The photocatalytic activity of layered perovskite-like oxides in water splitting reaction is dependent on the hydration level and species located in the interlayer slab: simple or complex cations as well as hydrogen-bonded or non-hydrogen-bonded H2O. To study proton localization and dynamics in the HCa2Nb3O10·yH2O photocatalyst with different hydration levels (hydrated—α-form, dehydrated—γ-form, and intermediate—β-form), complementary Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques were applied. 1H Magic Angle Spinning NMR evidences the presence of different proton containing species in the interlayer slab depending on the hydration level. For α-form, HCa2Nb3O10·1.6H2O, 1H MAS NMR spectra reveal H3O+. Its molecular motion parameters were determined from 1H spin-lattice relaxation time in the rotating frame (T1ρ) using the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) correlation function with stretching exponent β = 0.28: Ea=0.2102 eV, τ0=9.01 × 10−12 s. For the β-form, HCa2Nb3O10·0.8H2O, the only 1H NMR line is the result of an exchange between lattice and non-hydrogen-bonded water protons. T1ρ(1/T) indicates the presence of two characteristic points (224 and 176 K), at which proton dynamics change. The γ-form, HCa2Nb3O10·0.1H2O, contains bulk water and interlayer H+ in regular sites. 1H NMR spectra suggest two inequivalent cation positions. The parameters of the proton motion, found within the KWW model, are as follows: Ea=0.2178 eV, τ0=8.29 × 10−10 s.

Magnesium oxide (MgO) can convert to different magnesium-containing compounds depending on exposure and environmental conditions. Many MgO-based phases contain hydrated species allowing 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to be used in the characterization and quantification of proton-containing phases; however, surprisingly limited examples have been reported. Here, 1H-magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra of select Mg-based minerals are presented and assigned. These experimental results are combined with computational NMR density functional theory (DFT) periodic calculations to calibrate the predicted chemical shielding results. This correlation is then used to predict the NMR shielding for a series of different MgO hydroxide, magnesium chloride hydrate, magnesium perchlorate, and magnesium cement compounds to aid in the future assignment of 1H-NMR spectra for complex Mg phases.

Sodium valproate is a pharmaceutical with applications in the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and other ailments. Sodium valproate can exist in many hydrated and acid-stabilized forms in the solid state, and it can be difficult to obtain precise structural information about many of these. Here, we present a 13C and 23Na solid-state NMR study of several forms of sodium valproate, only one of which has been previously structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 23Na magic-angle spinning (MAS), double-rotation (DOR), and multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning (MQMAS) NMR spectra are shown to provide useful information on the number of molecules in the asymmetric unit, the local coordination geometry of the sodium cations, and the presence of amorphous phases. Two previously identified forms are shown to be highly similar, or identical, according to the 23Na NMR data. The utility of carrying out both DOR and MQMAS NMR experiments to identify all crystallographically unique sites is demonstrated. 13C cross-polarization MAS NMR spectra also provide complementary information on the number of molecules in the asymmetric unit and the crystallinity of the sample.

We have examined the bonding arrangements in Na–P–O–F and Na–Al–P–O–F glasses using 19F, 27Al, and 31P solid-state magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy. For the Al-free series of glasses, the 19F NMR spectra are dominated by peaks near +90 ppm, representative of F terminating P-chains. The formation of these bonds has little effect on the 31P chemical shifts, indicating that F preferentially replaces bridging oxygen on the phosphate tetrahedra, consistent with previous NMR studies of crystalline fluorophosphates and other spectroscopic studies of fluorophosphate glass. For the Na–Al–P–O–F glasses, 27Al NMR detects only octahedral Al-sites, the 19F NMR spectra include a second peak near −12 ppm due to F bonded to Al, and the 31P NMR spectra contain signals due to Q1-sites with one or more Al next-nearest neighbors. The relative intensity of the two 19F peaks correlates well with previous spectroscopic studies and shows that a greater fraction of F–P bonds forms when the base glass is remelted in NH4HF2.

The CP/MAS 31P NMR spectrum of carbonylhydridotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I), RhH(CO)(PPh3)3 (1), can be described as a tightly coupled ABMX spin system (X = 103Rh). In contrast to the solution 31P NMR spectrum, the three equatorial phosphorus nuclei are nonequivalent in the solid state and this structural feature allows us to measure the two-bond spin–spin couplings, 2J(31P,31P). A new method is proposed for extracting the principal components of the chemical shift tensor from slow MAS NMR spectra in a tightly J-coupled two-spin system. For compound 1, the principal components of the 31P chemical shift tensors calculated using this method are in good agreement with those obtained from NMR spectra of a static sample. The principal components of the 31P chemical shift tensors determined for 1 are compared with those reported previously for Wilkinson's catalyst, RhCl(PPh3)3. The δ22 component of the 31P chemical shift tensors in 1 shows the largest variation with structure. This is ascribed to differences in the orientation of the P—Cipso bond about the equatorial plane of the trigonal bipyramidal structure. Keywords: rhodium–phosphine compounds, AB spin system, 31P chemical shift tensor, magic-angle spinning, molecular structure.

AbstractThe thermal transformations of kaolinite have been studied using 27Al and 29Si magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The experimental results show that this sample is a pure kaolinite which contains ∼3% carbonaceous material as impurity. 27Al and 29Si MAS NMR spectra show that the microstructural evolution of the thermal transformation of kaolinite at 450 –1050ºC is similar to that of the kaolinite– mullite reaction series previously published by many authors. 29Si MAS NMR spectra of mullite at 1190 and 1250ºC display two resonances at ∼ – 87 and –92 ppm, corresponding to sillimanite-type geometry around Si and the typical Si environment of mullite, respectively. At 1350ºC, the splitting of (hk0) and (kh0) of mullite occurs, indicating that the primary mullite transforms into orthorhombic mullite. Simultaneously, the resonance at ∼ – 92 ppm splits into two signals at ∼ –90 and –94 ppm. 27Al MAS NMR spectra of the mullite consist of three signals centred at ∼ –4, 45 and 60 ppm, corresponding to octahedral, distorted tetrahedral and tetrahedral Al sites, respectively.
