-ray anisotropy measurement on the succeeding 20Ne transition. Utilising a calculated field gradient of the fluorine atom, an fQ = 4.6% is determined. This value is compared with literature data of similar compounds.

Abstract The crystal structures of glycyl-l-alanine hydrobromide monohydrate, 1, and glycyl-l-alanine hydroiodide monohydrate, 2, were determined and the temperature dependence of the 127I NQR frequencies was investigated in the temperature range 77 <̳T/K <̳ 370. The 127I NQR frequencies are strongly influenced by hydrogen bonds and this is proved by the frequency shift of the H ⇄ D exchange. By deuteration the nuclear quadrupole coupling constant e2 qQh−1(127I) of 2 is shifted downwards 2.72 MHz at room temperature. The title compounds are isotype, and at room temperature they crystallize monoclinic with the space group C22 − P21 with two molecules in the unit cell. The lattice constants for 1 are a = 1068.7 pm, b = 614.1 pm, c = 762.0 pm, and β= 108.55° and for 2 are a = 1093.3 pm, 6 = 637.1 pm, c = 770.9 pm, and β= 107.29°.

Aluminum-27 NQR transitions were detected in Muscovite Mica at room temperature using double resonance by level crossing (DRLC) techniques. Three lines were observed with frequencies of 572.5, 1052.0, and 1624.5 kHz. These lines are assigned to the octahedrally coordinated site, AlO4(OH)2. The corresponding quadrupole coupling constant, e2q Q/h, and asymmetry parameter, η, are 3554.8 kHz and 0.265, respectively. The remaining tetrahedrally coordinated sites, AlO4, gave no discernible signal, perhaps due to the greater 27Al- 1H distance.

Deuteron magnetic resonance in Na2S2O6 · 2 D2O single crystals was investigated in the temperature range —68°C to +80°C. The activation energy for the flipping motion of the heavy water molecule was found to be (9.2 ± 1.5) kcal/mole. The quadrupole coupling constant and the asymmetry parameter in the low temperature case was found to be e2 q Q/h= (244 ± 3) kHz, η = 0.103 ± 0.003 for gne deuteron and e q Q/h = (236 ± 3) kHz, η=0.116 ± 0.003 for the other deuteron of the same water molecule. For the fast flipping case at room temperature e2 q Q/h= (131 ± 2) kHz and η=0.77 ± 0.02. Good agreements in structural parameters of the water molecule of Na2S2O6 · 2 D2O and of Na2S2O6 · 2 H2O were found.

Based on the calculated electric field gradient (q) from ab initio Cl wavefunctions with largebasis set (including ƒ functions on N and d functions on H) and the experimental nuclearquadrupole coupling constant (e Q q) for nitrogen in NH3, an improved value o f the quadrupole moment of 14N is proposed as Q (14N ) = 2.08 x 10-26cm2. The value calculated using a wavefunctionnear the Hartree-Fock limit enlarged ≈ 10% by the Cl treatment.

Abstract The successive phase transitions of [Mg(H2O)6][SiF6] were studied by measuring 2H NMR spectra. The quadrupole coupling constant e2Qq/h and asymmetry parameter η changed drastically at each transition temperature. 1,2H and 19F NMR Tl were measured for this compound to study the relation between the molecular motions and the successive phase transitions. The activation energy Ea and the pre-exponential factor τ0 for the reorientation of [SiF6]2- were estimated as 28 kJmol-1 and 6.0 x 10-14 s, and those of the 180° flip of H2O as 33 kJmol-1 and 4.0x 10-14 s. These two motions occur rapidly even in phase V. For the reorientation of [Mg(H2O)6]2+ , Ea = 62 kJmol-1 and τ0 = 1.1 x 10-16 s were obtained from the simulation of 2H NMR spectra. The jump rate of this motion is of the order of 104 -106 s-1 in phase II. These results suggest that the successive phase transitions are closely related to the motion of [Mg(H2O)6]2+ .

The 71Ga NMR spectra of Ga[GaX4] melts and of solutions in benzene and other hydrocarbons show discrete sharp GaI and broad GaIII resonances. In the light of recent structure determinations, the solution GaI signals must be attributed to bis(arene)Ga+ complexes in which the gallium atom is η6-bonded to the hydrocarbons. The low line widths and strong high field shifts are attributed to an almost spherical shielding of the metal nucleus by the 4 s2 electrons. Solid state 69Ga and 71Ga NMR spectra of Ga[GaCl4] crystalline powder show only Ga1 resonances. While the 71GaI line is rather narrow, the 69GaI line has a complex fine structure. Consistent with the crystal structure of Ga[GaCl4], the Ga1 ion is calculated to have a very low quadrupole coupling constant e2q Q/h = 1.7 ± 0.1 MHz and an asymmetry parameter η = 0.44. Experimental and simulated line shapes (using literature models) are in satisfactory agreement, implying that the 69Ga signal splitting is due to second order quadrupolar effects for the central m = + 1/2 ⇋ - 1/2 transition. The analogous splitting of the 71Ga NMR line is too small to be detected.

D nmr lineshape information was obtained from the echo response following a pair of phase shifted pulses using a method first proposed by Clark. In this manner the D quadrupole coupling constant and asymmetry parameter for D2O in p-dioxane•17D2O were found to be 217 kHz and 0.10 at 63 K. The D nmr lineshape for ethylene oxide-d4•7H2O shows that at 17 K the guest molecules are held rigidly in their cages. At higher temperatures the doublet lineshape collapses to a broad structureless line characteristic of molecules for which the reorientational modes vary from cage to cage.

Powder Zeeman NQR spectra of 123Sb in Sb(C6H5)3 were studied by means of a computer simulation and an experiment. The 123Sb nucleus has spin 7/2. There are two non-equivalent 123Sb atoms in the crystal of Sb(C6H5)3, so that there are two series of three transition lines (higher series: ν1h, ν2h, ν3h; lower series: ν11, ν21, v31). The powder Zeeman spectra for ν1h, based on the transition between the levels mI = ±1/2 and ±3/2, were observed at 77 K under the two conditions that i) the oscillation coil and the static magnetic coil were set coaxially and parallel, and ii) they were set perpendicular to each other. The powder line shapes for ν1h, which is the lowest line of the higher series due to 123Sb nuclei, were in good agreement with those from a computer simulation under the conditions i) and ii), showing that the asymmetry parameter of the field gradient is very small (η = 0). The line shape from i) exhibits two shoulders (saddle type), as it appeared for nuclear spin 5/2 and η = 0. The quadrupole coupling constant for 1h, calculated from the resonance frequency 47.820 MHz and the observed η, is 669.480 MHz at 77 K.
