A field-cycling NMR investigation of resonant spin-lattice relaxation features arising from tunnelling methyl groups

(1)H nuclear spin-lattice relaxation has been investigated in sodium acetate trihydrate and sorbic acid using field-cycling NMR in the solid state. The relaxation is dominated by the reorientation of the methyl groups. Resonant features arising from coherent tunnelling are observed in both the magnetic field dependence of the spin lattice relaxation rate, T(1)(-1)(B(z)) and in the inverse temperature dependence, T(1)(-1)(1/T). The two systems have different barrier heights and tunnelling frequencies, providing different perspectives on the tunnel resonance phenomena. The magnetic field dependence enables different spectral density components to be separately investigated and in the carboxylic acid, sorbic acid, concerted proton transfer in the hydrogen bonds is also identified at low field and low temperature. The methyl hindering barriers and the correlation times characterising the reorientational dynamics has been accurately determined in both materials.     

Rotational tunnelling splitting of a chain of four coupled methyl groups

It is our goal to obtain a reliable prediction of the rotational tunnelling spectrum to be expected for a long chain of coupled one-dimensional quantum rotors. The problem is intractable by the simple methods used so far for up to three coupled methyl groups. Therefore, an efficient, nevertheless sufficiently precise method for solving the stationary Schrödinger equation of interacting methyl groups is developed first; it proves to be valid for a broad range of not too weak potential strengths. Then, three scenarios are investigated: they differ with respect to the relative strength of the single-rotor potential and the interaction potential. For each scenario, we illustrate the dependence of the energy level scheme on the number of coupled groups. For strong coupling and weak single-particle potential, the characteristic features of the energy level scheme of interacting methyls are most clearly observable: For as few as four coupled methyl groups we predict tunnelling spectra which are hardly distinguishable from single-methyl spectra. However, the collective behaviour is still important for the value of the tunnelling splitting. Therefore, the interpretation of such a spectrum in terms of single-methyl tunnelling is obvious but misleading with respect to the potential seen by a methyl group in the crystal.     

Structure factors for neutron scattering on tunnelling methyl groups in nitromethane

The elastic, quasielastic and inelastic structure factors for neutron scattering on CH₃ groups tunnelling in a sinusoidal hindering potential with threefold symmetry are calculated as a function of the momentum transferQ. A comparison is made with data on methyl groups in nitromethane obtained with high resolution inelastic neutron scattering experiments at high momentum transfer.     

Spin-lattice relaxation by tunnelling motions of methyl groups in some organic compounds

The proton spin-lattice relaxation times, T₁, of methyl groups in (CH₃CO)₂O, CH₃COCl, CH₃ COBr and (CH₃)₂S₂ have been measured below melting points at 52 MHz. The observed T₁ minima display the presence of tunnelling rotation. From the fit of the experimental results the ground, the first excited state tunnelling frequencies and the energy difference between the ground and the first excited states of the compounds have been estimated.     

Detection of proton NMR-signals of methyl groups at arbitrary temperatures of the tunnelling system

The lock-in detected proton NMR-signals of methyl groups in solids is considered at arbitrary temperatures of the spin system. In the high temperature approximation the results reduce to those of Goldman and others, extended with coupled spin-lattice relaxation equations. At low temperatures of the tunnelling system some quite unusual features are to be expected, due to spin symmetry conversion causing time- as well as temperature-dependent lineshape and deviation of the magnetization from the Curie law. In particular, the lock-in detected signals in the absorption and dispersion modes are discussed.     

Proton decoupled 13C NMR imaging

Proton decoupled 13C images were obtained at 2.1 Tesla. 13C[1H] images showed an increase in sensitivity over nondecoupled 13C images because of the nuclear Overhauser effect and elimination of multiple lines from scalar 13C-1H spin-spin couplings. The improvement in S/N for 13C[1H] images was smaller than expected because of a significant decrease in decoupling efficiency when 13C spin echoes were acquired in a readout gradient. Images of 13C compounds that had a wide range of chemical shifts showed separated and/or overlapping images, which is consistent with chemical shift imaging artifacts seen in 1H images. This work examines the technical constraints of acquiring and the difficulties of interpreting 13C[1H] images.

13C MAS NMR investigations of alkali doped C60

Results of¹³C MAS NMR measurements of the Rb _x C₆₀ system (x=2.75, 3, 4, 6) and the A₆C₆₀ compounds (A=K, Rb, Cs) are presented. Special attention was paid to sample preparation in order to suppress effects of impurities and lattice defects due to imperfect C₆₀ starting material. The¹³C MAS NMR measurements of the Rb _x C₆₀ system demonstrate the usefulness of this method to reveal valuable information about its phase diagram. The existence of underdoped Rb₃C₆₀ is proved. Well resolved lines in all investigated A₆C₆₀ compounds confirm the orientational order of the C₆₀ ions. An assignment of the signals to the three magnetically inequivalent carbon atom positions in the crystal structure is proposed.
