An NMR study of thallium nitrate ion association in liquid ammonia

²⁰⁵Tl and¹H magnetic resonance frequencies have been determined for liquid ammonia solutions of TlClO₄ and TlNO₃ as a function of electrolyte concentration (5×10^–4 to 9.8 M) and temperature. The dependence of the resonance frequency on concentration suggests the presence of free, fully solvated thallium ions, ion pairs, and higher-order ion aggregates. Analysis of lowconcentration²⁰⁵Tl data between 0 and 30°C allowed the determination of TlNO₃ ion-pair association constants and thermodynamic parameters (H_A=+6.5 kcal-mole^–1, S_A=+36 e.u.). A preciptous decrease in²⁰⁵Tl resonance frequency was observed for NH₃ to TlNO₃ mole ratios below 3:1, suggesting the formula (NH₃)₃Tl⁺ NO ₃ ^– for the fully solvated, contact ion pair.     

Spectroscopic studies of ionic solvation. XXI. A raman,infrared, and NMR study of sodium perchlorate solutions in nonaqueous solvents

Sodium perchlorate solutions in several nonaqueous solvents were examined by²³Na,³⁵Cl-NMR, infrared, and Raman spectroscopic techniques. The formation of contact ion pairs lowers the symmetry of ClO ₄ ^– ion from T_d to C_3v or C_2v provided that the interaction is fairly strong. This was manifested for NaClO₄ solutions in acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and pyridine. Combination of the vibrational measurements with NMR shows that in the above three cases the anion-cation interactions are quite strong. Sodium-23 NMR studies confirm the above results and, being a more sensitive technique, also indicates weak cation-anion interaction in propylene carbonate, formic acid, acetone, methanol, ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, and water. In all solvents the²³Na resonance shifts upfield with increasing concentration of NaClO₄, indicating that the replacement of solvent by ClO ₄ ^– ion decreases electron density around the cation.     

121,123Sb NQR investigation of chlorofluoroantimonates(III) M2SbCl3F2 (M = Rb. Cs,and NH4)

Antimony(m) chlorofluoride complexes M₂SbCl₃F₂ (M = Rb, Cs, or NH₄) were studied by the^121,123Sb NQR method. A temperature range (77–285 K) with anomalous change in the NQR parameters and a second-order phase transition at 250–280 K for (NH₄)₂SbCl₃F₂ were found.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Untersuchungen zur Chlorokomplexbildung des Gallium(III)-kations in wäßriger Lösung

Using aqueous GaCl₃ and chloride containing Ga(ClO₄)₃ solutions measurements have been carried out to investigate the formation of complexes with mixed ligands beside the [GaCl₄]^– ion. In contrast to the Raman spectra, which contain only the signals of the [GaCl ₄ ^– ] and the [Ga(H₂O)₆]³⁺ ion, the⁷¹Ga-NMR spectra give clear evidence for the existence of complexes with mixed ligands. Investigations at low temperatures showed their coordination to be octahedral resulting in species [GaCl_n(H₂O)_6–n ]^(3–n)+.     

Viscosity of aqueous NH4Cl and tracer diffusion coefficients of ions,water and non-electrolytes in aqueous NH4Cl,KI, and MgCl2 at 25°C

Viscosities for aqueous NH₄Cl and tracer diffusion coefficients for²²Na⁺,³⁶Cl^–, HTO, and CH₃OH, acetone and dimethylformamide (all¹⁴C-labelled) in NH₄Cl supporting electrolyte are reported for 25°, together with tracer diffusion coefficients for²²Na⁺,³⁶Cl^–, and¹⁴CH₃OH in 1M KI, and for¹⁴CH₃OH in 1M MgCl₂. The diffusion coefficient of HTO in NH₄Cl solutions is slightly larger, for most of the concentration range investigated (0.05 to 4.5 M), than the value for pure water and is almost unaffected by the supporting electrolyte up to about 4M. Similar behavior is shown by CH₃OH, acetone and dimethylformamide in NH₄Cl solutions. Onsager limiting law behavior is approached by Cl^– at NH₄Cl concentrations in the 0.05–0.1M region but at much lower concentrations by Na⁺.     

Raman and infrared spectroscopic investigation of contact ion pair formation in aqueous cadmium sulfate solutions

Raman and IR data for aqueous CdSO₄ and (NH₄)₂SO₄ solutions have been recorded over broad concentration and temperature ranges. Whereas the v₁-SO ₄ ^2– band profile is symmetrical in (NH₄)₂SO₄ solutions, in CdSO₄ solutions a shoulder appears on the high frequency side which increases in intensity with increasing concentration and temperature. The molar scattering coefficient of the v₁-SO ₄ ^2– band is the same for all forms of sulfate in (NH₄)₂SO₄ and CdSO₄ solutions and is independent of temperature up to 99°C. The high frequency shoulder is attributed to the formation of a contact ion pair [Cd²⁺OSO ₃ ^2– ] (11 associate). Also the v₃-SO ₄ ^2– antisymmetric stretching mode shows a splitting in the CdSO₄ solution. Further spectroscopic evidence for contact ion pair formation is provided by IR spectroscopy. No higher associates or anionic complexes are required to interpret the spectroscopic data. The degree of association has been measured as a function of concentration and temperature. The thermodynamic association constant, K_A=0.15±0.05 kg-mol^–1 at 25°C is estimated from the Raman data by an extrapolation procedure by taking account of the activity coefficients. Values are reported for the activity coefficient of the ion pair. From the Raman temperature dependence studies, the enthalpy of formation for the contact ion pair is estimated to be 10±1 kJ-mol^–1.     

Synthesis of Schiff bases and benzylamino derivatives containing [1-B<Subscript>10</Subscript>H<Subscript>9</Subscript>NH<Subscript>3</Subscript>]<Superscript>−</Superscript> anion

Reactions of an amino derivative of the closo-decaborate anion [1-B₁₀H₉NH₃]^– with aromatic aldehydes afforded Schiff bases [1-B₁₀H₉NH=CHAr]^– (Ar=Ph, C₆H₄-2-OMe, or C₆H₄-4-NHCOMe). The reduction of the latter with sodium borohydride gave the corresponding benzylamino derivatives [1-B₁₀H₉NH₂CH₂Ar]^–.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Magnesium and calcium surfactants Ternary phase diagrams of magnesium and calcium dodecylsulphate with decanol and water

The isothermal ternary phase diagrams for the systems magnesium dodecylsulphate-decanol-water at 40 °C and calcium dodecylsulphate-decanol-water at 50 °C are determined by water deuteron NMR and polarizing microscopic studies. In the magnesium system, three liquid crystalline phases (lamellar and normal and reverse hexagonal) and two isotropic (normal and reverse) solution phases are characterized and their ranges of existence are obtained. The calcium system yields the same liquid crystalline phases, but only the lamellar liquid crystalline phase is investigated in detail. The important observations made are: (i) The lamellar liquid crystalline phase for the magnesium and calcium systems can incorporate, respectively, a maximum of 22.5 and 14.3 mole water per mole surfactant ion against 139 mole water for the corresponding sodium system. (ii) The reverse hexagonal liquid crystalline phase is formed for both the magnesium and calcium systems while no such liquid crystalline phase exists for the corresponding sodium system. (iii) The²H NMR quadrupole splittings obtained in the liquid crystalline phases for C₈SO ₄ ^– and C₁₂SO ₄ ^– surfactant systems with different counterions (Ca²⁺,Mg²⁺,Be²⁺,Na⁺) reveal that surfactant hydration is almost independent of alkyl chain length and counterions.     

NMR studies of interionic interactions in N-methylformamide

The NMR chemical shifts of alkali and thallium(I) salts with various monovalent anions have been measured in N-methylformamide solution. Lithium-7 chemical shifts are virtually concentration and counter-ion independent, presumably due to an absence of direct cation-anion interactions. The sodium-23, potassium-39 and cesium-133 chemical shifts of the salts studied depend on the anion and vary linearly with the concentration. The observed behavior can be accounted for by the formation of collisional ion pairs. On the other hand, the thallium-205 chemical shifts of thallium(I) nitrate and perchlorate were anion-dependent and varied non-linearly with the salt concentration. These results are indicative of contact ion pair formation; formation constants were calculated to be 2.6±0.4 M ^–1 for TlNO ₃ and 1.7±0.5 M ^–1 for TlClO ₄ . The cesium-133 NMR spectra of several mixed electrolyte systems also have been measured in N-methylformamide solution. The¹³³Cs chemical shifts also change linearly with the concentrations of the salts added to 0.10 M CsI/NMF solutions. The influence of the anions on the chemical shifts is the same as that observed for cesium salts alone.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic, structural and theoretical characterization of hydrogensquarate and mononuclear Au(III)-complex of dipeptide phenylalanyltyrosine

The mononuclear Au(III)-complex ([Au(C₁₈H₁₈N₂O₄)Cl]) and hydrogensquarate ([C₂₂H₂₁N₂O₈]) of dipeptide phenylalanyltyrosine (H–Phe–Tyr–OH) have been synthezised, characterized spectroscopically and structurally by means of solid-state linear-polarized IR-spectroscopy, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, ESI-MS, HPLC-MS–MS, FAB-MS, TGS and DSC methods. The structure of the Au(III)-complex has been predicted theoretically by DFT calculations. The dipeptide coordinated in a tridentate manner via –NH₂, –COO⁻ and N⁻-groups. One Cl⁻ ion is attached to the metal centre as a terminal ligand, yielding a planar AuN₂OCl chromophor. The hydrogensquarate consists in positive charged dipeptide moiety and negative one hydrogensquarate (HSq⁻) anion stabilizing by strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

Nitropyrazoles

The structures of substitutedN-aminonitropyrazoles and 1- and 2-amino-4-nitro-1,2,3-triazoles as well as the site of protonation of 1-aminopyrazole were determined based on the¹H,¹³C, and¹⁵N (¹⁴N) NMR spectra. The¹³C NMR spectra were recorded under conditions of¹³C-{¹H,¹⁴N} triple resonance. Effects of substituents in the pyrazole ring on the¹³C and¹⁴N chemical shifts were studied. The¹³C,¹H and¹⁵N,¹H spin-spin coupling constants, obtained using techniques of [¹H]¹³C and [¹H]¹⁵N polarization transfer (SPT, INEPT), were measured, fully assigned, and discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Physicochemical properties of α, ω-type bolaform surfactant in aqueous solution. Eicosane-1,20-bis(triethylammonium bromide)

The physicochemical properties of the, - type (bolaform) surfactant, eicosane-1, 20-bis(triethylammonium bromide) (C₂₀Et₆), in aqueous solution have been investigated by means of surface tension, electrical conductivity, dye solubilization, and time-resolved fluorescence quenching (determination of average micelle aggregation number). Using electrical conductivity, the critical micelle concentration of C₂₀Et₆ was found to be 6.0×10^–3 mol dm^–3 and the ionization degree of C²⁰Et₆ micelle was found to be 0.42. From surface tension measurments, the molecular area of C₂₀Et₆ at the air-water interface was about twice that of normal type surfactants such as dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB). The solubilizing power of micellar solution of C₂₀Et₆ toward Orange OT was 1.0×10^–2 mole of dye per mole of surfactant, i. e., slightly smaller than that of DTAB. The micelle aggregation number,N, was found to be 17±2 by time-resolved fluorescence quenching. C₂₀Et₆ showed a very small temperature dependence ofN, much less than for normal surfactants.     

Raman and infrared spectra of6Li2C2O4 and7Li2C2O4

Raman and infrared spectra of polycrystalline⁶Li₂C₂O₄ and⁷Li₂C₂O₄ have been investigated in the wavenumber region from 1,800 to 40 cm^–1. The internal C₂O₄ ^–2 vibrations have been studied on the basis of a D_2h molecular structure and the correlation field splittings have been found to be about 40 cm^–1 for the stretching modes and about 15 cm^–1 for the bending modes. The external vibrations of the Li⁺ and C₂O₄ ^–2 sites have been discussed by considering the results of the factor group analysis and the⁶Li/⁷Li isotope effect on the normal vibrations.

205Tl NMR studies: Ion pairing of Tl+ and (CH3)2Tl+ with NO 3 − and ClO 4 − in various solvents

The concentration dependence of the²⁰⁵Tl chemical shifts of Tl⁺ and of (CH₃)₂Tl⁺ ions was determined in several solvents with NO ₃ ^– and ClO ₄ ^– counterions. In general, increased ion pairing caused a low-frequency shift of the²⁰⁵Tl resonance, with the exceptions of (CH₃)₂TlNO₃ inn-butylamine and TlNO₃ in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and in hexamethylphosphorotriamide (HMPA). In HMPA,²⁰⁵Tl linewidths of both Tl⁺ and (CH₃)₂Tl⁺ increased dramatically with dilution below 0.1M. Analysis of the data allowed ion-pair formation constants and²⁰⁵Tl chemical shifts for the ion-paired cation and for the free (solvated) cation to be estimated for some of the solvents.     

Ion sites in deuterated dimethylsulfoxide solutions of NaNO3 and cryptand complexed NaNO3 by digital infrared spectroscopy

Infrared spectra in digitized form were measured for NaNO₃ and [Na·C221]⁺NO ₃ ^– solutions in DMSO-d₆ between 1150 and 1500 cm^–1 using a technique and instrumentation that obtains each point of the average absorbance spectrum at the same (reduced) noise level. Similar spectra were also obtained for the solvent and the Na⁺ complexed cryptand C221 and used to remove the contribution of these entities from the above spectra. By taking appropriate differences of spectra, it was possible to reveal both bands of the contact ion pair in the NaNO₃/DMSO-d₆ solution-removing one from under the strong band of the D_3h site—and to show the presence of three ion sites in this solution. The third site is tentatively identified as a close ion pair. Two ion sites are also identified in the [Na·C221]⁺NO ₃ ^– /DMSO-d₆ solution.Paper X in the series, Studies of Solution Character, by Molecular Spectroscopy.     

Infrared spectra of M+NO 3 − contact ion pairs in aprotic solvents and matrix isolated in the corresponding glasses

Studies of the vibrational spectra of matrix-isolated M⁺NO ₃ ^– ion pairs have been extended to glassy aprotic solvents. The deuterated form of the solvents DMSO, THF, and ACN have windows through the 7- nitrate ionv ₃(e) mode infrared region, so it was possible to clearly observe the splitting of the degeneracy of this mode,v ₃, produced by the contacting, but solvated, alkali metal cation. Primary attention has been directed to the extent to which this splitting is reduced relative to the argon matrix values. This reduction, which reflects electron-density transfer from the solvating molecules to the ion pairs, is comparable to that observed for H₂O and NH₃ matrices as the splitting is reduced to 20–35% of the argon-matrix values. The extent of reduction ofv ₃ for the different solvents has been related to Gutmann's donicity number scale with the correlation holding well for solvent molecules of comparable size, DMSO, THF and DMF, but breaking down for the smaller linear ACN, apparently because of more molecules in the cation solvation sphere. The matrix data have also been used, through comparison with spectra for saturated liquid solutions of Li⁺NO ₃ ^– , to show that the contact ion pair is the dominant species in liquid THF and ACN, whereas the ions are largely solvent separated in DMSO.     

The effect of polyether ligands on the solution structure of [Li]-α-(phenylthio)benzyllithium in tetrahydrofuran: A H,Li-HOESY NMR study

[⁶Li]-α-(phenylthio)benzyllithium 1-⁶Li was studied in THF/[D₈]THF solution (1:1) in the presence of several acyclic and cyclic polyether ligands by ¹H,⁶Li-HOESY, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The question whether these ligands are bonded to lithium or not is important for physical–organic investigations as well as for studies of the ground state of (stereoselective) reactions of organolithium compounds in the presence of such ligands. Dimethoxyethane is not bonded to lithium under these conditions. The acyclic ethers diglyme and triglyme coordinate only weakly to the organolithium compound and form contact ion pairs (CIPs) at 25°C. At −80°C, CIPs are in equilibrium with separated ion pairs (SIPs). Very stable complexes of 1-⁶Li are obtained with crown ether ligands. Addition of 12-crown-4 and 15-crown-5, respectively, results in the exclusive formation of SIPs at 25°C and −80°C. With 18-crown-6, a CIP–SIP equilibrium is observed at 25°C which is shifted entirely to the SIP side at −80°C. Graphical analyses of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the polyether complexes of 1-⁶Li revealed correlations between the chemical shifts of the para phenyl carbon C-5, the para phenyl proton H-5, the benzylic carbon C-1, and the proton–carbon coupling constant J(C-1,H-1) of 1-Li, which are useful probes for the charge distribution within the carbanionic moiety of 1-⁶Li in the respective complexes, and thus for the ion pair character as a function of the polyether complexation of lithium.     

Interactions of La(III) with anions in aqueous solutions. A139La NMR study

The interactions of the La(III) cations with three anions (X), nitrate, chloride and perchlorate, in aqueous solutions in the pH range 4.0–6.5, were studied by¹³⁹La NMR spectroscopy. A single model, involving the formation of the contact ion-pair (inner-sphere complex) (LaX)²⁺ was successfully and quantitatively applied to the chemical shift and the transverse relaxation rate data. Both measurements gave values for the thermodynamic equilibrium constants of formation of (LaX)²⁺ (K _th ) in good agreement (average K _th =0.45±0.05; 0.15±0.09; 0.03±0.01, respectively for nitrate, chloride and perchlorate). The complexes are characterized by chemical shifts of –25, 22 and –3.1 ppm and by transverse relaxation rates of 11.2, 5 and 1.65 kHz respectively for nitrate, chloride and perchlorate. The¹³⁹La quadrupolar relaxation rate is not controlled by the reorientational correlation time. This finding is discussed, and it is suggested that the very fast exchange of water molecules in the first coordination sphere of La(III) is responsible for the time fluctuation of the electric field gradient at the¹³⁹La nucleus site.     

A direct hydrogen-1, carbon-13, and nitrogen-15 NMR study of lutetium(III)-isothiocyanate complexation in aqueous solvent mixtures

A direct, low-temperature hydrogen-1, carbon-13, and nitrogen-15 nuclear magnetic resonance study of lutetium(III)-isothiocyanate complex formation in aqueous solvent mixtures has been completed. At –100°C to –120°C in water-acetone-Freon mixtures, ligand exchange is slowed sufficiently to permit the observation of separate¹H,¹³C, and¹⁵N NMR signals for coordinated and free water and isothiocyanate ions. In the¹³C and¹⁵N spectra of NCS^–, resonance signals for five complexes are observed over the range of concentrations studied. The¹³C chemical shifts of complexed NCS^– varied from –0.5 ppm to –3 ppm from that of free anion. For the same complexes, the¹⁵N chemical shifts from free anion were about –11 ppm to –15 ppm. The magnitude and sign of the¹⁵N chemical shifts identified the nitrogen atom as the binding site in NCS^–. The concentration dependence of the¹³C and¹⁵N signal areas, and estimates of the fraction of anion bound at each NCS^–:Lu³⁺ mole ratio, were consistent with the formation of [(H₂O)₅Lu(NCS)]²⁺ through [(H₂O)Lu(NCS)₅]^2–. Although proton and/or ligand exchange and the resulting bulk-coordinated signal overlap prevented accurate hydration number measurements, a good qualitative correlation of the water¹H NMR spectral results with those of¹³C and¹⁵N was possible.
