Insight into the Dynamics of Lanthanide-DTPA Complexes As Revealed by Oxygen-17 NMR

DTPA chelates of various diamagnetic and paramagnetic lanthanide(III) metal ions, as well as the chemically similar DTPA chelate of Y(3+), were studied in aqueous solution by variable temperature (17)O NMR with the aim of characterizing their internal dynamics. As a consequence of poor chemical shift dispersion and fast quadrupole relaxation, no dynamic exchange process could be detected for the diamagnetic complexes nor for the Sm-DTPA complex. In contrast, the spectra recorded for the Eu-DTPA complex show chemical exchange due to the well-known racemization process and, at high temperature, feature signal broadening that reveals a fluxional process involving the interchange of the coordinated and noncoordinated oxygen atoms of the carboxylate groups. The spectra recorded for the Pr-DTPA complex feature coalescence events due to such a fluxional process, which is ascribable to the rotation of the carboxylate groups. The activation free energy barriers determined experimentally are remarkably lower than the calculated activation barriers recently reported for the rotation of the carboxylate groups of various Ln-DOTA complexes. Furthermore, the smallest activation free energy measured for the Pr-DTPA complex, about 45 kJ mol(-1), is significantly lower than the activation free energy characterizing the racemization process. The fluxional behavior of the carboxylate groups is, however, not expected to significantly affect the residence time of the water molecule coordinated to the metal ion.     

Oxygen-17 nuclear magnetic resonance study of some oxirane derivatives

The ¹⁷O chemical shifts of seventeen variously substituted oxiranes have been measured in CDCI₃ solution. Deviations of δ_o from additivity have been interpreted in terms of steric effects and loss of conjugation. Moreover, in the case of certain cis- and trans-dimethyl-substituted compounds, ¹⁷O NMR allows a differentiation between the different molecular configurations.     

Water-Exchange Mechanism of Tetraaquapalladium(II). A Variable-Pressure and Variable-Temperature Oxygen-17 NMR Study

Water exchange of square-planar Pd(H₂O)²₄⁺ has been studied as a function of temperature (240 to 345 K) and pressure (0.1 to 260 MPa, at 324 K) by measuring the ^17/O-FT-NMR line-widths of the resonance from coordinated water at 27.11 and 48.78 MHz. The following exchange parameters were obtained: k²⁹⁸_ex = (560 ± 40) s^?1, ΔH* = (49.5 ± 1.9) kJ mol^?1, ΔS* = – (26 ± 6) J K^?1 mol^?1 and ΔV* = – (2.2 ± 0.2) cm³ mol^?1. The values refere to an aqueous perchlorate medium with an ionic strength between 2.0 and 2.6 m and a perchloric-acid concentration between 0.8 and 1.7 m, and are interpreted in terms of an associative (a) activation for the exchange. The exchange rate for Pd(H₂O)²₄⁺ is 1.4 × 10⁶ times faster than for Pt(H₂O)²₄⁺ at 298 K. A comparison with reactions between other nucleophiles and Pd(H₂O)²₄⁺ is also made.     

Oxygen-17 nuclear magnetic resonance study of some five-membered heterocyclic derivatives

¹⁷O NMR spectra have been obtained in the FT mode for some furan and isoxazole derivatives. The chemical shifts, mainly governed by the electronegativities of the atoms bonded to the central oxygen, are also affected by alkylation on the different positions of the ring systems, which gives rise to β and γ effects similar to those observed for simple aliphatic ethers.     

Oxygen-17 NMR, Electronic, and Vibrational Spectroscopy of Transition Metal Peroxo Complexes: Correlation with Reactivity

The (17)O NMR chemical shifts of several previously characterized mono- and diperoxo complexes of vanadium(V), molybdenum(VI), tungsten(VI), and titanium(IV) were measured. Compilation of NMR, electronic, and vibrational spectroscopic data and metric parameters for these and other complexes permits us to draw correlations among (17)O peroxo chemical shift, the electronic charge transfer band, the O-O vibrational frequency, and the length of the oxygen-oxygen bond. Monoperoxo complexes exhibit (17)O chemical shifts of 500-660 ppm, while those of diperoxo complexes fall in the range 350-460 ppm. The correlation of chemical shift with the inverse ligand-to-metal charge transfer energy from electronic spectra is consistent with a formalism developed by Ramsey, despite the variations in the metals, the number of peroxo ligands, and the nature of the remaining ligands in the coordination sphere. Vibrational frequency and length of the oxygen-oxygen bond also correlate with the inverse ligand-to-metal charge transfer energy. Monoperoxo complexes show values of nu(O)(-)(O) above 900 cm(-)(1) and O-O distances in the range 1.43-1.46 ?. Diperoxo complexes have values of nu(O)(-)(O) below 900 cm(-)(1) and O-O distances of 1.46-1.53 ?. The assignment of nu(O)(-)(O) = 910 cm(-)(1) for the infrared spectrum of ammonium aquaoxoperoxo(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato)vanadium(V), NH(4)[VO(O(2))(dipic)(H(2)O)], was made by isotopic substitution. The stretching frequency and length of the O-O bond for peroxo complexes are explained in terms of sigma-bonding between a metal d orbital and a peroxo pi orbital. A comparison of the spectroscopic properties of these complexes with their reactivity as oxidizing agents suggests that the strength of the O-O bond is an important factor. The most reactive species exhibit lambda(max) values below 400 nm, stretching frequencies below 900 cm(-)(1), and (17)O chemical shifts below 600 nm. These generalizations may permit the prediction of peroxometal reactivity from spectroscopic information.     

95Mo and 17O NMR studies of aqueous molybdate solutions

Aqueous molybdate solutions with molybdenum concentrations of [Mo]=1, 0.4, and 0.2 M have been studied by NMR at pH 7-1 and in 0.3-6 M HClO4. The 95Mo NMR spectrum of isopolyanion (IPA) Mo7O24(6-) (I) at pH=5 consists of a signal at 210 ppm and two overlapping peaks at 32 and approximately 15 ppm with the intensity ratio approximately 1:4:2, and that of beta-Mo8O26(4-) (II) consists of two signals at approximately 100 and 10 ppm with the intensity ratio approximately 1:3. A broad 95Mo NMR line at around 0 ppm was observed in the pH range of IPA Mo36O112(8-) (III), and a signal of cationic oxospecies including MoO2(2+) (IV) was observed from -62 to -69 ppm. Two protonation sites of IPA I have been identified from 17O NMR spectra, which suggests binding of up to two protons. The distribution diagram, derived from the 95Mo NMR spectra, is given for [Mo]=0.4 M. The 95Mo NMR signals shift to lower frequencies with increasing number and strength of the Mo-O terminal bonds.     

Quadrupole central transition 17O NMR spectroscopy of biological macromolecules in aqueous solution

We demonstrate a general nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic approach in obtaining high-resolution (17)O (spin-5/2) NMR spectra for biological macromolecules in aqueous solution. This approach, termed quadrupole central transition (QCT) NMR, is based on the multiexponential relaxation properties of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei in molecules undergoing slow isotropic tumbling motion. Under such a circumstance, Redfield's relaxation theory predicts that the central transition, m(I) = +1/2 ? -1/2, can exhibit relatively long transverse relaxation time constants, thus giving rise to relatively narrow spectral lines. Using three robust protein-ligand complexes of size ranging from 65 to 240 kDa, we have obtained (17)O QCT NMR spectra with unprecedented resolution, allowing the chemical environment around the targeted oxygen atoms to be directly probed for the first time. The new QCT approach increases the size limit of molecular systems previously attainable by solution (17)O NMR by nearly 3 orders of magnitude (1000-fold). We have also shown that, when both quadrupole and shielding anisotropy interactions are operative, (17)O QCT NMR spectra display an analogous transverse relaxation optimized spectroscopy type behavior in that the condition for optimal resolution depends on the applied magnetic field. We conclude that, with the currently available moderate and ultrahigh magnetic fields (14 T and higher), this (17)O QCT NMR approach is applicable to a wide variety of biological macromolecules. The new (17)O NMR parameters so obtained for biological molecules are complementary to those obtained from (1)H, (13)C, and (15)N NMR studies.     

A 17O NMR study of the protonation of urea

¹⁷O NMR has been applied to the study of urea over a wide pH range, in fluorosulfonic acid and in magic acid (HFSO₃SbF₅). A 96 ppm diamagnetic chemical shift was observed on modifying the medium from an aqueous solution at pH 3 to a fluorosulfonic acid solvent. We attributed this shift to a protonation reaction at the urea oxygen having a pK_a of 0.1. A 36 ppm paramagnetic shift was observed in magic acid relative to the resonance position in fluorosulfonic acid, which is consistent with the formation of a diprotonated form of urea. Values of transverse and longitudinal relaxation rates were found to be equal as a function of pH and to double on lowering the pH from 2 to ?1.     

Oxygen-17 nuclear magnetic resonance: The effects of remote unsaturation on 17o-chemical shifts in polycyclic ethers

Natural-abundance ¹⁷O-NMR spectra of 7-oxanorbornane exo-3-oxatricyclo [3.2.1.0^2.4]octane and their unsaturated derivatives (endo cyclic and exocyclic double bonds) have been measured. Linear correlation laws were observed for $\text{δ}{}_{\mathrm{o}}\text{δ}{}_{\mathrm{c}}$ of these ethers/corresponding hydrocarbons. The “cyclization shifts” for δ_o in ethers were not correlated by the “cyclization shifts” for δ_c of the corresponding hydrocarbons.     

Spectrophotometric study of drug interferences in an aqueous 17-ketosteroid reaction

A spectrophotometric study of two reported drug interferences in an aqueous Zimmermann reaction for 17-ketosteroids has been described. One drug, Tegretol, did not interfere spectrally with the 17-ketosteroid determination because its Zimmermann reaction spectrum was displaced far enough toward the ultraviolet so there was no significant superimposition of its spectrum with that of 17-ketosteroids. The other drug, Cephalothin, proved to be no problem analytically, because, even though it was Zimmermann-reactive, it was unextractable from acid hydrolyzed urines and therefore could not interfere in the color-forming step.     

17O NMR and density functional theory study of the dynamics of the carboxylate groups in DOTA complexes of lanthanides in aqueous solution

The rotation of the carboxylate groups in DOTA (DOTA = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetate) complexes of several lanthanide ions and Sc(3+) was investigated with density functional theory (DFT) calculations and with variable temperature (17)O NMR studies at 4.7-18.8 T. The data obtained show that the rotation is much slower than the other dynamic processes taking place in these complexes. The exchange between the bound and unbound carboxylate oxygen atoms for the largest Ln(3+) ions (La(3+)→Sm(3+)) follows a pathway via a transition state in which both oxygens of the carboxylate group are bound to the Ln(3+) ion, whereas for the smaller metal ions (Tm(3+), Lu(3+), Sc(3+)) the transition state has a fully decoordinated carboxylate group. The activation free energies show a steady increase from about 75 to 125-135 kJ·mol(-1) going from La(3+) to Lu(3+). This computed trend is consistent with the results of the (17)O NMR measurements. Fast exchange between bound and unbound carboxylate oxygen atoms was observed for the diamagnetic La-DOTA, whereas for Pr-, Sm-, Lu-, and Sc-DOTA the exchange was slow on the NMR time scale. The trends in the linewidths for the various metal ions as a function of the temperature agree with trends in the rates as predicted by the DFT calculations.     

1H and 17O NMR relaxometric study in aqueous solution of Gd(III) complexes of EGTA-like derivatives bearing methylenephosphonic groups

The Gd(III) complexes of three new octadentate chelators, prepared by substitution of four, two, and one carboxylate groups of EGTA with phosphonate groups, have been investigated by 1H and 17O NMR relaxometric techniques in aqueous solutions. The analysis of the solvent proton relaxivity data as a function of pH, temperature, and magnetic field strength (nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) profiles) in combination with the 17O transverse relaxation rate data at variable temperature allowed assessing the hydration state of the complexes, the occurrence of pH-dependent oligomerization processes for the tetraphosphonate derivative, the presence of a well-defined second sphere of hydration that markedly contributes to the relaxivity, and the values of the structural and dynamic relaxation parameters. In addition, in the case of the monophosphonate derivative the presence of a coordinated water molecule has allowed evaluation of the kinetic parameters of the exchange process, highly relevant for the possible use of this Gd(III) complex as an MRI probe. The rate of exchange of the water molecule, (298)k(ex) = 4.2 x 10(8)s(-1), is one of the highest measured so far for a nonacoordinate Gd(III) chelate and optimal for developing contrast-enhancing probes of high efficacy at high magnetic fields.
