Combined 17O NMR and 11B-31P double resonance NMR studies of sodium borophosphate glasses

17O enriched sodium borophosphate glasses were prepared from isotopically enriched NaPO3 and H3BO3. These glasses have been studied by 17O, 11B and 31P NMR including 17O and 11B multiple quantum magic angle sample spinning (MQMAS), 11B-31P heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) NMR and 11B{31P} rotational echo double resonance (REDOR). For comparison, the crystalline borophosphates BPO4 and Na5B2P3O13 were included in the investigations. The latter compound shows three sharp 31P resonances at -0.2, -2 and -8 ppm and two BO4 sites that can only be resolved by MQMAS. The 17O NMR spectra were recorded using both the static echo method at medium magnetic field (9.4 T) as well as MAS and MQMAS methods at high field (17.6 T). In total, five oxygen sites were identified in these borophosphate glasses: P-O-P, Na...O-P, P-O-B, B-O-B, Na...O-B. However, these five sites are not present simultaneously in any of the glasses. The 17O MQMAS spectra prove that P-O-B links play a major role in borophosphate glasses. These results are confirmed by the complementary 11B MAS spectra that show the presence of asymmetric and symmetric trigonal groups BO3a and BO3s and two tetrahedral BO4 units. 11B{31P} REDOR NMR is used to give independent information to assign the 11B lines to structural units present in the glasses. These REDOR measurements reveal that B-O-P bonds are present for each borate unit, including the BO3 groups. Particularly, a structural proposal for the two different BO4 resonances is given in terms of a different number of bonded phosphate tetrahedra. The 31P MAS spectra are usually broad and not well resolved. It is shown by 11B-31P HETCOR NMR that a possible structural assignment of a 31P signal at about -20 ppm to Q2 units as in binary sodium phosphate glasses is wrong and that the phosphate tetrahedron belonging to this resonance must be connected to borate groups.     

Phosphorus-31 NMR studies of stabilized phosphorus ylids in the solid state.

Phosphorus-31 powder NMR spectra and high-resolution MAS spectra have been obtained for a number of stabilized phosphorus ylids under conditions of high-power proton decoupling and cross-polarization. The 31P CP/MAS spectra are compared to those obtained from isotropic solutions. The variation of chemical shift anisotropy and of the principal components of the 31P chemical shift tensor determined from 31P powder NMR line shapes are discussed in terms of the relative importance of accepted valence bond resonance structures. The results indicate that the invariance of the isotropic chemical shift, delta iso, observed in previous 31P NMR investigations of phosphorus ylids in solution is due to fortuitous cancellation of opposing changes in the principal components, delta 11 and delta 33, of the 31P chemical shift tensor. The 31P dipolar NMR powder spectrum of a typical stabilized ylid, (C6H5)3(31)P-13CHC(O)OCH2CH3, is analyzed in order to obtain the orientation of the 31P chemical shift tensor with respect to the 31P-13C alpha dipolar vector.     

Mixed alkali effect in a three dimensional structure NASICON

The conductivity has a minimum against ionic ratio in Na_2−yAg_yZr_1.5Mg_0.5(PO₄)₃ with a three dimensional network which is called as a mixed alkali effect (MAE). In this paper, we discussed²³Na and³¹P MAS NMR spectra in MAE. The central line profiles exhibit characteristic changes due to values of asymmetry parameter η. The observed profiles are produced by the second-order quadrupole interaction with the electric field gradient. The peak intensity of side band against ionic ratio in MAS NMR spectra showed a small maximum due to the Na-Ag dipolar interaction which corresponds to the conductivity minimum. The chemical shifts of³¹P MAS NMR showed the strong dependence of polarizability of mobile ions that share oxygens in the PO₄ tetrahedra and the ZrO₆ octahedra. Their results indicate that there are some ordered structures of Na-Ag dependent on the ionic ratio in MAE.     

Spinning Sidebands in Slow-Magic-Angle-Spinning NMR Spectra Arising from TightlyJ-Coupled Spin Pairs

Complex spinning sidebands are observed in magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR spectra arising from isolated tightlyJ-coupled spin pairs under slow spinning conditions. Such spinning sidebands are sensitive to the magnitude and relative orientation of the chemical-shift tensors, the dipolar-coupling tensor, and the sign of the indirect spin–spin (J) coupling. We show that it is possible to extract information concerning such NMR parameters from an analysis of the observed spinning sidebands. As an example, numerical simulations are carried out to reproduce observed³¹P MAS NMR spectra of a phosphole tetramer (1) ando-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (2), so that invaluable information concerning the orientations of the phosphorus chemical-shift tensors and the sign ofJ(³¹P,³¹P) can be deduced. Simulations are carried out by numerically evaluating the spin-density matrix of the spin system.     

Bulk magnetization and 1H NMR spectra of magnetically heterogeneous model systems

Bulk magnetization and ¹H static and magic angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of two magnetically heterogeneous model systems based on laponite (LAP) layered silicate or polystyrene (PS) with low and high proton concentration, respectively, and ferrimagnetic Fe₂O₃ nano- or micro-particles have been studied. In LAP+Fe₂O₃, a major contribution to the NMR signal broadening is due to the dipolar coupling between the magnetic moments of protons and magnetic particles. In PS+Fe₂O₃, due to the higher proton concentration in polystyrene and stronger proton–proton dipolar coupling, an additional broadening is observed, i.e. ¹H MAS NMR spectra of magnetically heterogeneous systems are sensitive to both proton–magnetic particles and proton–proton dipolar couplings. An increase of the volume magnetization by ～1 emu/cm³ affects the ¹H NMR signal width in a way that is similar to an increase of the proton concentration by ～2×10²²/cm³. ¹H MAS NMR spectra, along with bulk magnetization measurements, allow the accurate determination of the hydrogen concentration in magnetically heterogeneous systems.

Vanadium phosphates on mesoporous supports: model catalysts for solid-state NMR studies of the selective oxidation of n-butane

SBA-15 was utilized as mesoporous support for the dispersion of vanadium phosphate (VPO) compounds. Loading of SBA-15 with VPO compounds was found to be accompanied by decreasing ²⁹Si MAS NMR signals of Q² (Si(2Si,2OH)) and Q³ (Si(3Si,1OH)) silicon species, which indicates coverage of the mesoporous support by the guest compounds. The ⁵¹V MAS NNR spectra of the activated VPO/SBA-15 catalysts consist of patterns typical for the α_II- and β-phases of vanadyl orthophosphate. In the ³¹P MAS NMR spectra of the activated VPO/SBA-15 catalysts, signals of β-, δ-, and α_II-VOPO₄ phases could be identified. Upon conversion of n-butane-¹³C₄, a strong decrease of the ³¹P MAS NMR signals characteristic for the δ-VOPO₄ phase occurred, while by ¹³C MAS NMR spectroscopy the formation of maleic anhydride, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide was observed. This finding supports the active role of the δ-VOPO₄ phase in the selective oxidation of n-butane on VPO/SBA-15 catalysts.

稀土掺杂磷酸盐玻璃具有优异的光学和光谱特性,在激光介质、有色滤光材料等领域中有着重要的应用。在P2O5_Al2O3_BaO_Sm2O3(PABS)玻璃形成能力研究的基础上,借助MAS NMR、红外光谱等分析手段,研究了玻璃的结构、玻璃组成与热处理等对玻璃结构的影响。结果表明:不同组成PAB(S)玻璃的31P MAS NMR谱在-20ppm~-25ppm范围内均存在单一的特征信号峰,对应于磷氧多面体[PO4]的Q2型结构;在18ppm、-12ppm和-36ppm处27Al的MAS NMR谱的三个特征信号峰分别对应于27Al的[AlO5][、AlO6]、[AlO6]配位结构,稀土离子的掺入以及热处理均使得[AlO6]向[AlO5]转变;玻璃的网络结构主要由Q2型[PO4]、[AlO5]和[AlO6]构成,并P_O_P、P_O_Al的形式相连接。玻璃在1383 cm-1处出现的吸收峰可能是玻璃结构中形成了P_O_Sm键所致。     

High-resolution NMR with resistive and hybrid magnets: deconvolution using a field-fluctuation signal

A method for compensating effect of field fluctuation is examined to attain high-resolution NMR spectra with resistive and hybrid magnets. In this method, time dependence of electromotive force induced for a pickup coil attached near a sample is measured synchronously with acquisition of NMR. Observed voltage across the pickup coil is converted to field fluctuation data, which is used to deconvolute NMR signals. The feasibility of the method is studied by (79)Br MAS NMR of KBr under a 30T magnetic field of a hybrid magnet. Twenty single-scan NMR signals were accumulated after the manipulation, resulting in a high-resolution NMR spectrum.     

Magic-angle-spinning NMR on solid biological systems. Analysis Of the origin of the spectral linewidths

Magic-angle-spinning (MAS) high-power ¹H-decoupled ¹³C and ³¹P NMR has been applied to solid biological materials to obtain information about the mechanisms that determine the spectral linewidths. The line broadening in MAS ³¹P NMR spectra of solid tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has been investigated by selective saturation and T₂ measurements. About 90 Hz stems from homogeneous effects, whereas the inhomogeneous contribution is approximately 100 Hz. The inhomogeneous line broadening is assigned to macroscopic inhomogeneities in the sample and not to variations in the nucleotide bases along the RNA strand in TMV. It is concluded that sample preparation is of vital importance for obtaining well-resolved spectra. Under optimal preparation techniques the isotropic values of the chemical shift of the different ³¹P sites have been determined to obtain information about the secondary structure of the viral RNA. The chemical shift anisotropy has been determined from the relative intensities of the spinning side bands in the spectra. The chemical shift information is used to make a tentative assignment of the resonance in terms of the three structurally distinguishable phosphate groups in TMV. The origin of the linewidths in MAS NMR has been examined further by ¹³C NMR of approximately 10% ¹³C-enriched coat protein of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus, using selective excitation and saturation techniques, as well as measurements of the relaxation times T_1γ and T₂. The CO resonance in the spectrum is composed of an inhomogeneous and homogeneous part with a total linewidth of 700 Hz. The homogeneous linewidth, contributing with 200 Hz, is found to arise from slow molecular motions in the solid on a millisecond timescale.     

31P nmr study of I–IV group polycrystalline phosphates

Polycrystalline phosphates of group I–IV elements have been studied using solid state ³¹P NMR. The relationship between the spectral parameters (the principal components of the chemical shielding tensor and obtained from MAS values of the isotropic shifts of ³¹P) and the environment of the phosphorus atoms in these compounds has been considered. The shape of the lines in stationary ³¹P NMR spectra reflects the near neighbour environment of a phosphorus atom and the degree of distortion of the PO₄ tetrahedron. The type of cation, as well as the presence of the water of crystallization in the structure affect considerably an isotropic shift of ³¹P in phosphates. The high sensitivity of the solid state ³¹P NMR to even slight variations in the structure of the phosphate anions is shown.

Multinuclear MAS NMR study of the microporous aluminophosphate AlPO4-17 and the related silicoaluminophosphate SAPO-17.

AlPO4-17 and SAPO-17 in their as-synthesized, calcined, and calcined and subsequently rehydrated forms have been studied by 27Al and 31P MAS NMR. Pronounced structural changes caused by template removal and rehydration can unambiguously be attributed to a change in the coordination number (on calcination: 5-->4, on rehydration/dehydration: 4<-->6) of part of the framework aluminium atoms. The different resonance lines can be assigned to crystallographically inequivalent sites present in the modified ERI framework. 27Al quadrupolar coupling parameters of the two aluminium sites in the calcined AlPO4-17 (CQ = 4.4 MHz and 2.1 MHz) were determined by recording spectra at different field strengths. The isotropic chemical shifts were obtained from rotation sidebands of the (+/- 3/2, +/- 1/2) satellite transitions. 2D 27Al nutation MAS NMR was used to corroborate the line assignment for the as-synthesized and the rehydrated AlPO4-17. By using 13C MAS NMR it was shown that the occluded template (cyclohexylamine) is present as ions. For the first time, a splitting of the 29Si NMR line caused by crystallographically inequivalent sites in a SAPO-type material is reported. The line splitting of 4.3 ppm is comparable with that observed for isostructural aluminosilicate erionite.     

Hardware modification of a 7 mm MAS NMR probe to a single-crystal goniometer

Tensorial terms of the Hamiltonian can be measured by solid-state single-crystal nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which requires a goniometer NMR probehead. Goniometer probes; however, are not standard parts of solid NMR spectrometers and are available only at a much higher price than magic-angle spinning (MAS) probeheads widely used in research. Due to requirements of MAS experiments, modern probeheads are designed for small ceramic rotors, which are 1-4 mm in diameter, to reach very high angular frequencies, so there are several older 7 mm MAS probeheads used rarely todays in NMR laboratories. In this paper, a simple method is presented how to rebuild step-by-step a 7 mm Bruker MAS probehead to be suitable for single-crystal spectroscopy. In the second part (31)P chemical shift tensors of Na(4)P(2)O(7) x 10H(2)O are determined to demonstrate the functionality of the rebuilt probehead.     

Solid-state 31P CP/MAS and static 65Cu NMR characterization of polycrystalline copper(I) dialkyldithiophosphate clusters

Polycrystalline tetra-nuclear Cu4[S2P(O-i-C3H7)2]4, hexa-nuclear Cu6[S2P(OC2H5)2]6, and octa-nuclear Cu8[S2P(O-i-C4H9)2]6(S) complexes were synthesized and analyzed by means of solid-state 31P CP/MAS and 65Cu static NMR spectroscopy. The symmetries of the electronic environments around each P-site were estimated from the 31P chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) parameters, Deltaaniso and eta. The 65Cu chemical shift and quadrupolar splitting parameters obtained from the experimental 65Cu NMR spectra of the polycrystalline Cu(I)-complexes are presented. A solid-state NMR approach for the elucidation of the stereochemistry of poly-nuclear Cu(I) dithiophosphate complexes, when the structural analysis of the systems by single-crystal X-ray diffraction is not readily available, is proposed.     

Parallelizing acquisitions of solid-state NMR spectra with multi-channel probe and multi-receivers: Applications to nanoporous solids

A five-channel (¹H, ¹⁹F, ³¹P, ²⁷Al, ¹³C) 2.5 mm magic-angle-spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe is used in combination with three separate receivers for the parallel acquisitions of one (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) NMR spectra in model fluorinated aluminophosphate and porous Al-based metal-organic framework (MOF). Possible combinations to record simultaneously spectra using this set-up are presented, including (i) parallel acquisitions of quantitative 1D NMR spectra of solids containing nuclei with contrasted T₁ relaxation rates and (ii) parallel acquisitions of 2D heteronuclear NMR spectra. In solids containing numerous different NMR-accessible nuclei, the number of NMR experiments that have to be acquired to get accurate structural information is high. The strategy we present here, i.e. the multiplication of both the number of irradiation channels in the probe and the number of parallel receivers, offers one possibility to optimize this measurement time.     

Unusual "AB" Spectra in High-Resolution Magic-Angle-Spinning NMR-Studies of Solids

Phosphorus-31CP-MAS spectra of Cd(NO₃)₂(PPh₃)₂ have been obtained as a function of spinning frequency. Although the two ³¹P nuclei are crystallographically equivalent and have the same isotropic chemical shifts in the solid state, they exhibit spinning-rate-dependent MAS spectra which have been analyzed to obtain the value of ²J(P, P). At high spinning rates, the spectra are analogous to "A₂" spectra in isotropic solutions, while at slower spinning rates, the spectra are more characteristic of strongly coupled "AB" solution spectra. The AB spectra are unusual in that δ_A = δ_B and J(A, B) is given by the splitting between the alternate peaks in the four-peak multiplet as opposed to the splitting between the outer and adjacent inner lines. This assignment was confirmed by a 2D CP-MAS J-resolved experiment. The unusual spinning-rate-dependent MAS lineshapes result from recoupling of the J interaction between the two crystallographically equivalent nuclei via anisotropic interactions, i.e., weak homonuclear dipolar coupling and differences in the orientation dependence of the chemical-shift tensors. Such spinning-rate-dependent MAS lineshapes are predicted to be a more frequent observation at higher applied magnetic fields.     

Penning ionization of 1-bromoadamantane and bromocyclohexane by collision with He*(23S) metastable atoms: spin–orbit coupling effect and anisotropic interaction around bromine atom

The He I ultraviolet photoelectron spectra and Penning ionization electron spectra for 1-bromoadamantane and bromocyclohexane are measured and assigned on the basis of the outer valence Green’s function calculations. Spin–orbit splitting is observed clearly for the lone pair orbitals localized on the Br atoms. Slope parameters of collision energy dependence of partial ionization cross sections for two split branches in the bromocyclohexane spectra are nearly equal. Two possible explanations are discussed by a strong spin–orbit coupling effect and the coexistence of two isomers. The former breaks down the spatial electron distribution picture of molecular orbital in electron energy spectra; the latter is supported by the calculated results of anisotropic interaction around the Br atom using the unrestricted second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory with the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. By comparison of the anisotropic interactions around the Br and Cl atoms, a shielding effect by the hydrocarbon group which leads to decreasing attractive interactions around the substituted Br atom is found to be relatively weak even for the large bromohydrocarbons.     

Solid-State Si, Cd, Sn, and P NMR Studies of II-IV-P2 Semiconductors

Solid-state ²⁹Si, ¹¹³Cd, ¹¹⁹Sn, and ³¹P MAS NMR spectra are reported on a series of II-IV-P₂ compounds. In favorable cases (e.g., high degree of crystallinity, low concentration of unpaired electrons), well-defined spectra, with sharp lines for each specific nearest-neighbor configuration, are observed; in such cases, expected J coupling patterns are also seen. High-resolution solid-state NMR studies of this type provide useful information on structure (disorder), doping, and electron-mediated coupling in semiconductor systems.
