1D and 2D solid state NMR investigations of the framework structure of As-synthesized AlPO4-14

The framework structure of As-synthesized A1PO₄-14 has been investigated with a combination of different one-dimensional ²⁷Al and ³¹P solid state NMR techniques and ²⁷Al/³¹P double resonance methods. The results are found to be fully consistent with the assumed structural model. ²⁷Al MAS and DOR experiments at three different magnetic field strengths together with simulations show the presence of two tetrahedral sites, one pentacoordinated and one octahedral aluminum site. The ²⁷Al quadrupolar coupling constants and the ³¹P isotropic chemical shifts of the tetrahedral sites correlate well with tetrahedral shear-strain parameters and mean P-O-A1 bond angles, respectively. These correlations allow one to assign all of the NMR resonances to specific T-sites in the proposed framework structure. The assignments are then further confirmed by the application of three different two-dimensional heteronuclear correlation methods (i.e., ²⁷Al → ³¹P TEDOR, CP, and INEPT) which reveal the connectivities between AlO_x and PO₄ polyhedra. The two-dimensional INEPT experiment is applied here for the first time in the solid state.     

The Al DOR NMR characterization of the molecular sieve AlPO4-8

²⁷Al double rotation (DOR) NMR spectroscopy has been applied to investigate the framework ordering in the aluminophosphate molecular sieve AlPO₄-8 during the hydration process. Relative well-resolved peaks in the DOR spectra of both dehydrated and successively rehydrated AlPO₄-8 allow the isotropic shifts and the quadrupolar shifts to be correlated with the local framework structure. The rather complex interaction of water with AlPO₄-8 occurs in a specific way, not randomly. For dehydrated AlPO₄-8 efforts are shown to correlate respectively the isotropic shifts to the mean Al-O-P angles and the quadrupolar coupling constants to the shear strains of the different aluminium sites.     

The surface structure of catalysts activated with hydrogen donors as elucidated by multinuclear solid-state NMR

¹H, ²⁷Al and ³¹P MAS, and ¹³C and ²⁹Si CP/MAS NMR spectroscopies, were used to characterize catalysts of Pd supported on various solids including SiO₂, AlPO₄ and Mg₃(PO₄)₂ that were activated with the chiral hydrogen-donor limonene. The above-mentioned techniques were used to check for the formation of an organopalladium complex between Pd²⁺ atoms and the olefin bonds in the limonene molecule on the catalyst surface. The results are compared with those obtained for catalysts activated in a hydrogen stream.     

Double-resonance decoupling for resolution enhancement of 31P solid-state MAS and 27Al --> 31P MQHETCOR NMR

27Al decoupling has been used to remove residual J-coupling interactions between 31P and 27Al in microporous aluminophosphates AlPO4-14 and AlPO4-40. In combination with 1H high-power decoupling, 27Al adapted decoupling yields 31P spectra with optimal sensitivity and resolution. The importance of double-resonance decoupling is further demonstrated by incorporating this technique in the MQHETCOR sequence. Unambiguous assignment of all the AlPO4-14 nuclear magnetic resonances is achieved by combining multiple-quantum evolution in the 27Al dimension and double-resonance decoupling in the 31P acquisition domain.     

Multinuclear NMR studies on the sol-gel preparation of sodium aluminophosphate glasses

Sodium aluminophosphate gels and glasses in the system NaPO₃–Al₂O₃ with P/Al ratios ranging from 9:1 to 1:1 have been synthesized by a novel sol–gel route based on the reaction of aluminum lactate with sodium polyphosphate in aqueous solution. The route from the solution to the gel and the final glass was monitored in situ by liquid and solid state NMR techniques, characterizing the influence of composition and pH on the hydrolysis, polymerization, and vitrification processes. The site distribution in the xerogels is strongly influenced by the gel-processing temperature. At temperatures near 150°C ligation with lactate groups can be nearly suppressed, resulting in maximum Al/P connectivity in the gel. Annealing the gels at temperatures near 400°C produces significant structural rearrangements, resulting in a glassy network that has close structural similarity to the glasses derived from the usual melt-cooling procedure at 1100–1450°C. This has been confirmed by extensive ²⁷Al, ³¹P and ²³Na MAS NMR as well as ²⁷Al{³¹P} and ²⁷Al {¹H} double resonance experiments. Compared to melt-cooling, the sol–gel process permits a significant extension of the glass-forming region towards higher alumina contents.     

Multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning NMR with cross-polarization: Spectral editing of high-resolution spectra of quadrupolar nuclei

An experiment is presented that combines the multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning (MQMAS) technique with cross-polarization (CP). As a preliminary test of this new method, we measured and compared the ²⁷Al 3QMAS and ¹⁹F → ²⁷A1 CP 3QMAS spectra of a fluorinated AlPO₄ aluminophosphate. Complete discrimination between the fluorinated and nonfluorinated Al sites was easily achieved, which demonstrates the usefulness of CP MQMAS for spectral editing. Future applications of this experiment will include other spin pairs and heteronuclear correlation NMR spectroscopy.

In vivo 31P MRS of human brain at high/ultrahigh fields: a quantitative comparison of NMR detection sensitivity and spectral resolution between 4 T and 7 T

The primary goal of this study was to establish a rigorous approach for determining and comparing the NMR detection sensitivity of in vivo ³¹P MRS at different field strengths (B₀). This was done by calculating the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) achieved within a unit sampling time at a given field strength. In vivo ³¹P spectra of human occipital lobe were acquired at 4 and 7 T under similar experimental conditions. They were used to measure the improvement of the human brain ³¹P MRS when the field strength increases from 4 to 7 T. The relaxation times and line widths of the phosphocreatine (PCr) resonance peak and the RF coil quality factors (Q) were also measured at these two field strengths. Their relative contributions to SNR at a given field strength were analyzed and discussed. The results show that in vivo ³¹P sensitivity was significantly improved at 7 T as compared with 4 T. Moreover, the line-width of the PCr resonance peak showed less than a linear increase with increased B₀, which leads to a significant improvement in ³¹P spectral resolution. These findings indicate the advantage of high-field strength to improve in vivo ³¹P MRS quality in both sensitivity and spectral resolution. This advantage should improve the reliability and applicability of in vivo ³¹P MRS in studying high-energy phosphate metabolism, phospholipid metabolism and cerebral biogenetics in the human at both normal and diseased states noninvasively. Finally, the approach used in this study for calculating in vivo ³¹P MRS sensitivity provides a general tool in estimating the relative NMR detection sensitivity for any nuclear spin at a given field strength.

Spin-lattice relaxation times and nuclear overhauser enhancement effect for P metabolites in model solutions at two frequencies: Implications for in vivo spectroscopy

The relaxation time T₁ values and nuclear Overhauser enhancement factor for ³¹P signal were determined in model solutions of metabolites ATP, PCr and Pi, and AMP at two frequencies and in H₂O and ²H₂O solutions. The data were analyzed to resolve the contribution of different relaxation mechanisms. A knowledge of NOE is important in the light of recent applications of double resonance methods to enhance the sensitivity of in vivo ³¹P spectroscopy. The results show that chemical shift anisotropy is the dominant mechanism for ³¹P in ATP at the high field, whereas the dipolar interaction mechanism is the main feature for the ³¹P relaxation of PCr and Pi. The dipolar mechanism responsible for NOE originates from interactions of solvent water with ³¹P moiety. Implications for in vivo spectroscopy are indicated.

Residual 31P, 35,37Cl dipolar coupling in 31P MAS spectra of chlorocyclophosphazenes

In ³¹P MAS NMR spectra of chlorocyclophosphazenes, characteristic splittings have been observed for PCl or PCl₂ groups. At different applied magnetic fields, the fine structure and total width of the patterns change in a characteristic way, demonstrating that the splittings are due to indirect spin–spin and residual dipolar interactions with the chlorine nuclei directly bonded to phosphorus. For trans-nongeminal N₃P₃Cl₃(NMe₂)₃ and N₃P₃Cl₆ as examples, the spectra have been analyzed to obtain information on chlorine nuclear quadrupole coupling constants and ^35,37Cl, ³¹P indirect spin–spin coupling constants. Neglect of these interactions may result in misinterpretations of the multiplicity in ³¹P MAS spectra of chlorophosphazenes.

Alzheimer''s disease histologically proven studied by MRI and MRS: Two cases

Two patients affected by severe Alzheimer's disease (AD) were investigated by MRI and image-guided ³¹P MRS. In one case, ¹H MRS was additionally performed. In both cases the diagnosis of AD was confirmed, post mortem, by the pathologist. The spectral parameters of the ³¹P MR spectra were estimated by fitting the ³¹P MR signals in the time domain. Our ³¹P MRS results suggest that it is possible to detect the membrane catabolism, as indexed with the level of PDE resonances visible in in vivo ³¹P MRS, at least in severe AD cases. The ¹H spectrum from AD brain showed a marked decrease of NAA signal respect to choline.
