Lanthanide Shift Reagents. Paper 22 The Influence of Mixed Silver/Praseodymium Shift Reagents on the Proton NMR Spectra of Heteroaromatics

Previous work in these laboratories¹ and elsewhere^2,3 has pointed to the value of a mixture of lanthanide fod chelates with silver fod^1,2 or with silver trifluoroacetate³ in simplifying the ¹H NMR spectra of aryl substrates which do not possess the conventional (O or N) donor groups (fod = 2,2-dimethyl-6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-3,5-octane dionate).     

Lanthanide Shift Reagents XIII the Influence of Phenyl, 1-Adamantyl and Tert-Butyl Substituents on Equilibrium Constants

We have recently extended our Infrared studies of the binding of anilines with lanthanide shift reagents¹ to an NMR examination of hindered phenyl-carbinols² and a series of aldehydes and ketones related to benzaldehyde and acetophenone³.     

Hydroxyl Substituent Chemical Shift (SCS) Effects in Alcohols: The 17O NMR of Diols

The ¹⁷O NMR spectra for a series of saturated diols were investigated. From these studies both hydroxyl induced substituent chemical shift (SCS) effects of hydroxyl oxygen ¹⁷O NMR chemical shifts were determined. In addition, linear correlations between the ¹⁷O chemical shift of the hydroxyl oxygen (ROH) and the ¹³C chemical shift for the methyl group in the corresponding hydrocarbon (RCH₃) were obtained.

     

Lanthanide Shift Reagents. Paper 18. Equilibrium Binding Constants for Europium Shift Reagent with Nitrogen Heterocycles

Paper 16 in this series^{1, 2, 3} was concerned with the equilibrium binding constants (K) of the shift reagent Europium tris (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylheptane-3, 5-dionate), Eu(thd)₃, with primary, secondary and tertiary amines. One nitrogen heterocycle, pyridine, and two of its derivatives (see Table) were included. In the present paper we describe the binding constants for a further 9 nitrogen containing heterocycles and relate these to basicity and steric effects.     

Quadrupolar and Chemical Shift Tensors Characterized by 2D Multiple-Quantum NMR Spectroscopy

The present work discusses a new 2D NMR method for characterizing the principal values and relative orientations of the electric field gradient and the chemical shift tensors of half-integer quadrupolar sites. The technique exploits the different contributions that quadrupolar and shielding interactions impart on the evolution of multiple-quantum and of single-quantum coherences, in order to obtain 2D powder lineshapes that are highly sensitive to these nuclear spin coupling parameters. Different spinning variants of this experiment were assayed, but it was concluded that a static version can yield the highest sensitivity to the values of the principal components and to the relative geometries of the local coupling tensors. It was found that correlating the central transition evolution with the highest available order of the spin coherence was also helpful for maximizing this spectral information. Good agreement between data obtained on ⁸⁷Rb (S = ) and ⁵⁹Co (S = ) samples and ideal theoretical lineshape predictions of this experiment was obtained, provided that heterogeneities in the multiple-quantum excitation and conversion processes were suitably accounted by procedures similar to those described in the spin- multiple-quantum NMR literature.     

Detection and Characterization of Boric Acid and Borate Ion Binding to Cytochrome c Using Multiple Quantum Filtered NMR

The application of multiple quantum filtered (MQF) NMR to the identification and characterization of the binding of ligands containing quadrupolar nuclei to proteins is demonstrated. Using relaxation times measured by MQF NMR multiple binding of boric acid and borate ion to ferri and ferrocytochrome c was detected. Borate ion was found to have two different binding sites. One of them was in slow exchange, k_diss = 20 ± 3 s⁻¹ at 5°C and D₂O solution, in agreement with previous findings by ¹H NMR (G. Taler et al., 1998, Inorg. Chim. Acta 273, 388–392). The triple quantum relaxation of the borate in this site was found to be governed by dipolar interaction corresponding to an average B–H distance of 2.06 ± 0.07 Å. Other, fast exchanging sites for borate and boric acid could be detected only by MQF NMR. The binding equilibrium constants at these sites at pH 9.7 were found to be 1800 ± 200 M⁻¹ and 2.6 ± 1.5 M⁻¹ for the borate ion and boric acid, respectively. Thus, detection of binding by MQF NMR proved to be sensitive to fast exchanging ligands as well as to very weak binding that could not be detected using conventional methods.     

NMR Frequency Shift under Sample Spinning

It is shown that, by using an RF coil of suitable shape, sample spinning around an axis parallel to the main field produces a shift of the NMR resonance frequency. This effect is experimentally verified on¹H and¹¹⁹Sn in liquid samples. A general discussion of sample spinning and frequency shift is given in connection with the rotating-frame picture. Several possible applications are described.

Hydrogen Bond and 19F NMR Chemical Shift Akisotropy in Apatite

Abstract

The fluoroapatite minerals, Ca₅-F(PO₄)₃ usually contain some hydroxyis, instead of fluorine. From infrared spectra it was concluded, that there are weak hydrogen bonds OH … F along apatite hexagonal axis¹. In order to receive more detailed information about the character of F^?and OH^?bonds with the nearest atoms in apatites we studied the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of protons and fluorines in natural apatite single crystal, in which approximately 15% of fluorines is substituted by hydroxyis.     

A Reinvestigatton of the 13C-NMR Chemical Shift Assignments of Fluoranthene

Disparities in the protonated carbon NMR chemical shift assignments of the polynuclear aromatic molecule, fluoranthene, have been noted. Using two-dimensional ¹³C- ¹³C double quantum coherence, the ¹³C-NMR chemical shift assignments were reinvestigated and a set of unequivocal assignments obtained.     

Lanthanide Shift Reagents. Paper 21. Interaction of Arenes with Silver/Lanthanide Shift Reagent and Comparison with Chromium Tricarbonyl Complexes

Lanthanide shift reagents can bring about dramatic simplifications of highly complex NMR spectra^1,2. The applicability of the commonest of these (the thd and fod chelates of Eu, Pr and Yb) has been restricted to those molecules possessing a suitable N, O or S donor atom, although they may turn up in unusual guises, e.g. in quaternary ammonium compounds³.     

Definitive Carbon-13 Chemical Shift Assignments in 2-Substituted Adamantane Derivatives by Deuterium Isotope Effects

Deuterium isotope effects on carbon-13 chemical shifts in 5-[²H]-isotopomeres of ten 2-substituted adamantane derivatives were determined and used for complete assignment of their carbon-13 NMR spectra.

The carbon-13 NMR spectra of ten 2-substituted adamantane derivatives have been assignated by consideration of deuterium isotope effects. Some four- and five-bond downfield deuterium effects on certain chemical shifts have been measured and attributed to remote hyperconjugative interactions.     

2D CP/MASC Isotropic Chemical Shift Correlation Established byH Spin Diffusion

A new 2D solid-state CP/MAS¹³C NMR exchange experiment for through-space isotropic chemical shift correlation is proposed and demonstrated. Through-space correlation is established via a second cross polarization from¹³C to¹H and subsequent¹H spin diffusion. A third cross polarization results in the final¹³C–¹³C isotropic chemical shift correlation. The¹H spin diffusion time is a variable parameter allowing different mean square magnetization displacements to be probed. Experimental results on mixtures of differently¹³C-labeled alanine and polyethylene indicate that this site-selective 2D technique can be used to characterize domain sizes and proximities over a wide range of length scales (1–200 nm) in solids such as polymers or biological materials.     

The Use of Heteronuclear Shift Correlation 19F-1H. The Chemical Shift Assignment of Fluorinated (mono,Bis, and tris Gem Difluoro) Cyclopropane Derivatives of Sesquiterpene Lactones.

Lanthanide Shift Reagents: Acetylacetone Complex of Yb(III) Ion

It has recently been shown that the 2,2,6,6-tetra-methylheptane-3,5-dione (tmhd) complexes of a number of lanthanide ions possess the useful property of inducing large chemical shifts in the proton NMR spectra of certain compounds containing OH or other nucleophilic groups^1–8. The resulting spectra are frequently more readily assignable and analysable. Although europium and praseodymium appear to be the most suitable ions for such studies, the shifting effect is also observed with other lanthanide ions.^5,6     

NMR Studies of Drugs. Applications of Lanthanide Shift Reagents to Afloqualone,an Axially Chiral Quinazolinone.

The skeletal muscle relaxant, aflogualone, 1, has been studied by ¹H NMR in CDC1₃ at 60 and 300 MHz in the presence of added chiral [Eu(HFC)₃] or achiral [Eu(FOD)₃] lanthanide shift reagents (LSR). With Eu(HFC)₃, significant enantiomeric shift differences, ΔΔδ, can be induced for most of the nuclei of 1, with near-baseline resolution obtainable for the H-5 signals of each enantiomer, indicating excellent analytical potential for direct determination of enantiomeric excess of samples of 1. Observation of ΔΔδ directly confirms hindered rotation about the bond between N (3) and the 2-methylphenyl group, i.e., the N (sp²) - C(sp²) bond, leading to axial chirality in 1 with slow rotation on the NMR timescale. Assignments are supported by 2D COSY spectra at 300 MHz. Relative lanthanide-induced shift magnitudes for the protons of 1 are compared.

NMR Studies of Heat-Induced Transitions in Structure and Cation Binding Environments of a Strontium-Saturated Swelling Mica

In this work, we combine ²⁷Al, ²⁹Si, ¹⁹F, and ²³Na magic-angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to characterize the structure and interlayer cation environments in a strontium-saturated member of the swelling mica family before and after a heat-induced collapse of the interlayer space. The ²⁷Al and ²⁹Si MAS NMR demonstrate that the sample consists mainly of swelling mica, though the composition does not match the ideal structural formula. Aluminum NMR also shows that a portion of the aluminum shifts from a tetrahedral to an octahedral coordination environment upon heating. Changes in the ²⁹Si and ¹⁹F NMR after heating are consistent with a structural rearrangement of the tetrahedral sheet to permit the binding of larger cations in the ditrigonal cavity. The ²³Na MAS NMR results indicate the presence of three unique sodium environments before and after heating. The heat-invariant resonance is consistent with the presence of sodium carbonate. The other two resonances are associated with interlayer sodium and reflect a migration of sodium to a dominantly anhydrous ditrigonal binding structure with heating. Quantitative elemental analysis and NMR data presented here suggest strontium is bound deep within the ditrigonal cavity of the collapsed micas. Authors' address: Karl T.

The 60 MHz ¹H spectra for 1 in CDCl₃ have been examined with     

Solid state NMR study of carbon bonding in amorphous hydrogenated carbon films

Carbon bonding environments in hydrogenated amorphous carbon films (a-C:H) deposited from an rf-biased methane plasma onto various substrates have been quantified by application of solid state¹³C NMR. A family of films were prepared by systematically varying the substrate bias voltage. Quantitative data on carbon chemistry in these films is required for modeling the impact of structure on mechanical and optical properties. A variety of NMR acquisition pulse sequences have been investigated to determine the conditions under which quantitative¹³C NMR data can be acquired in this system. The results indicate that data acquisition from this material requires different protocols than for the study of polymeric hydrocarbon films. With proper experimental design, NMR is an excellent technique for structural studies of these materials.
