A multinuclear magnetic resonance study of intramolecular hydrogen bonding in some Schiff and Schiff-Mannich bases in solution and in the solid state

Two Schiff bases; N, N′-bis(5-bromosalicylidene)-1,2-diaminoethane, BS, and 7-[(1-{5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl} methylidene)amino]-4-methylcoumarin, Sc, and two appropriate Schiff–Mannich bases, N, N′-bis{5-bromo-3-[(diethylamino)methyl]salicylidene}-1,2-diaminoethane, BSM, and 7-[(1-{5-bromo-3-[(diethylamino)methyl]-2-hydroxyphenyl} methylidene)amino]-4-methylcoumarin, SMc, capable of intramolecular hydrogen bonding have been investigated by multinuclear magnetic resonance methods in both solid and liquid phases. In all of the compounds under investigation tautomeric equilibrium involving an intramolecular hydrogen bond has been found. The Schiff–Mannich bases, which can form two different kinds of H bonds at room temperature, form relatively weak H bonds with the imino nitrogen atoms. At low temperatures the tautomeric proton exchange becomes slow on the NMR time scale and both hydrogen-bonded forms can be observed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR methods. In the solid state the tautomeric process is frozen and only one H-bonded form is present. On the basis of 13C and ¹⁵N CPMAS NMR spectra this is identified as the form with hydrogen bonds involving the imino groups. This conclusion is in good agreement with previous results obtained by X-ray diffraction methods.

The investigated Schiff bases (BS and Sc) form relatively weak H bonds. The proton position in the hydrogen bridge, estimated from ¹⁵N and ¹³C chemical shifts, is very similar in both the solution and solid phases. In chloroform solution the observed tautomeric equilibria are almost insensitive to a temperature change within the range 223 to 303 K.     

A multiple-field (23)Na NMR study of sodium species in porous carbons

The sodium environments in porous carbon materials prepared from NaOH activation of a char were investigated by means of multiple-field solid-state ²³Na NMR measurements, carried out at magnetic fields of 4.7, 8.45 and 14.1 T, with single-pulse excitation and magic angle spinning (MAS). The recorded spectra showed a relatively featureless resonance with linewidth and peak shift strongly dependent on the magnetic field strength and on the hydration level of the samples. The existence of second-order quadrupolar effects was inferred, although the structural disorder and the mobile character associated with the Na environment precluded the direct observation of typical quadrupolar features in the MAS NMR spectra. The analysis of the spectra collected at multiple magnetic fields yielded the values of −2.8 ppm for the isotropic chemical shift and 1.8 MHz for the quadrupole coupling constant, which were interpreted as due to Na⁺ ions bonded to oxygenated groups at the edges of the graphene planes within the carbon pore network.     

Multiple-magnetic field 139La NMR and density functional theory investigation of the solid lanthanum(III) halides

Results from a solid-state ¹³⁹La NMR spectroscopic investigation of the anhydrous lanthanum(III) halides (LaX₃; X=F, Cl, Br, I) at applied magnetic fields of 7.0, 9.4, 11.7, 14.1, and 17.6 T are presented and highlight the advantages of working at high applied magnetic field strengths. The ¹³⁹La quadrupolar coupling constants are found to range from 15.55 to 24.0 MHz for LaCl₃ and LaI₃, respectively. The lanthanum isotropic chemical shifts exhibit an inverse halogen dependence with values ranging from −135 ppm for LaF₃ to 700 ppm for LaI₃, which represents nearly half of the total lanthanum chemical shift range. The spans of the magnetic shielding tensors also vary widely, from 35 to 650 ppm for the solid LaF₃ through LaI₃. DFT calculations of the ¹³⁹La electric field gradient and magnetic shielding tensors have been performed and provide a qualitative interpretation of the trends observed experimentally.

Proton dynamics in letovicite, (NH4)3H(SO4)2: a 1H and 14N NMR spectroscopic study

The improper ferroelastic phase letovicite (NH₄)₃H(SO₄)₂ has been studied by ¹H MAS NMR as well as by static ¹⁴N NMR experiments in the temperature range of 296–425 K. The ¹H MAS NMR resonance from ammonium protons can be well distinguished from that of acidic protons. A third resonance appears just below the phase transition temperature which is due to the acidic protons in the paraelastic phase. The lowering of the second moment M₂ for the ammonium protons takes place in the same temperature range as the formation of domain boundaries, while the signals of the acidic protons suffer a line narrowing in the area of T_c. The static ¹⁴N NMR spectra confirm the temperature of the motional changes of the ammonium tetrahedra. Two-dimensional ¹H NOESY spectra indicate a chemical exchange between ammonium protons and the acidic protons of the paraphase.

兼具磁共振响应的碳量子点光致发光材料的构筑和性能

碳量子点作为光功能组分和纳米载体用于构筑磁共振-荧光双模态分子探针的研究才刚刚开始。本文首次以兼作Gd3+源和碳源的钆喷酸单葡甲胺为前驱体,研究了热裂解温度、保温时间和加热速率对前驱体碳化程度、所得产物量子产率和Gd3+掺杂量的影响。结果显示,前驱体在经历合理的热裂解条件(热裂解温度不高于350℃)后,可简便地制得Gd3+螯合物掺杂的碳量子点。该碳量子点除了具有优异的发光能力外(量子产率~7.6%),还表现出磁共振响应(纵向弛豫率~6.5 mmol-1·L·s-1),可用作磁共振-荧光双模态分子影像探针。

Magnetic properties in BaFe12O19 nanoparticles prepared under a magnetic field

It was observed that the nanocrystallites of BaFe₁₂O₁₉ formed at 140°C under a 0.25 T magnetic field exhibited a higher saturation magnetization (6.1 emu/g at room temperature) than that of the sample (1.1 emu/g) obtained under zero magnetic field. Both of the two approaches yielded plain-like particles with an average particle size of 12 nm. However, the Curie temperature (T_c), a direct measuring of the strength of superexchange interaction of Fe³⁺–O²⁻–Fe³⁺, increased from 410°C for the nanoparticles prepared without an external field applied to 452°C for the particles formed under a 0.25 T magnetic field, which indicates that external magnetic fields can improve the occupancy of magnetic ions and then increase the superexchange interaction. This was confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance and Mössbauer spectrum analysis. The results present in this paper suggest that in addition to oxygen defects, surface non-magnetic layer and a fraction of finer particles in the superparamagnetic range, cation vacancies should be responsible for the decreasing of saturation magnetization in magnetic nanoparticles.     

CYCLCROP indirect 13C mapping for long-time and chemical-shift selective diffusion measurements in complex hydrocarbon systems

Cyclic cross-polarization from a proton magnetization to ¹³C and from there back to proton coherences permits the indirect, ¹³C chemical shift selective detection of hydrocarbon compounds in the proton NMR channel. This excitation technique can be combined with elements of one-, two- or three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging permitting the measurement of time-resolved spatial distributions of hydrocarbon components. Beginning this sort of CYCLCROP mapping experiment with a non-equilibrium distribution of the constituents in the system allows one to study the time evolution of the concentrations of all components that can be identified by characteristic ¹³C resonance lines. As applications, studies of ingress, mixing, gel formation, transport and metabolism in living plants, long-time inter- and self-diffusion in complex hydrocarbon systems are suggested. As a test experiment, the diffusion of methanol in swollen polymethylmethacrylate was examined.     

Spectral spin diffusion and magnetic dipolar energy in the NMR of 13CH3 compounds

Spin diffusion between ¹³CH₃ groups in solids is studied both theoretically and experimentally. It is shown to be dominated by mutual spin flip–flops of protons belonging to neighbouring methyl groups. Also nonmethyl protons may contribute significantly if present in the sample. The spin–rotational ground state of ¹³CH₃ consists of 16 sublevels. When their populations are used to describe spin diffusion, eight population combinations are shown to be important, two of them corresponding to the ¹³C–proton and proton–proton intra-methyl magnetic dipolar energies, D_c and D_p, respectively. Spin-diffusion transitions modulate these combinations so that a further reduction to two sets of four combinations is possible, with no coupling between the sets. Coupled differential equations are derived to describe the time dependence of the combinations in each set. They are solved numerically and compared with experimental results on a single crystal of aspirin with ¹³C-labelled methyl groups at the carbon resonance. The ¹³C NMR induction signal was observed as a function of time after the preparation either at the carbon resonance (a two-pulse sequence) or at the proton resonance (proton saturation). Usually carbon spectra were computed first and then three of the mentioned population combinations were obtained from the individual spectral components. Some results on the time dependence of D_c were also obtained directly from the amplitude of the out-of-phase induction signal. Theoretical predictions are found to describe semiquantitatively the overall time dependence of these three combinations and especially their variation with different initial conditions, which are discussed in detail. Also the partial transfer of the magnetic dipolar energy between D_c and D_p is nicely explained. Reasons for discrepancies are discussed.     

Correlation between electron state density change and the electrical resistivity and magnetic permeability changes in the nanostructured powder of the NiMo alloy

The nanostructured powders of the Ni_95.4Mo_4.6 and Ni₉₉Mo₁ alloys (average crystallite dimensions of 14 and 21 nm) were obtained by the electrochemical deposition from ammonium solutions of nickel and molybdenum salts. The method of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and measurement of temperature dependence of the powder's electrical resistivity, magnetic permeability and the thermoelectromotive force were employed to examine structural changes of the powders. The nanocrystalline alloys Ni_95.4Mo_4.6 and Ni₉₉Mo₁ were stable up to about 460 K. The thermal stabilization of the alloys takes place within the temperature interval of 460–570 K. As a result of this process, a decrease in the electrical resistivity and increases in magnetic permeability as well as electron state density in the proximity of the Fermi level are observed. The crystallization temperature depends upon the current density of powder formation. The nanocrystalline alloy Ni_95.4Mo_4.6 obtained at j=70 mA cm⁻² becomes crystallized in the temperature range between 650 and 840 K, while the Ni₉₉Mo₁ alloy obtained at j=180 mA cm⁻² crystallizes in the 580–950 K temperature interval. The electrical resistivity and magnetic permeability of the nanocrystalline alloy decreased while the alloy's electron state density near the Fermi level increased after the process of crystallization took place. The electrical resistivity decrease recorded during the structural changes was due to an increase in the electron state density in the proximity of the Fermi level, as well as to an increase in the mean free path of the conducting electrons.     

七叶亭及其衍生物的NMR研究

七叶亭衍生物含有药效性较高的苯二酚基团,具有各种生物活性.本文以七叶亭（化合物1）为母体,通过将苯基引入到4位、将甲氧基与羟基分别引入到5、6、7和8位,得到一系列七叶亭衍生物2~14.首先以七叶亭为例,以DMSO-d₆作为溶剂,采集了它的多种核磁共振（NMR）谱图（包括¹H NMR、¹³C NMR、¹H-¹³C HSQC、¹H-¹³C HMBC）,并进行了较详细的化学位移归属;然后对七叶亭衍生物2~14的¹H和¹³C NMR进行了全归属;另外,讨论了取代基变化对七叶亭及其衍生物上的¹H和¹³C NMR化学位移的影响;最后,使用GIAO和CSGT两种量子化学计算方法计算了七叶亭及其衍生物上的¹H和¹³C NMR化学位移,并与它们的实测值做了比较.     

Magneto-optical properties and exciton dynamics in diluted magnetic semiconductor nanostructures

Nanostructures of diluted magnetic semiconductors were fabricated to study novel magneto-optical properties that are derived from quantum confined band electrons interacting with magnetic ions. Quantum dots (QDs) of Cd_0.97Mn_0.03Se were grown by the self-organization on a ZnSe substrate layer. QDs of Zn_0.69Cd_0.23Mn_0.08Se and quantum wires (QWRs) of Cd_0.92Mn_0.08Se and Zn_0.69Cd_0.23Mn_0.08Se were fabricated by the electron beam lithography. A single quantum well (QW) of ZnTe/Zn_0.97Mn_0.03Te and double QWs of Cd_0.95Mn_0.05Te–CdTe were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Magneto-optical properties and the formation and relaxation dynamics of excitons were investigated by ultrafast time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Excitons in these nanostructures were affected by the low-dimensional confinement effects and the interaction with magnetic ion spins. The exciton luminescence of the Cd_0.97Mn_0.03Se QDs shows the confined exciton energy due to the dot size of 4–6 nm and also shows marked increase of the exciton lifetime with increasing the magnetic field. The QDs of Zn_0.69Cd_0.23Mn_0.08Se fabricated by the electron beam lithography display narrow exciton PL spectrum due to the uniform shape of the dots. The exciton luminescence from the QWRs of Cd_0.92Mn_0.08Se and Zn_0.69Cd_0.23Mn_0.08Se shows the influence of the one-dimensional confinement effect for the exciton energy and the luminescence is linearly polarized parallel to the wire direction. The transient PL from the ZnTe/Zn_0.97Mn_0.03Te QWs displays, by the magnetic field, the level crossing of the exciton spin states of the nonmagnetic and magnetic layers and the spatial spin separation for the excitons. Cd_0.95Mn_0.05Te–CdTe double QWs show the injection of the spin polarized excitons from the magnetic well to the nonmagnetic QW.     

Enhanced double quantum signals in nuclear magnetic resonance

A suggestion by Yatsiv for enhancing the strength of double quantum signals in high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance by use of radio-frequency sidebands is examined and shown to be practical. The theory shows that double quantum techniques can be extended to weakly coupled systems of nuclei (including systems of nuclei of different isotopic species). The AX part (with J _AX=5·4 c/s, δ_AX/2π=99·2 c/s) of the proton magnetic resonance spectrum of maltol (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-γ-pyrone) serves to confirm experimentally the quantitative theoretical treatment for weakly coupled systems. An enhancement factor of eight was observed as can be seen in figure 2.     

质子化学位移各向异性的测量

测量质子化学位移各向异性（CSA）有助于表征分子结构与其动力学,但由于¹H-¹H同核偶极耦合相互作用很强及质子各向异性化学位移较小,测量质子化学位移各向异性仍具有巨大挑战,特别是对含有多种质子的生物大分子,如蛋白质.本文简要综述了测量质子化学位移各向异性的方法,包括同核去耦慢速魔角旋转方法、超快魔角旋转方法、对称重耦（RN_n^v）方法、xCSA方法以及量子化学计算方法.我们重点介绍了在高速魔角旋转条件下蛋白质氨基质子化学位移各向异性的测量及它们与氢键长度、蛋白质二级结构之间的关系.

Electrical and magnetic properties of polyaniline/Fe3O4 nanostructures

We report on electrical and magnetic properties of polyaniline (PANI) nanotubes (150 nm in diameter) and PANI/Fe₃O₄ nanowires (140 nm in diameter) containing Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with a typical size of 12 nm. These systems were prepared by a template-free method. The conductivity of the nanostructures is 10⁻¹–10⁻² S/cm; and the temperature dependent resistivity follows a ln ρT^−1/2 law. The composites (6 and 20 wt% of Fe₃O₄) show a large negative magnetoresistance compared with that of pure PANI nanotubes and a considerably lower saturated magnetization (M_s=3.45 emu/g at 300 K and 4.21 emu/g at 4 K) compared with the values measured from bulk magnetite (M_s=84 emu/g) and pure Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (M_s=65 emu/g). AC magnetic susceptibility was also measured. It is found that the peak position of the AC susceptibility of the nanocomposites shifts to a higher temperature (>245 K) compared with that of pure Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (190–200 K). These results suggest that interactions between the polymer matrix and nanoparticles take place in these nanocomposites.     

Atomic coherence effects on optically pumped cesium atoms in static magnetic field

The population difference between ground states F = 4 and F = 3 is calculated for Cs atoms pumped on the D₂ line by a resonant laser beam. The pumping efficiency for Cs atoms in a static magnetic field on two hyperfine transitions (6S_1/2 F = 4 → 6P_3/2 F′ = 3 and F′ = 4) is calculated for various pump laser intensities. The population difference as a function of the static magnetic field exhibits a dip centered at the zero magnetic field, which corresponds well with the Zeeman coherence between sublevels of the F = 4 state. The full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the dip as a function of the pump laser intensity shows abnormal power broadening behavior that differs for different hyperfine transitions. We present experimental results that agree with the theoretical calculations.
