钼(钨)-钼-硫簇合物的~(95)Mo NMR研究

对含有[MS4]2-（M＝Mo，W）单元的一系列钼（钨）-钼-硫簇合物进行了95MoNMR研究，定性分析了95Mo化学位移随金属原子配位数、配位金属种类和配位金属配体改变而变化的规律。结果表明，随着[MoS4]2-配位金属原子数的增加，[MoS4]2-上Mo的化学位移逐渐向高场移动，这可归因于低氧化态MO0上的电子通过硫桥离域到高氧化态的Mo上。为了解析Mo0上化学位移的实验结果，采用MM＋力场对[（OC）4MOS2MoS2]2-和[｛（OC）4Mo｝MoS4]2-的晶体结构进行几何优化，使之更接近于溶液中的结构，然后利用Fenske－Hall方法计算Mo原子上的净电荷分布，计算结果较好地好择了Mo和Mo0化学位移的变化趋势。     

High magnetic field solid‐state NMR analyses by combining MAS,MQ‐MAS,homo‐nuclear and hetero‐nuclear correlation experiments

A general strategy of structural analysis of alumina silicate by combining various solid‐state NMR measurements such as single pulse, multi‐quantum magic angle spinning, double‐quantum homo‐nuclear correlation under magic angle spinning (DQ‐MAS), and cross‐polarization hetero‐nuclear correlation (CP‐HETCOR) was evaluated with the aid of high magnetic field NMR (800 MHz for ¹H Larmor frequency) by using anorthite as a model material. The high magnetic field greatly enhanced resolution of ²⁷Al in single pulse, DQ‐MAS, and even in triple‐quantum magic angle spinning NMR spectra. The spatial proximities through dipolar couplings were probed by the DQ‐MAS methods for homo‐nuclear correlations between both ²⁷Al–²⁷Al and ²⁹Si–²⁹Si and by CP‐HETCOR for hetero‐nuclear correlations between ²⁷Al–²⁹Si in the anorthite framework. By combining various NMR methodologies, we elucidated detailed spatial correlations among various aluminum and silicon species in anorthite that was hard to be determined using conventional analytical methods at low magnetic field. Moreover, the presented approach is applicable to analyze other alumina‐silicate minerals. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

‘Click’ Functionalization of Cryogels Conveniently Verified and Quantified Using High‐Resolution MAS NMR Spectroscopy

Chemical modification reactions of alkyne containing polyHEMA‐based macroporous network structures (cryogels) by Cu(I) catalyzed azide‐alkyne ‘click’ cycloaddition reactions and their monitoring and quantification with high‐resolution magic angle spinning (hr‐MAS) NMR spectroscopy are reported. Complete conversion is obtained when benzylazide is reacted with the grafted alkyne function, but only partial conversion is observed when using azide‐modified poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG‐N₃). Subsequent addition of benzylazide consumes all remaining alkyne groups. All chemical modifications are easily monitored at each stage using hr‐MAS NMR spectroscopy. The alkyne functionality and the resulting triazole ring provide well resolved ¹H resonances to monitor and quantify the progress of such ‘click’ reactions in general.

     

Tungsten‐183 NMR study of cis‐[W(CO)4(PPh3)(4‐RC5H4N)]; effect of varying the σ donor strength of the pyridine

Tungsten‐183 NMR data are reported for the complexes cis‐[W(CO)₄(PPh₃)(4‐RC₅H₄N)] (R = H, Me, Ph, COMe, COPh, OMe, NMe₂, Cl, NO₂). The ¹⁸³W chemical shift (obtained by indirect detection using ³¹P) is found to correlate with the Hammett σ function for the group R, with ¹⁸³W shielding increasing approximately linearly with the donor strength of the pyridine over a range of 93 ppm. The X‐ray structures of cis‐[W(CO)₄(PPh₃)(4‐MeOC₅H₄N)] and cis‐[W(CO)₄(PPh₃)(4‐PhCOC₅H₄N)] are also reported. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

High‐resolution 15N solid‐state NMR investigations on borazine‐based precursors

Reference compounds based on borazine units and polyborylborazines have been characterized by ¹⁵N solid‐state NMR. The various nitrogen sites (B₃N, B₂NH, B₂NX (X = H, Me, ⁱPr), BN(H)X and BNX₂ (X = Me, ⁱPr) have been discriminated according to their cross‐polarization behaviour and chemical shift values, which range from ?265 to ?350 ppm. This has permitted the elucidation of the polymerization mechanism associated with the polycondensation of two borazine‐based derivatives. In particular, this technique appears to be a powerful investigation tool for finding whether the B₃N₃ rings are linked through three‐atom N? B? N aminoboryl bridges or connected by direct B? N bonds. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Indirect detection of the 183W and 57Fe nuclei using 119Sn‐relayed 1H,X correlation spectroscopy

Recently reported triple‐resonance Y‐relayed ¹H,X correlation experiments have been utilized to characterize ¹⁸³W and ⁵⁷Fe chemical shifts using ¹¹⁹Sn as the Y‐relaying nucleus instead of the previously used ³¹P. Application of an adaptation of Gudat's original INEPT/HMQC sequence results in a significant enhancement of the signal‐to‐noise (S/N) ratio for two‐dimensional ¹¹⁹Sn‐relayed ¹H,¹⁸³W and ¹H, ⁵⁷Fe correlation spectra with efficient detection of the transition metal nucleus in tungsten and iron complexes lacking an observable direct scalar coupling between the transition metal and any hydrogen nuclei. Strengths and shortcomings of the novel sequence and the original sequences reported by Gudat are discussed in the context of ¹¹⁹Sn‐relayed proton detection of very low frequency transition metal nuclei.

95Mo NMR: a useful tool for structural studies in solution

Oxomolybdenum(VI) complexes containing diverse ligands from an electronic and topological point of view have been analysed by means of ⁹⁵Mo NMR in solution with the purpose of using this technique as a tool to study their coordination chemistry and reactivity. The relationship between the electronic density on the metal tuned by the electron‐donor ability of the coordinated ligands and the ⁹⁵Mo chemical shift has been proved for mono‐ and bimetallic complexes showing a hexa‐ or hepta‐coordination around the metal centre. The different origins of the signal broadening (associated either to the symmetry of the metallic polyhedron or to the presence of isomers or to the ligand de‐coordination) have been also considered to rationalise the obtained data.

An experimental study of decoupling sequences for multiple-quantum and high-resolution MAS experiments in solid-state NMR

Recently, a sequence for heteronuclear dipolar decoupling in solid-state NMR, namely SWf-TPPM, was introduced by us. Under magic-angle spinning (MAS), the decoupling efficiency of the sequence was unaffected over a range of values for various experimental parameters such as the pulse length, pulse phase, and 1H resonance offset. We here demonstrate its use in multiple-quantum (MQ) and high-resolution (HR) MAS experiments. This sequence further improves the MQMAS spectra compared to the earlier reported decoupling sequences with improved immunity to any missets of the pulse length, pulse phase and decoupler offset. In contrast, for HRMAS, the simple CW scheme is as efficient as any of the decoupling schemes that were studied.     

Crystal structure of tetraethylammonium bis(tetracarbonylmolybdenum)-tetrathiotungstate, [EtN][(OC)MoSWSMo(CO)] and synthesis, infrared spectra, 95 Mo NMR spectra and cyclic voltammetry of new linear trinuclear Mo(W)–S carbonyl clusters containing mixed-valence metal atoms [(OC)MSM′SM(CO)]− (M, M′=Mo or W)

Four trinuclear molybdenum(tungsten)-sulfur carbonyl cluster compounds, [Et₄N]₂[(OC)₄Mo-S₂MoS₂Mo(CO)₄] (1), [Et₄N]₂[(OC)₄WS₂WS₂W(CO)₄] (2), [Et₄N]₂[(OC)₄MoS₂WS₂Mo(CO)₄] (3), [Et₄N]₂[(OC)₄WS₂MoS₂W(CO)₄] (4) have been prepared by both reaction of [M(CO)₄(S₂CNEt₂)]⁻ with M′S₄²− in MeOH and reaction of MeCN solution of M(CO)₆ with M′S₄²− in MeOH (M=Mo, W; M′=Mo, W). These complexes has been characterized by routine elemental analysis and spectroscopy and the structures of 1 and 3 have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The structure study reveals that the anion of 3 contains a heteronuclear Mo–W–S trimetallic core, [MoS₂WS₂Mo]²−, consisting of two perpendicular rhombic MoS₂W units sharing a tungsten atom. The Mo–W bond distances are 3.028(2) and 3.031(2) Å and the Mo–W–Mo angle is 176.04(5)°. The average bond lengths of W–S and Mo–S are 2.21 and 2.54 Å, respectively. The X-ray, structure, IR, CV (cyclic voltammetry) and 95 Mo NMR studies on these four cluster complexes indicated that these cluster complexes possess wide separated oxidation states of metal atoms and exhibit the charge transfer, M^L→M^HS₄ (M^L represents a low-valance metal atom and M^H a high valence metal atom), between the two different valence metallic centers in the cluster complexes. It has been found that the charge transfer, M^L→M^HS₄, in the complexes are: 1>4, 3>2, 1>3, 4>2, 1>2 and 34 implying the electron-donation ability of low-valence metal atoms in the complexes is Mo⁰>W⁰ and the electron-accepted ability of the high valence metal atoms in the complexes is Mo^VI>W^VI.     

A high-resolution MAS NMR study on the potential catalysts Mo/HBeta for olefin metathesis: The interaction of Mo species with HBeta zeolite

The interfacial interaction of Mo species with the HBeta zeolite was studied by multinuclear MAS NMR, XRD and N₂ adsorption. As proved by the quantitative ²⁷Al MAS NMR, this interaction is so strong as to dealuminate the framework of HBeta, and leads to a new peak appearing at −14 ppm, which indicates the formation of crystalline Al₂(MoO₄)₃. This can also be detected by XRD measurements when the Mo loading is as high as 9.0 wt.%. The corresponding quantitative ²⁹Si and ¹H MAS NMR spectra show that the amount of silanols and Brønsted acidic sites decrease obviously with increasing Mo loading. This also reveals an interaction between Mo species and HBeta support through an oxygen bridge resulting from condensation with the hydroxyls on the support. At higher Mo loadings, the interaction is so strong that it results in an extraction of aluminum from the zeolite framework, and subsequently appearance of Al₂(MoO₄)₃ and loss of Brønsted acidic sites. These can be correlated to the low catalytic activity of Mo/HBeta in metathesis of ethylene and 2-butylene to propylene.     

A High‐Pressure NMR Probe for Aqueous Geochemistry

A non‐magnetic piston‐cylinder pressure cell is presented for solution‐state NMR spectroscopy at geochemical pressures. The probe has been calibrated up to 20 kbar using in situ ruby fluorescence and allows for the measurement of pressure dependencies of a wide variety of NMR‐active nuclei with as little as 10 μL of sample in a microcoil. Initial ¹¹B NMR spectroscopy of the H₃BO₃–catechol equilibria reveals a large pressure‐driven exchange rate and a negative pressure‐dependent activation volume, reflecting increased solvation and electrostriction upon boron‐catecholate formation. The inexpensive probe design doubles the current pressure range available for solution NMR spectroscopy and is particularly important to advance the field of aqueous geochemistry.     

含硫有机膦多酸衍生物α–[RP(S)]2PW9O345-(R = –C6H5, –C6H11)的合成及结构表征

In the presence of Bu4NBr acting as phasetransfer reagent, organothiophosphoryl polyoxotungstate derivatives α-[RP(S)]2PW9O54^5- (R=C6Hs, C6H11) have been obtained by reaction of the trivacant β-[PW9O34]^9- anions with electrophilic C6H5P(S)Cl2 or C6H11P(S)Cl2 in acetonitrile. These new organic-inorganic hybrid anions have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ^31P and ^183W NMR spectroscopy. The collective application of the spectroscopy data of these new species indicates that the hybrid anion consists of an α-[PW9O34] framework on which are grafted two RP(S) groups through P-O-W bridges. The five-line ^183W spectra indicate that the hybrid anions possess Cs symmetry in acetonitrile.     

Physical properties of the nonlinear optical material Li2B4O7 studied by static NMR and MAS NMR

The mechanisms behind the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of Li₂B₄O₇ are characterized by ⁷Li static nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR. Furthermore, the structural nature of 3-coordinate BO₃ and 4-coordinate BO₄ groups is also characterized by the same method. For ⁷Li and ¹¹B, the spin-lattice relaxation time T₁ in laboratory frame gradually decreases with increasing temperature, whereas the spin-lattice relaxation time T_1ρ in rotating frame, which differs from T₁, is nearly constant. In addition, the activation energies of ⁷Li and ¹¹B, which are obtained via the values of T₁ and T_1ρ, are also compared.     

High‐resolution magic angle spinning 1H NMR measurement of ligand concentration in solvent‐saturated chromatographic beads

A method based on ¹H high‐resolution magic angle spinning NMR has been developed for measuring concentration accurately in heterogeneous materials like that of ligands in chromatography media. Ligand concentration is obtained by relating the peak integrals for a butyl ligand in the spectrum of a water‐saturated chromatography medium to the integral of the added internal reference. The method is fast, with capacity of 10 min total sample preparation and analysis time per sample; precise, with a reproducibility expressed as 1.7% relative standard deviation; and accurate, as indicated by the excellent agreement of derived concentration with that obtained previously by ¹³C single‐pulse excitation MAS NMR. The effects of radiofrequency field inhomogeneity, spin rate, temperature increase due to spinning, and distribution and re‐distribution of medium and reference solvent both inside the rotor during spinning and between bulk solvent and pore space are discussed in detail. © 2016 The Authors Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.     

Heating and temperature gradients of lipid bilayer samples induced by RF irradiation in MAS solid‐state NMR experiments

The MAS solid‐state NMR has been a powerful technique for studying membrane proteins within the native‐like lipid bilayer environment. In general, RF irradiation in MAS NMR experiments can heat and potentially destroy expensive membrane protein samples. However, under practical MAS NMR experimental conditions, detailed characterization of RF heating effect of lipid bilayer samples is still lacking. Herein, using ¹H chemical shift of water for temperature calibration, we systematically study the dependence of RF heating on hydration levels and salt concentrations of three lipids in MAS NMR experiments. Under practical ¹H decoupling conditions used in biological MAS NMR experiments, three lipids show different dependence of RF heating on hydration levels as well as salt concentrations, which are closely associated with the properties of lipids. The maximum temperature elevation of about 10 °C is similar for the three lipids containing 200% hydration, which is much lower than that in static solid‐state NMR experiments. The RF heating due to salt is observed to be less than that due to hydration, with a maximum temperature elevation of less than 4 °C in the hydrated samples containing 120 mmol l^?1 of salt. Upon RF irradiation, the temperature gradient across the sample is observed to be greatly increased up to 20 °C, as demonstrated by the remarkable broadening of ¹H signal of water. Based on detailed characterization of RF heating effect, we demonstrate that RF heating and temperature gradient can be significantly reduced by decreasing the hydration levels of lipid bilayer samples from 200% to 30%.

Solid‐State Dynamics of Uranyl Polyoxometalates

Understanding fundamental uranyl polyoxometalate (POM) chemistry in solution and the solid state is the first step to defining its future role in the development of new actinide materials and separation processes that are vital to every step of the nuclear fuel cycle. Many solid‐state geometries of uranyl POMs have been described, but we are only beginning to understand their chemical behavior, which thus far includes the role of templates in their self‐assembly, and the dynamics of encapsulated species in solution. This study provides unprecedented detail into the exchange dynamics of the encapsulated species in the solid state through Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy. Although it was previously recognized that capsule‐like molybdate and uranyl POMs exchange encapsulated species when dissolved in water, analogous exchange in the solid state has not been documented, or even considered. Here, we observe the extremely high rate of transport of Li⁺ and aqua species across the uranyl shell in the solid state, a process that is affected by both temperature and pore blocking by larger species. These results highlight the untapped potential of emergent f‐block element materials and vesicle‐like POMs.     

HR‐MAS NMR metabolomics of ‘Swingle’ citrumelo rootstock genetically modified to overproduce proline

The accumulation of proline is a typical physiological response to abiotic stresses in higher plants. ‘Swingle’ citrumelo, an important rootstock for citrus production, has been modified with a mutated Δ¹‐pyrroline‐5‐carboxylate synthetase gene (VaP5CSF129A) linked to the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter to induce the overproduction of free proline. This paper presents a comparative metabolomic study of nontransgenic versus transgenic ‘Swingle’ citrumelo plants with high endogenous proline. ¹H high‐resolution magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and multivariate analysis showed significant differences in some metabolites between the nontransgenic and transgenic leaves and roots. The overproduction of proline has reduced the sucrose content in transgenic leaves, revealing a metabolic cost for these plants. In roots, the high level of free proline acts for the adjustment of cation–anion balance, causing the reduction of acetic acid content. The same sucrose level in roots indicates that they can be considered as sucrose sink. Similar behavior may be waited for fruits produced on transgenic rootstock.
