Phase diagram of the tetramethylammonium heptadecafluorononanoate (TMAHFN)/D2O system as determined by 2H and 14N NMR

The high resolution phase diagram of the tetramethylammonium heptadecafluorononanoate (TMAHFN)/D₂O system has been mapped out using ²H and ¹⁴NNMR spectroscopy. The ¹⁴N quadruple splittings are more than an order of magnitude larger than corresponding ²H splittings, while the line widths are only two to three times larger. Thus, ¹⁴NNMR offers an order of magnitude improvement over ²H NMR in the resolution of the spectra from coexisting phases. The ²H spectra of samples in biphasic regions are often complicated by chemical exchange of D₂O molecules between coexisting phases, particularly at low TMAHFN concentrations. Analysis of the ²H line shapes of a TMAHFN/D₂O sample with a weight fraction of TMAHFN of 0.230 obtained at various times following cooling of the sample into the isotropic/nematic biphasic region shows that the mean diameter for the dispersed nematic droplet grows from about 7 to about 26 μm over a period of 2 h. At a mean droplet size of 7 μm the exchange of TMA⁺ ions between the coexisting phases is slow on the NMR time-scale and exchange effects are not observed in ¹⁴N spectra. The TMAHFN/D₂O phase diagram exhibits the generic form of those of the CsPFO/water and APFO/D₂O systems, which are the only other systems composed of stable discotic micelles for which high resolution phase diagrams are currently available, but the nematic phase is displaced to smaller TMAHFN concentrations. Specifically, a discotic nematic phase N_D⁺, intermediate between an isotropic micellar phase I and a lamellar phase L, exists for weight fractions of TMAHFN between 0.149 (φ = 0.105) and 0.420 (φa = 0.325) and temperatures between 277.3 and 327.6 K.     

Effect of molecular dynamics and modulated structure on H NMR spectrum studied in [Mg(H2O)6][SiF6]

The spectrum of magnetic resonance is typically affected by a modulated structure in an incommensurate phase, resulting in the broadened spectrum characterized by ‘edge singularities’. We demonstrate that the modulated structure in the crystal where molecular motion exists is responsible for the narrowing of the spectrum in the fast motional region by means of the simulation of ²H NMR spectrum of [Mg(H₂O)₆][SiF₆]. The program developed by combining the theories of phase solitons in the incommensurate phase and motional change of ²H NMR spectrum was used for the simulation. We obtained a good agreement between the theoretical ²H NMR spectrum and experimental one for [Mg(H₂O)₆][SiF₆].     

固体NMR研究PAA/PEO共混物中氢键相互作用与结构演化

分子间相互作用是决定材料结构和性能的关键因素之一,而如何在分子水上实现对复杂相互作用分子的检测仍然是一个挑战性课题。本工作首先在不同p H值条下以聚丙烯酸/聚环氧乙烷(PAA/PEO)的混合水溶液制备了系列的固体薄膜,然后采用多种基于连续相调制多脉冲技术的一维和二维~1H多脉冲去耦(CRAMPS)固体NMR新技术,并结合高分辨~(13)C交叉极化魔角旋转(CPMAS)、~(23)Na多量子(MQ)等多核固体NMR实验,对PAA/PEO聚合物共混物的微观结构和动力学进行了原位和系统的研究。通过不同类型的~1H高分辨CRAMPS实验检测到共混物中包含多种不同类型质子:通过氢键相互作用形成二聚体的COOH基团、自由COOH基团、与水结合的COOH基团和主链基团。随着p H值的升高,除主链质子外,大部分其它区域的信号都明显降低,这是由于PAA与PEO以及水的氢键作用减弱所致。这些CRAMPS NMR技术也被用来阐明不同p H值制备的样品中不同基团的分子运动性。此外,二维~1H-~1H自旋交换NMR实验提供了关于聚合物PAA与PEO大分子链间、以及水与聚合物的相互作用。~1H自旋扩散实验表明,在这些共混物中明显存在相微观相分离的结构,并且测定的分散相区尺寸约为17 nm。~(23)Na MQMAS实验揭示了在共混物中存在两种类型~(23)Na位,一种是自由的钠离子,另一种是与大分子相互作用的Na离子。特别是通过~1H-检测的~(23)Na-~1H CPMAS实验揭示了Na~+离子的位置远离PEO而与PAA临近。上述这些SSNMR实验结果在分子水平上提供了氢键相互作用对PAA/PEO共混物微观结构和动力学影响的详细信息,可以获得不同p H值对PAA与PEO的氢键作用、相容性、微观结构、水-聚合物相互作用和不同组分分子运动性的影响。在上述核磁共振研究的基础上,我们提出了一种新的PAA/PEO共混物的结构模型,该模型首次成功地揭示了不同的p H值对PAA/PEO共混物中微观结构和动力学的影响。本工作清楚地表明,固态核磁共振是在分子水平上研究具有复杂相互作用的多相聚合物材料的有力工具。本文的研究工作对于探索检测聚合物弱相互作用的新方法和发展基于氢键相互作用的聚合物新材料的开发具有重要意义。     

Molecular motion and phase transition in perovskite-type (CH3)nNH4−nSnCl3 (n=1–4) studied by proton NMR spin–lattice relaxation

Powder X-ray diffraction, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra, and ¹H NMR spin–lattice relaxation times, T₁, were measured for (CH₃)_nNH_4−nSnCl₃ (n=1–4). From the Rietveld analysis, it is shown that all four compounds crystallize into deformed perovskite-type structures at room temperature. The temperature dependence of ¹H T₁ was analyzed in terms of the CH₃ reorientation and other motions of the whole cation. Except for the phase transition in CH₃NH₃SnCl₃, which is from monoclinic to rhombohedral at 331 K, ¹H T₁ was continuously changed at other phase transitions in this compound as well as in the n=2–4 compounds, suggesting that the transitions are not caused by the change of the motional state of the cation but by an instability of the [SnCl₃]_nⁿ⁻ perovskite lattice.     

部分还原二氧化钛的NMR和EPR研究

Partially reduced TiO₂ nanomaterials have attracted significant interest because of their visible-light activity for catalysis and photodegradation. Herein, we prepared a partially reduced anatase TiO₂ (Re-A-TiO₂) nanoparticle material using a fast combustion method, demonstrating good activity toward decomposing methyl orange under visible light irradiation. The surface structure of the prepared material, after being surface-selectively ¹⁷O-labeled with H₂¹⁷O (¹⁷O-enriched water), was studied via ¹⁷O and ¹H solid-state magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and the obtained results were compared to those of non-reduced anatase TiO₂ (A-TiO₂). The EPR results showed that the concentrations of paramagnetic species (i.e., oxygen vacancies (OV) and Ti³⁺) in Re-A-TiO₂ were much higher than that in A-TiO₂, while the former was associated with a higher OV/Ti³⁺ ratio. The intensities of the EPR signals were significantly affected by the adsorbed water, and this phenomenon was explored in combination with ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The ¹H species on Re-A-TiO₂ appeared at larger chemical shifts, denoting the increased acidity of the sample, and these ¹H species on Re-A-TiO₂ were more difficult to remove than those on A-TiO₂. On the other hand, different features were observed for the signals arising from the two-coordinated oxygen atoms (μ₂-O) in ¹⁷O NMR, suggesting a typical anatase TiO₂(101) surface on A-TiO₂, but a more complex surface environment for Re-A-TiO₂. Furthermore, a larger amount of hydroxyl groups (OH) were observed on Re-A-TiO₂ compared to that on A-TiO₂, indicating a larger proportion of exposed (001) facets on Re-A-TiO₂. However, the μ₂-O signals broadened and became similar when the drying temperature was increased to 100 ℃, indicating a non-faceted anatase TiO₂ surface in such conditions. Based on the EPR and NMR results, a significant fraction of the OH species is believed to be formed from the reaction of the paramagnetic centers and adsorbed water molecules. The ¹H→¹⁷O cross polarization (CP) MAS and two-dimensional heteronuclear correlation (2D HETCOR) NMR spectra were used to verify the spatial proximity of the hydrogen and oxygen species, confirming the spectral assignments of a strongly adsorbed water and one type of surface OH species. In particular, the ¹H NMR signals at approximately 11 ppm were ascribed to the hydrogen species in the intramolecular hydrogen bond. In summary, this study investigated the paramagnetic species and surface structure of anatase TiO₂ materials by combining EPR along with ¹H and ¹⁷O solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The differences in the surface structures of Re-A-TiO₂ and A-TiO₂ should be closely related to their different properties toward the photodegradation of methyl orange.     

Conformation of N,N′-bis (2,6-dimethylmorpholino), N″-dichloroacetyl phosphoric triamide: CHCl2C(O)NHP(O)[2,6(CH3)2(NC4H6O)]2. NMR and ab initio studies

Using phosphorus pentachloride as a substrate, a new carbacyclamidophosphate, N,N″-bis (2,6-dimethylmorpholino), N″-dichloroacetyl phosphoric triamide (1) has been synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ³¹P and ¹³C NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Due to the presence of methyl disubstituted morpholine rings and the dichloroacetamide group, several conformers can be considered for this molecule. The ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectra for the isomeric mixture of synthesized compound showed four signals with the ratio 67.1; 19.0; 12.2; 1.7, which indicates four independent conformers. The ¹H NMR spectra confirmed these results. The conformational space and the molecular geometry of the molecule in the gaseous phase have been studied using the B3LYP method of approximation, with 6-31G and 6-311++G^** basis sets.     

Dilatometric, dielectric and NMR studies of structural phase transitions of the (CH3NH3)3Bi2Cl9 (MACB) crystals

The phase transitions and molecular motions of the methylammonium cations were investigated in the (CH₃NH₃)₃Bi₂Cl₉ (MACB) crystal by dilatometric and dielectric measurements, and by the measurements of the ¹H spin-lattice relaxation times and second moment of the ¹H NMR absorptions over a wide temperature range. Structural phase transitions, weakly first order at 247 K (III ↔ II) and continuous at 352 K (II ↔ I), were detected by the dilatometric technique. The ¹H NMR measurements revealed the presence of the uniaxial reorientations of the three non-equivalent methylammonium cations in the lowest temperature phase (III).

NMR Study of Pore Surface and Size in a Mesoporous Material FSM-16

Surface structure, pore size distribution and pore wall thickness of a mesoporous material FSM-16 have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), ^lH and ²⁹Si MAS NMR and ¹H liquid-state NMR, and by applying surface silylation as a probe. Concentrations of surface hydroxyl groups for FSM-16 are estimated from ²⁹Si and ¹H MAS NMR, which are about 3×l0²¹ g^-1, corresponding to approximately 3 nm^-2. O₂ molecules contribute to ²⁹Si spin-lattice relaxation of Q² and Q³ as well as Q⁴, suggesting thin wall thickness. ¹H MAS NMR spectra indicate the presence of isolated and hydrogen-bonded hydroxyl groups. Both hydroxyl groups are silylated, where the silylated fraction is about 50%. The spatial distribution of surface hydroxyl groups is estimated from the line width in ¹H static spectra. A rather homogeneous distribution is demonstrated in one of the samples. The sample with less homogeneous distribution has a larger affinity for moisture. Pore size and pore wall thickness were determined by ¹H NMR measurements on water saturated FSM-16 samples, which are in good agreement with literature values obtained by N₂ adsorption isotherms and transmission electron micrographs on a similar sample. In benzene saturated samples, a non-freezing surface layer of benzene is much thicker than that of water, which indicates a stronger interaction between benzene and the FSM-16 surface.     

The structure and conformation of a mesogenic compound between almost zero and almost complete orientational order

The conformational distributions in molecules that form liquid crystalline phases are predicted to depend strongly on orientational order. Results are presented here to test this hypothesis. The mesogen 4-hexyloxy-4'-cyanobiphenyl (6OCB) has been studied by NMR spectroscopy in the isotropic phase and in the nematic phase. In the isotropic phase the field-induced orientational ordering produces small dipolar couplings between ¹³C and ¹H nuclei, which were determined from the ¹³C spectra. Couplings between ¹H nuclei were also obtained using 2D selective refocusing experiments. In the nematic phase, both ¹H-¹H dipolar couplings and quadrupolar splittings for deuterium nuclei were measured for partially-deuterated samples. Both proton and deuterium spectra were also obtained for 6OCB in an equimolar mixture with 4-(ethoxybenzylidene)-4'-butylaniline (EBBA). This mixture exhibits SmA and SmB phases. The data obtained from these experiments has been analysed to yield the probability distribution of the conformations in this molecule generated by rotations about bonds. It is found that there is a substantial influence of the orientational order of the molecules on these distributions.     

A 2H NMR study of order and dynamics in the cubic I1 phase of the dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride/water system

The micellar cubic phase I₁ of the dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (C₁₂TACl)/water system has been studied by ²H NMR spectroscopy. Relaxation rates of selectively deuteriated surfactant were measured at several frequencies down to 0.5 MHz in the temperature range 25-61°C. The results are interpreted within models for the reorientational dynamics in I1 phases and it is concluded that the remaining order after surface diffusion and aggregate rotation is small and does not vary substantially with temperature. The results are discussed in relation to the two prevailing models for the structure of these phases as suggested (separately) by Fontell and Vargas. At 0°C the ²H NMR spectrum from perdeuteriated n-dodecane solubilized in this phase shows static quadrupole splittings with a magnitude that is in good agreement with the results obtained from the analysis of the relaxation data.

H, C, N NMR, ESI mass spectral and single crystal X-ray structural characterization of three spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3′-oxindoles]

Three spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3′-oxindoles], 1,1′,2,2′,5′,6′,7′,7′a-octahydro-2-oxo-1′-phenyl-spiro[3H-indole-3,3′-[3H]-pyrrolizine]-2′-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1), 1,1′,2,2′,5′,6′,7′,7′a-octahydro-2-oxo-1′-nitro-2′-phenyl-spiro[3H-indole-3, 3′-[3H]-pyrrolizine] (2) and 1,1′,2,2′,5′,6′,7′,7′a-octahydro-2-oxo-1′-nitro-2′-(4″-chlorophenyl)-spiro[3H-indole-3,3′-[3H]-pyrrolizine] (3) have been synthesized and their ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N spectra assigned. The chemical shift assignments are based on Pulsed Field Gradient (PFG) Double Quantum Filter (DQF) ¹H, ¹H correlation spectroscopy (COSY), PFG ¹H, ¹³C Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Coherence (HMQC) and PFG ¹H,X (X = ¹³C and ¹⁵N) Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation (HMBC) experiments. The single crystal X-ray structures of 1–3 have been determined. Compounds 1 and 2 crystallized in monoclinic space group C2/c and compound 3 in monoclinic space group P2₁/c, respectively. Also the ESI-TOF MS data of 1–3 are given.     

Microstructure determination of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone/butyl acrylate copolymers by NMR spectroscopy

The copolymer composition of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone/butyl acrylate (V/B) copolymers was determined from the quantitative ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectra. The monomer reactivity ratios for N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (V) and butyl acrylate (B) were found to be r_V=0.11±0.07, r_B=0.54±0.19, using the Kelen–Tudos and non-linear least-square error-in-variable (EVM) methods. The ¹³C{¹H} and ¹H NMR spectra of these copolymers are overlapping and complex. The complete spectral assignment of the carbon and proton NMR spectra were done by employing distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) and two-dimensional (2D) ¹³C–¹H heteronuclear single quantum correlation spectroscopy experiments. The 2D total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY) (¹H–¹H homonuclear TOCSY) NMR spectrum was used to ascertain the various geminal and vicinal couplings in the copolymer.     

Investigation of the proton mobility in CsH(SO4)0.76(SeO4)0.24 crystal by H NMR spectroscopy

Crystals of CsH(SO₄)_0.76(SeO₄)_0.24 formulation were studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The ¹H line-shape, the T₁ and T₂ relaxation times were determined as a function of temperature. The activation energies deduced from the temperature dependence of relaxation times were compared with the activation energy issued from conductivity measurements. The results obtained are discussed and supported by the Ngai model.     

Copolymer of tetraethylenepentamine and ethylene glycol diacrylate: Synthesis and degradation

A degradable polycation with high density of discrete charge was synthesized from tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and ethylene glycol diacrylate (EGDA) based on Michael addition and amidation. The cationic polymer synthesized here was denoted as PTE. Polymerization was monitored by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. According to ¹H NMR spectra, Michael addition proceeded more rapidly than amidation. After 6 h, there were no double bonds left, while amidation existed throughout the polymerization. In addition, when PTE was synthesized in chloroform and dichloromethane, respectively, there were some structural differences as shown by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The degradation laws of PTE in aqueous solution were studied by ¹H NMR and viscosity measurements. When PTE was dissolved in deionized water, degradation proceeded in high velocity. However, in NaH₂PO₄ aqueous solution, degradation was slowered. Degradation at 37 °C proceeded obviously more rapidly than that at 25 °C. A certain degree of amidation facilitated the reduction of degradation velocity. The effect of concentration on degradation was not obvious. Interestingly, PTE synthesized in CHCl₃ was degraded more rapidly than that in CH₂Cl₂.     

H, C NMR spectral and single crystal structural studies of toxaphene congeners. Quantum chemical calculations for preferred conformers of 2,5-endo,6-exo,8,9,9,10,10-octachloro-2-bornene and their DFT/GIAO C chemical shifts

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts for six toxaphene congeners: 2-exo,3-endo,6-exo,8,9,10-hexachloro- (1), 2-exo,3-endo,5-exo,9,9,10,10-heptachloro- (2), 2-exo,3-endo,6-exo,8,9,10,10-heptachloro- (3), 2-exo,3-endo,5-exo,6-endo,8,9,10-heptachloro- (4), 2-exo,3-endo,5-exo,6-endo,8,9,9,10-octachlorobornane (5) and 2,5-endo,6-exo,8,9,9,10,10-octachloro-2-bornene (6) are reported.

A single crystal X-ray structural analysis was made for compounds 1, 3, 4 and 6. The prevalences of two octachlorobornene rotamers (6a,6b) were elucidated by ab initio MO method and single point DFT/GIAO calculations for ¹³C chemical shifts. Theoretical calculations proved that the single crystal structure of 6 corresponds its most stable conformer in solution.     

Structural and spectral studies of a 1-N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazone derived from 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthaquinone

2-Hydroxy-1,4-naphthaquinone reacted with N(4)-ethylthiosemicarbazide in basic solution forms the 1-thiosemicarbazone. The crystal structure shows that the 2-hydroxy hydrogen is shifted to the remaining quinone oxygen resulting in the formation of a dimer due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding from each hydroxy group to the other molecule's quinone oxygen. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs between the amide NH and the imine thiosemicarbazone moiety, as well as between the hydrazinic NH and the quinone oxygen. This new compound's IR, UV and ¹H NMR spectra are included.
