Modified spectral editing methods for (13)C CP/MAS experiments in solids

The spectral editing approach of Zilm and coworkers utilizes polarization, polarization inversion, and spin depolarization methods for enhancing or suppressing NMR spectral lines in solids. The proposed pulse sequences allow nonprotonated C, CH, CH(2), and CH(3) types of carbon resonances to be separated from one another and identified accordingly. The former method tentatively separates the nonprotonated C and CH(3) peaks with a cutoff shift of 35 ppm. This shift is a reasonable demarcation shift for a preponderance of organic molecules, but exceptions do exist that could constitute a serious drawback in a few instances. The new approach separates the nonprotonated C and CH(3) carbon peaks unequivocally using modified pulse sequences similar to those of Zilm. Further, both the CH only and CH(2) only spectra, respectively, can be acquired directly from combining so called (+) and (-) sequences using different spectral delay periods and pulse parameters. The (+) and the (-) pulse sequences produce signals for the nonprotonated and methyl carbons that have essentially the same amplitude but opposite phases. These spectra, combined with the previously reported CH(3) and nonprontonated C only spectra, offer a complete spectral editing technique for solid samples. Examples of these spectral editing methods are provided for 3-methylglutaric acid, fumaric acid monoethyl ester, and two complex natural products: methyl o-methylpodocarpate and 10-deacetylbaccatin III.     

13C CP MAS NMR and GIAO-CHF calculations of coumarins

13C cross-polarization magic-angle spinning NMR spectra were recorded for a series of solid coumarins. Ab initio calculations of shielding constants were performed with the use of GIAO-CHF method. The combined CPMAS NMR and theoretical approach was successful in characterizing solid-state conformations of coumarins; a relationship sigma (ppm) = -1.032 xdelta + 205.28 (R(2) = 0.9845) can be used to obtain structural information for coumarins, for which solid-state NMR or crystal structure data are not available.

Experimental method for low-temperature reaction studies in sealed samples by 13C CP/MAS NMR

A new, simple, and inexpensive technique is presented for monitoring high-resolution solid-state NMR of ¹³C at temperatures ranging between 85 and 450 K. In this procedure, the reaction conditions are controlled by preparing samples at 77 K in 5 mm NMR tubes, while attached to a vacuum system. The NMR tubes are prefitted with a rotor for spinning. After preparation, the samples are sealed, transferred to the double-resonance MAS NMR probe, and analyzed, all while the sample temperature is maintained as low as 85 K. The spinning rates vary from 3.0 kHz at 85 K to 5.2 kHz at 300 K using nitrogen drive gas. Probe design and performance, sample-preparation procedure, and details of the low-temperature experiment are described. In general, the technique may be applied in studies of low-temperature reaction mechanisms and kinetics. ¹³C CP/MAS spectra of ethylene adsorbed on silica-supported ruthenium catalyst are presented to illustrate its performance and possible application.

Quantitative characterization of coal structure by high-resolution CP/MAS 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy

A method for quantitatively characterizing the carbon skeletal structure of coal by variable contact time experiment using high-resolution CP/MAS ¹³C solid-state NMR spectroscopy is proposed in this paper. The initial polarization transfer intensity from protons directly bonded with carbons, instead of dipolar-dephasing techniques which had to run on a lower frequency NMR spectrometer (100.02 MHz for proton), was used to divide the bridgehead and protonated aromatic carbons, making all the NMR data in this paper obtained on a high frequency NMR spectrometer (500.12 MHz for proton). On this basis, the fractions of different carbons in coal were further divided by the initial polarization transfer intensity from spin diffusion of protons unbonded with carbons. The structure of Naomaohu coal, a subbituminous coal from China, was measured. The change of polarization transfer with contact time was analyzed quantitatively. The fractions of aromatic, aliphatic, carboxyl and carbonyl carbons, and corrective aromaticity are 0.61, 0.39, 0.1 and 0.51, respectively. The fractions of protonated and bridgehead aromatic carbons are 0.22 and 0.09, respectively. These results agreed with literatures, and bond concentration calculated by the carbon skeletal structure distribution of coal was reasonable.     

~(13)C CP/MAS OF MOTIONS IN SOLID POLYMERS

High-resolution 13C spectra of solid polymers are often acquired with cross polarization with magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) to take advantage of the abunda ntly available protons in the polymer chains. The sequence for transferring mag netization from 1H to13C using Hartmann-Hahn spin locking in the rotating frame is now a standard in commercial solidstate NMR spectrometers.     

Crystal structure and 13C CP/MAS NMR of the p-xylene clathrate of Dianin's compound

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and ¹³C solid state NMR spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure and dynamics of the p-xylene clathrate of Dianin's compound. In contrast to conclusions obtained from single-crystal ²H NMR and modelling, the diffraction results suggest there is a single (symmetry disordered) guest site without any significant distortion of the host framework. A single xylene guest statistically disordered over six overlapping equivalent positions can account for the ¹³C NMR spectrum at room temperature. The high crystal-lographic symmetry arises from space averaging. At high temperatures the ¹³C spectrum is consistent with the onset of dynamic processes that result in higher effective symmetry.     

On the 13C CP/MAS spectra of leucine.

The CP/MAS 13C NMR spectra of crystalline L-leucine and DL-leucine at 7 T are compared with previously reported spectra at lower field strengths. An increasing dominance of chemical shift effects over residual 14N-13C dipolar interactions is observed on the C alpha and C beta splittings with increasing field strength. A new structure is observed in the 25 ppm region of both samples. The spectra in this region were assigned by application of the depolarisation-repolarisation method. The assignment showed differences in the ordering of peaks between solid state and liquid state chemical shifts.     

Observation of nitrogen-14, carbon-13 indirect spin-spin coupling in high-resolution 13C CP/MAS spectra of solids.

The 13C CP/MAS NMR spectrum of [(n-C3H7)4N][Cd(SCN)3], 1, indicates the presence of three non-equivalent thiocyanate ligands, in agreement with the results of a recent single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. Examination of the 13C MAS line shapes allows direct measurement of the indirect spin-spin coupling constants, 1J(14N, 13C) = 16 +/- 1 Hz and 2J(111/113Cd, 13C) = 75 +/- 5 Hz, for the unique N-bonded thiocyanate ligand. This is the first reported measurement of 1J(14N, 13C) and 2J(111/113Cd, 13C) in the solid state. Possible reasons for the failure to observe 1J(14N, 13C) values in previous high-resolution 13C CP/MAS NMR studies are summarized.

Thermal maturity of type II kerogen from the New Albany Shale assessed by 13C CP/MAS NMR

Thermal maturity of oil and gas source rocks is typically quantified in terms of vitrinite reflectance, which is based on optical properties of terrestrial woody remains. This study evaluates 13C CP/MAS NMR parameters in kerogen (i.e., the insoluble fraction of organic matter in sediments and sedimentary rocks) as proxies for thermal maturity in marine-derived source rocks where terrestrially derived vitrinite is often absent or sparse. In a suite of samples from the New Albany Shale (Middle Devonian to the Early Mississippian, Illinois Basin) the abundance of aromatic carbon in kerogen determined by 13C CP/MAS NMR correlates linearly well with vitrinite reflectance.     

Si CP/MAS NMR of phosphorus-bearing organosilicon compounds

While liquid-state ²⁹Si NMR of phosphorus-bearing organosilicon compounds with more than one phosphorus per molecule can take advantage of the presence of J-coupling ⁿJ(³¹P²⁹Si) for purposes of structural assignment from J-coupling patterns, conventional ²⁹Si CP/MAS spectra of such molecular solids do not reveal structural details in a straightforward manner. For such compounds it is necessary to obtain ²⁹Si CP/MAS spectra under conditions of simultaneous ¹H- and ³¹P-high power decoupling in order to derive reliable ²⁹Si chemical shift information. ²⁹Si CP/MAS NMR spectra, obtained with and without ³¹P high power decoupling during the acquisition time, of several organosilicon compounds containing Si_xP_y (x = 1 −10, y = 1 −10) moieties are reported.     

1H MAS, 13C CP/MAS, and 2H NMR spectra studies of piperidinium {\emph{p}}-chlorobenzoate

Anomalous H/D isotope effects were detected in the ¹H MAS NMR spectra of piperidinium p-chlorobenzoate (C₅H₁₀NH $_{2}{^{+}}\cdot $ ClC₆H₄COO^???) upon deuterium substitution of hydrogen atoms which form two kinds of N-H?O H-bonds in the crystal; in contrast to these spectra, only slight chemical shifts were recorded in ¹³C CP/MAS NMR spectra. ²H NMR spectrum of the deuterated sample show quadrupole coupling constants of 148 and 108 kHz, and reveal that there are a few motions contributing to the electric-field modulation of the ²H nucleus. The ¹H MAS NMR spectra of piperidinium p-chlrobenzoate-d ₁₆ (C₅D₁₀ND $_{2}{^{+}}\cdot $ ClC₆D₄COO^???) and -d ₁₄ (C₅D₁₀NH $_{2}{^{+}}\cdot $ ClC₆D₄COO^???) revealed that the change in the envelope is caused by chemical shifts of each signal upon deuteration. Calculations based on the density-functional-theory showed that the N-H distance along the crystallographic a-axis mainly contributes to the anomalous isotope effects on ¹H MAS NMR envelopes.     

A 13C NMR probe for high-temperature and high-pressure experiments

A simple pressurized, internally heated, high-temperature ¹³C NMR probe for work in the temperature range from 293 to 823 K and pressure range from 0.1 to 100 MPa is reported. The sample cell has a capillary opening and the vessel was pressurized by inert gas. From the measurements of ¹³C spectra of residue of thermal degradation of polyvinyl chloride, the process of the polycondensation of rings was directly observed. These results show that the ¹³C spectra contain more clear information than the corresponding proton spectra.
