Flow injection analysis NMR (FIA–NMR): a novel flow NMR technique that complements LC–NMR and direct injection NMR (DI–NMR)

Details of a new flow NMR technique, flow injection analysis NMR (FIA–NMR), are presented for the first time. This method blends some aspects of both liquid chromatography–NMR and direct injection NMR, and complements both. FIA‐NMR is shown to be useful as an analytical technique, especially for repetitive analyses, and may also prove useful in the analysis of combinatorial chemistry libraries. The feasibility of FIA‐NMR is demonstrated by the quantitative analysis of an over‐the‐counter pharmaceutical. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

NMR study of organosilicon compounds. III—Silicon-29, nitrogen-14, carbon-13 and proton NMR spectra of silylakylamines

²⁹Si, ¹⁴N ¹³C and ¹H NMR data are presented for a series of homologous (methylethoxysilyl)alkylamines of the type (CH₃)_3?n(C₂H₅O)_nSi(CH₂)_mNH₂(n=o to 3; m = 1 to 4). The measured ¹³C and ¹H chemical shifts correlate with the total net charges Q_A on the corressponding atoms, estimated by the Del Re method. ¹⁴N and ²⁹Si chemical shifts which do not show simple linear relationships to the charges are found to correlate with the relative basicities of the compounds. The influence of the remote substituent (? NH₂ and others) on the ₂₉Si chemical shifts is shown to depend on the number and nature of substituents directly on the silicon atom. Argyments for d-orbital participation in the Si? O bounds are given. The chemical shifts of ²⁹Si, ¹⁴N and ₁₃C nuclei are not consistent with the fromation of intramolecular ‘long bonds’ between the solicon and nitrogen atoms in aliphatic silymethylamines.     

Layered metal(IV) phosphonate materials: Solid‐state 1H, 13C, 31P NMR spectra and NMR relaxation

Multinuclear solid‐state NMR and powder X‐ray diffraction data collected for phosphonate materials Zr(O₃PC₆H₄PO₃) · 3.6H₂O and Sn(O₃PC₆H₄PO₃)_0.85(O₃POH)_0.30 · 3.09H₂O have resulted in the layered structure, where the phosphonic acids cross‐link the layers. The main structural motif (the 111 connectivity in the PO₃ group) has been established by determination of chemical shift anisotropy parameters for phosphorus nuclei in the phosphonate groups. An analysis of the variable‐temperature ³¹P T₁ measurements and the shapes of the phosphorus resonances in the ³¹P static NMR spectra have resulted in the dipolar mechanism of the phosphorus spin‐lattice relaxation, where the rotating phenylene rings reorient dipolar vectors P^…H as a driving force of the relaxation process. It has been found that water protons do not affect the ³¹P T₁ times. The activation energy of the phenylene rotation in both compounds has been determined as low as 12.5 kJ/mol. The interpretation of the phosphorus relaxation data has been independently confirmed by the measurements of ¹H T₁ times for protons of the phenylene rings.

Chemistry of Polyfunctional Molecules. 133. X‐Ray Crystal Structural, Solid‐state ³¹P CP/MAS NMR, TOSS, ³¹P COSY NMR, and Mechanistic Contributions to the Co‐ordination Chemistry of Octacarbonyldicobalt with the Ligands Bis(diphenylphosphanyl)amine, Bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane, and 1,1,1‐Tris(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane Co₂(CO)₈ reacts with bis(diphenylphosphanyl)amine, HN(PPh₂)₂ (Hdppa, 1 ), in two steps to afford the known compound [Co(CO)(Hdppa‐κ²P)₂][Co(CO)₄] · 2 THF ( 6 a · 2 THF). The intermediate [Co(CO)₂(Hdppa‐κ²P) · (Hdppa‐κP)][Co(CO)₄] · dioxane · n‐pentane ( 5 · dioxane · n‐pentane) was isolated for the first time and was characterized by X‐ray analysis. The cation 5 ⁺ exhibits a slightly distorted trigonal‐bipyramidal geometry. Detailed ³¹P‐NMR investigations (solid‐state CP/MAS NMR, TOSS, ³¹P‐COSY, ³¹P‐EXSY) showed that the additional tautomer [Co(CO)₂(Hdppa‐κ²P)(Ph₂P–N=P(H)Ph₂‐κP)]⁺ ( 5 ′⁺) is present in solution. The tautomer equilibrium is slow in the NMR time scale. In contrast to the solid state only tetragonal pyramidal species of 5 are found in solution. At –90 °C there is slow exchange between the three diastereomeric species 5 a ⁺– 5 c ⁺. Compound 5 forms [Co(CO) · (Hdppa‐κ²P)₂]BPh₄ · THF ( 6 b · THF) in THF with NaBPh₄ under CO‐Elimination. A X‐ray diffraction investigation shows that the cation 6 ⁺ consists of a slightly distorted trigonal‐bipyramidal co‐ordination polyeder. However, a distorted tetragonal‐pyramidal structure has been found for the cation 7 ⁺ of the related compound [Co(CO)(dppm)₂][Co(CO)₄] · 2 THF ( 7 · 2 THF; dppm = bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane, Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂). A comparison with the known [8] trigonal‐bipyramidal stereoisomer, ascertained for 7 ⁺ of the solvent‐free 7 , is described. In solutions of 6 a · 2 THF and 7 · 2 THF ¹³C{¹H}‐ and ³¹P{¹H}‐NMR spectra indicate an exchange of all CO and organophosphane molecules between cobalt(I) cation and cobalt(–I) anion. A concerted mechanism for the exchange process is discussed. CO elimination leads to discontinuance of the cyclic mechanism by forming binuclear substitution products such as the isolated Co₂(CO)₂ · (μ‐CO)₂(μ‐dppm)₂ · 0.83 THF ( 8 · 0.83 THF), which was characterized by spectroscopy and X‐ray analysis. For the dissolved [Co(CO)₂CH₃C(CH₂PPh₂)₃][Co(CO)₄] · 0.83 n‐pentane ( 9 a · 0.83 n‐pentane) no CO and triphos exchange processes between the cation and the anion are observed. Metathesis of 9 a · 0.83 n‐pentane with NaBPh₄ yields [Co(CO)₂CH₃C(CH₂PPh₂)₃]BPh₄ ( 9 b ) which has been characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. The cation shows a small distorted tetragonal‐pyramidal structure.     

DFT study of CH<Subscript>4</Subscript> adsorption on the (5,0), (4,4), (5,5) and (6,6) single-walled carbon nanotubes. Calculated binding energies,NMR and NQR parameters

Behavior of a single CH₄ molecule adsorbed on external surface of H-capped (4,4) (5,5), (6,6) and (5,0) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is studied via B97D hybrid density functional and 6-31G* basis set. Binding energies clearly exhibit adsorption dependence on tube diameter. ¹³C and ¹H chemical shielding tensors are calculated at the B971 level using GIAO method. The ¹H and ¹³C(CH₄) NMR results reveal that chemical shielding due to CH₄ molecule adsorption are also dependent upon the nanotube electronic structure, and radius. ²H nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, C Q, and asymmetry parameter, η, reveal the remarkable effect of CH4 adsorption on electronic structure of the SWCNTs.     

Computational <Superscript>19</Superscript>F NMR. 1. General features

Fluorine-19 NMR chemical shifts have been calculated for a wide variety of fluorine-containing inorganic and organic molecules by relativistic DFT methods. The agreement with experimental values, spanning the whole range from ClF to FOOF, is satisfactory but somewhat less accurate than for comparable light nuclei. ¹⁹F shifts in uranium chlorofluorides have been analyzed in detail, and the poor agreement with experiment is partly rationalized.     

NMR study of phthalide‐type poly(phenylene)s. Symmetry and additivity

All ¹H and ¹³C NMR signals of the four poly(phenylenephthalides): polydiphenylenephthalide ( P(DPh)‐1 ), polyterphenylenephthalide ( P(TPh)‐2 ) and two sequentially ordered polymers with different ratios of alternating diphenylenephthalide and terphenylenephthalide units ( P(DTPh)‐3, P(DDTPh)‐4 ) were assigned unequivocally with two‐dimensional NMR techniques (¹H–¹H COSY and NOESY; ¹H–¹³C HSQC and HMBC). There are four types of polyphenylene fragments: not symmetrical end, symmetrical inner, symmetrical pre‐end and formally symmetric pre‐end. The equivalent carbon atoms in these fragments have different chemical shifts. A full additivity of the chemical shifts for the side phthalide and polyphenylene carbon atoms was revealed. A new structure of diads with a mirror symmetry plane, passing through the middle of aromatic moieties, is proposed. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
