Abstract: | REDOR technique was applied to natural abundance 13C nuclei coupled to a singly labeled 15N nucleus to determine the 13C, 15N interatomic distances simultaneously in crystalline ammonium 15N]
-glutamate monohydrate (1). Consequently, the interatomic C–N distances between 15N and 13C=O, 13Cα, 13Cβ, 13Cγ, and 13Cδ carbon nuclei for 1 were determined with a precision of ±0.15 Å, after the experimental conditions such as the location of samples in the rotor, length of π pulse etc. were carefully optimized. 13C-REDOR factors for three spin system, (ΔS/S0)CN1N2, and the sum of two isolated 2-spin system, (ΔS/S0)*=(ΔS/S0)CN1+(ΔS/S0)CN2, were further evaluated by the REDOR measurements on isotopically diluted 1 in a controlled manner. Subsequently, the intra- and intermolecular C–N distances were separated by searching the minima in the contour map of root mean square deviation (RMSD) between the theoretically and experimentally obtained (ΔS/S0)* values against two interatomic distances, rC–N1 and rC–N2. When the intramolecular C–N distance (rC–N1) of the particular carbon nucleus is substantially shorter than the intermolecular one (rC–N2), C–N distances within a single molecule were obtained with an accuracy of ±0.06 Å as in the cases of C=O, Cα and Cβ carbon nuclei. C–N distances between the molecule in question and the nearest neighboring molecules can be also obtained, although accuracy was lower. On the contrary, it was difficult to determine the interatomic distances in the same molecule when the intermolecular dipolar contribution is larger than the intramolecular one as in the case of Cδ carbon nucleus. |
