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.

New N′-alkylidene/cycloalkylidene derivatives of 5-methyl-3-phenyl-1H-indole-2-carbohydrazide: synthesis, crystal structure, and quantum mechanical calculations

The condensation products of 5-methyl-3-phenyl-1H-indole-2-carbohydrazide (1) with 2-butanone, 3-pentanone and cyclopentanone were prepared. The adducts (2a-c) were characterized by microanalysis, UV, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and EI mass spectrometry. ¹H NMR spectra of 2a and 2b revealed rotational restriction about the C–N bond in solution (DMSO-d₆) and displayed double resonances associated with the CH₃ and CH₂CH₃ residues of the alkylidene moieties. A variable temperature ¹H NMR experiment was run on 2a to overcome the rotational barriers and thus determine the coalescence temperature but no coalescence was observed up to 77 °C. The structural analysis of 2a and 2c were also carried out by single crystal X-ray diffraction and confirmed by theoretical calculations (semiempirical PM3 and ab initio RHF/6-31G(d)).     

Smenoqualone a novel sesquiterpenoid from the marine sponge Smenospongia sp.

Smenoqualone, a novel quinonic terpenoid with a rearranged drimane skeleton was isolated from a marine sponge Smenospongia sp. The stereostructure was determined by detailed analyses of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, ¹H-¹H COSY, ¹H-¹³C correlations via HMQC, HMBC and NOE difference NMR experiments.     

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.     

可充电池的磁共振研究

快速增长的对安全能源的需求,促使科研工作者不断探索高能量密度的可充锂离子电池(LIBs)。发展原位表征技术能更好地研究电池工作中的锂离子镶嵌机制和电池失效因素。固体核磁共振(NMR)能有效的测试短程化学环境:通过对~1H、~(6,7)Li、~(11)B、~(13)C、~(17)O、~(19)F、~(23)Na和~(31)P等同位素来探测电池材料的微观结构。除了魔角旋转(MAS)高分辨NMR谱图研究电池材料的精细结构之外,核磁共振还能无损地捕获、研究电池材料在充放电循环中的演化。因此,原位核磁共振NMR及成像(MRI)可拓展到电池充放电循环中的锂离子的动态演化以及锂离子浓度的时空分布信息。互为补充地,电子顺磁共振(EPR)及成像(EPRI)能有效地跟踪和捕获电极过渡金属、阴氧离子(O_2~(n-))的氧化还原过程。这些实时捕获的动态信息能更好地指导电极材料的构效、微观设计和电池组装的改进,最终获得优异的电化学性能。     

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).

New phosphabenzenes by [4 + 2] cycloaddition of stannoles to 1-phospha-1-alkynes — determination of signs of coupling constants [J(P, C), J(P, H), J(P, Si), J(Sn, P)]

Stannoles bearing dialkylboryl groups in 3-position react with 1-phospha-1-alkynes P≡C---^tBu (1) and P≡C---CH₂^tBu (2) by [4 + 2] cycloaddition and elimination of stannylene to give phosphabenzenes in high yield. The stannylenes oligomerise to give [R¹₂Sn]_n with n ≥ 7 (R --- Me, Et, -(CH₂)₅₋ or, in the case of R¹ = ^tBu, react with the stannole itself. All phosphabenzenes are characterized by their consistent sets of NMR data. The absolute signs of the coupling constants ⁿJ(³¹P, ¹H), ⁿJ(³¹P, ¹³C), ²J(³¹P, ²⁹Si) and ²J(¹¹⁹Sn, ³¹P) were determined by appropriate ID and 2D NMR experiments.     

NMR spectra of salicylohydroxamic acid in DMSO-d6 solution: a DFT study

The ¹H, ¹³C and ¹H, ¹³C COSY NMR spectra of salicylohydroxamic acid (sha) were measured in DMSO-d₆ solution. The B3LYP GIAO method with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set was chosen to reproduce the experimental spectra. All possible zusammen and entgegen conformers of monomeric sha were computed. After geometry optimisation (B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)) only nine independent models of the molecule were shown to be stable. Additionally, the NMR chemical shifts of the Onsager model of the most stable monomer were calculated. The computed chemical shifts for the labile protons for all aforementioned geometries meaningfully underestimated experimental results suggesting the existence of the H-bonded structure of sha in DMSO solution. The most probable two dimeric structures along with two solvent-bounded aggregates were subsequently calculated at the same level of theory. The best agreement was obtained for sha H-bonded with two DMSO molecules (confirmed by the absence of concentration effect). The relative error not exceeding 10 and 4% for chemical shifts in ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of sha–(DMSO)₂, respectively, showed that the applied method with the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set was efficient to predict the NMR shifts of a compound with strong H-bonds. Thus, this allows to assign properly NMR resonances to specific structure formed in DMSO solution.     

The reaction of (μ-H)2Os3(CO)9(PPh3) with ethylene affords the ethylidene complex (μ-H)2Os3(CO)9(PPh3)(μ-CHCH3)

The product isolated from the reaction of (μ-H)₂Os₃(CO)₉(PPh₃) with ethylene is shown to be the ethylidene complex (μ-H)₂Os₃(CO)₉(PPh₃)(μ-CHCH₃) (1) rather than the ethylene complex (μ-H)(H)Os₃(CO)₉(PPh₃)(C₂H₄), as previously claimed. The characterization of 1 is based on a combination of ¹H and ¹³C NMR results. The ¹H NMR data (δ 6.84 (1 H_D), 2.53 (3 H_C), J(CD) = 7.4 Hz) establish the presence of the ethylidene moiety, whereas detailed analysis of the 1-D and 2-D ¹³C NMR spectra of ¹³CO-enriched 1 indicates the relative positions of the ethylidene, hydride, and phosphine ligands on the triosmium framework.     

Stereochemical non-rigidity of N-(dimethylhalogenosilylmethyl)-N-(1-phenylethyl) acetamides in solutions

The structure and dynamic behavior of (O-Si)-chelate N-(dimethylhalogenosilyl)methyl acetamides of the type MeC(O)N(CH(Ph)Me)CH₂ SiMe₂ X, where X = F, Cl, Br with the OSiC₃X coordination set, were studied by multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁷O, ²⁹Si) and dynamic ¹H NMR spectroscopy. Ligand permutation at silicon was detected. The observed influence of the solvent, nucleofugacity of the X substituent and the external nucleophile on the calculated values of the free energies of activation testify to the dissociative and/or associative mechanisms of the process, but including the stages in which the regular (pseudo-rotation or ‘turnstile’) mechanism takes place. At lower temperatures (up to −90°C) the ¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si NMR spectra of N-(dimethylchlorosilyl)methyl acetamide contain the signals of two species of unequal intensity. This effect was explained by an equilibrium between monomers containing the intramolecular O → Si bond and dimers with a hexacoordinate silicon and the bridging chlorine atoms.     

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.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of the novel cationic alkyne complexes [WI(CO)(NCMe)L2(η-RC2R)][BF4] (L = PEt3 or PMe2Ph; R = Me or Ph)

The complexes [WI₂(CO)L₂(η²-RC₂R)] (L = PEt₃ or PMe₂Ph; R = Me or Ph) react with an equimolar quantity of Ag[BF₄] in acetonitrile at room temperature to give good yields of the new purple cationic alkyne complexes [WI(CO)(NCMe)L₂(η²-RC₂R)][BF₄]. ³¹P NMR spectroscopy indicates that the phosphines are trans to each other in these compounds. ¹³C NMR spectroscopy suggests that the alkyne ligands are donating four electrons to the tungsten in these complexes.     

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].     

Preparation and characterization of [Re(bpy)(CO) 3L][SbF6] (L = phosphine, phosphite)

A series of rhenium complexes [fac-Re(bpy)(CO)₃L][SbF₆] (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, L = P(ⁿBu)₃, PEt₃, PPh₃, P(OMe)Ph₂, P(OⁱPr)₃, P(OEt)₃, P(OMe)₃, P(OPh)₃) has been prepared and characterized by the IR, UV-vis, ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques. Variations in the electronic properties, i.e. CO stretching, metal-to-ligand charge transfer transition, and ³¹P NMR chemical shifts were interpreted on the basis of the electron-acceptor strength of L. However, the redox potential corresponding to [Re(bpy)(CO)₃L]⁺/[Re(bpy⁻)(CO)₃L]showed ‘V-character type’ changes after the increase in the electron-acceptor strength of L. Variation of the P(2p) binding energy of the phosphorus atom indicated that the electronic structure of the coordinated phosphorus atom was strongly influenced by the electronic properties of the directly attached substituents.     

An unexpected allomer of chlorophyll: 13(S)-hydroxy-10-methoxychlorophyll b

The allomerization of chlorophyll b in methanol produced 13²(S)-hydroxy-10-methoxychlorophyll b in a yield of ca. 8%. The formation of this allomer was totally unexpected, as 10-substituted chlorophylls have never been reported before. The structure of the new chlorophyll b derivative was determined on the basis of UV/Vis, FAB-MS, ¹H NMR and 2D ROESY NMR spectra. This letter focuses on the NMR analysis.     

Solid-state static Cu and P CP/MAS NMR, and liquid-state EXAFS studies on copper(I) O,O′-dialkyldithiophosphate cluster compounds: Formation of the copper(I) O,O′-di-iso-amyldithiophosphate cluster compound on the surface of synthetic chalcocite

Polycrystalline octa-nuclear copper(I) O,O′-di-i-propyl- and O,O′-di-i-amyldithiophosphate cluster compounds, {Cu₈[S₂P(OR)₂]₆(μ₈-S)} where R = ⁱPr and ⁱAm, were synthesized and characterized by ³¹P CP/MAS NMR at 8.46 T and static ⁶⁵Cu NMR at multiple magnetic field strengths (7.05, 9.4 and 14.1 T). The symmetries of the electronic environments around the P sites were estimated from the ³¹P chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) parameters, δ_aniso and η. Analyses of the ⁶⁵Cu chemical shift and quadrupolar splitting parameters for these compounds are presented with the data being compared to those for the analogous octa-nuclear cluster compounds with R = ⁿBu and ⁱBu. The ⁶⁵Cu transverse relaxation for the copper sites in {Cu₈[S₂P(OⁱPr)₂]₆(μ₈-S)} and {Cu₈[S₂P(OⁱAm)₂]₆(μ₈-S)} was found to be very different, with a relaxation time, T₂, of 590 μs (Gaussian) and 90 μs (exponential), respectively. The structures of {Cu₄[S₂P(OⁱPr)₂]₄} and {Cu₈[S₂P(OⁱPr)₂]₆(μ₈-S)} cluster compounds in the liquid- and the solid-state were studied by Cu K-edge EXAFS. The disulfide, [S₂P(OⁱAm)₂]₂, was obtained and characterized by ³¹P{¹H} NMR. The interactions of the disulfide and of the potassium O,O′-di-i-amyldithiophosphate salt with the surfaces of synthetic chalcocite (Cu₂S) were probed using solid-state ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and only the presence of copper(I) dithiophosphate species with the {Cu₈[S₂P(OⁱAm)₂]₆(μ₈-S)} structure was observed.     

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.     

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。
