17O NMR Investigation of Chemical Homogeneity in Hybrid Systems

¹⁷O NMR experiments using enriched water were performed to followthe hydrolysis-condensation process of dimethyldiethoxysilanetetraethoxysilane and a 1/1 mixture of dimethyldiethoxysilane andtetraethoxysilane (H₂O/OEt = 0.5; pH = 2). The spectrarecorded over several hours time period were simulated to followquantitatively the variations of residual water, hydroxyl groups(Si–¹⁷ H) and oxo bridges (Si–¹⁷ –Si). Presence of a resonance signal due oxo bridges between di- andtetrafunctional Si units clearly demonstrates that co-condensationreactions occur to a large extent between the two alkoxides, and that thesebonds are stable during the aging period.     

Solvent effects on 17O nuclear magnetic shielding: N-methylformamide in polar and apolar solutions

The solvent effect on ¹⁷O isotropic shielding was computed by different methods: the polarizable continuum model and a mixed approach, including a few real solvent molecules treated as the solute. The experimental data show that the behavior of protic and aprotic solvents is markedly different: we found that the continuum approach describes well the observed shielding at various dielectric constants for aprotic solvents, while the mixed procedure is needed when hydrogen bonds to the magnetic centre are present.Contribution to the Jacopo Tomasi Honorary Issue     

Hydrolysis of Volatile Ammonium Oxofluorotitanate According to 19F, 17O, and 49Ti NMR Data

Hydrolysis of NH₄TiO_xF_5-2x (x0.4) (I) was investigated by ¹⁹F, ¹⁷O, and ⁴⁹Ti NMR. The interaction of complex I with water is accompanied by the formation of [TiF₆]^2- and multinuclear titanium forms. The composition of the main forms resulting from hydrolysis of I has been established. The bonding of titanium octahedra into dimers and other oligomers occurs by formation of hydroxyl bridges, considerably lowering the pH of the solution. Close analogy has been found between hydrolysis of the title complex and that of titanium tetrafluoride.     

New synthesis of mullite. Structural evolution study by 17O, 27Al and 29Si MAS NMR spectroscopy

Mullite has been prepared from a new combination of precursors. An aluminum alkoxide, aluminium isopropoxide, and silicon tetrachloride, are hydrolysed in tetrahydrofuran solution by ¹⁷O enriched water. The resulting powder is chemically homogeneous, crystallizing into mullite at 980°C. The structural evolution has been studied by DTA, TGA, XRD and ¹⁷O, ²⁷Al and ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectroscopy.     

Invertomers at nitrogen in aziridine carboxylates by mltltinuclear (1H,13C,17O,and15N) NMR study

A confrgurational and conformational study of NH, N-acetyl- and N-sulfonylaziridine carboxylates is performed by¹H ,¹³C,¹⁷O, and¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy. The presence of acetyl and su fonyl groups on the ring nitrogen atom seems to reduce greatly the configurational stability at nitrogen.Published in Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1226–1234, September, 1995.     

On the detection of both carbonyl and hydroxyl oxygens in amino acid derivatives: a O NMR reinvestigation

The hypothesis and the conclusions of previous ¹⁷O NMR studies on the detection of both oxygens of the carboxylic group of Boc-[¹⁷O]Tyr(2,6-diClBzl)-OH in DMSO-d₆ solution (Tetrahedron Lett.2000, 41, 8651) are reconsidered. The appearance of two discrete resonances at 340 and 175 ppm of this protected amino acid is not now attributed: (a) to the reduction of the intramolecular conformational exchange rate, due to the effect of intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the hydroxy part of the carboxyl with the carbonyl oxygen of the Boc-group, and (b) to the effect of solvent viscosity, suggested in the mentioned study. The cause of this phenomenon is now attributed to a strong hydrogen bonding of the polar proton acceptor solvent DMSO with the carboxy group, which effectively reduces the proton exchange rate, thus becoming slow on the ¹⁷O NMR time scale.     

17O-NMR-spectroscopy as a tool for stereochemical analysis — Application to a diterpene-derivative

Summary Treatment of abietic acid methylester with Hg(OAc)₂/MeOH produces a dimethoxy derivative. The determination of the configuration at C-7 of this product by means of 1D- and 2D-NMR-spectroscopic methods is described. The results are verified by application of¹⁷O-NMR spectroscopy and comparison with well-established stereochemical dependencies of¹⁷O chemical shifts.

A Thermodynamic, 13C NMR,and 17O NMR Study of Isomeric 4,7-Dihydro-1,3-dioxepins and 4,5-Dihydro-1,3-dioxepins

The relative thermodynamic stabilities of 4,7-dihydro-1,3-dioxepin (4,6-dioxacycloheptene, 1a) and 4,5-dihydro-1,3-dioxepin (3,5-dioxacycloheptene, 1b), and of a number of their 2-substituted derivatives, have been determined by base-catalyzed chemical equilibration in DMSO solution. Without exception, the 4,5-dihydro isomer is the dominating species at thermodynamic equilibrium. The relative stability of the b form is promoted by the presence of a single alkyl group on C-2, whereas two alkyl groups on C-2 have an opposite effect. In general, the thermodynamic parameters H _m and _Sm , of isomerization vary unexpectedly with the pattern of substitution at C-2. These trends appear to be derived from significant substituent-induced conformational changes in the b isomer, as suggested by ¹³C and ¹⁷O NMR chemical shift data.     

NMR Spectra of Cyclic Nitrones. 7. The Influence of Substituents and a Hydrogen Bond on <Superscript>14</Superscript>N and <Superscript>17</Superscript>O Chemical Shifts in Derivatives of 3-Imidoazoline 3-Oxide

Derivatives of 3-imidazoline 3-oxide have been studied by ¹⁴N and ¹⁷O NMR methods. Regularities of the influence of substituents and of a hydrogen bond on chemical shifts have been made apparent. The range of changes of the chemical shifts of the nitrogen and oxygen nuclei of the nitrone group has been determined. Both in the ¹⁷O and in the ¹⁴N NMR spectra the signals of the amino derivatives are the highest field signals for the nitrone group, and the lowest field signals are the signals of the cyano derivatives in the series of derivatives investigated. Depending on the substituent (from amino to cyano group) the ¹⁷O chemical shifts varied over a range ∼155 ppm, but the interval of change of the ¹⁴N chemical shifts for the same substituents was ∼110 ppm. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1336–1341.

Correlation between C and O chemical shifts and torsional strain in spiroacetals

The relationship between the ¹³C and ¹⁷O NMR chemical shifts and the dihedral energies (non-bonding interactions) of 1,4-dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane, 1,4-dioxa- and 6,10-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane, 1,4-dioxa- and 6,11-dioxaspiro[4.6]undecane, 1,5-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane, 1,5-dioxa and 7,12-dioxaspiro[5.6]dodecane and 1,6-dioxaspiro[6.6]tridecane were analyzed. These data showed correlation of the non-bonding interactions with the chemical shift of the spiranic carbon, as well as a linear relationship between ¹³C and ¹⁷O.     

Intramolecular rearrangements of cyclooctadienerhodium(I) fragments supported on a vanadium oxide cluster as evidenced by dynamic17O NMR spectroscopy

Variable-temperature¹⁷O NMR together with⁵¹V and¹⁰³Rh NMR studies on newly prepared vanadium oxide-supported organorhodium(I) fragment(s), [(RhCOD) _n (V₄O₁₂)]^(4–n)– (n = 1, 2; COD = ⁴-1,5-cyclooctadiene) indicate that intramolecular rearrangements of RhCOD fragment(s) on a vanadium oxide surface occur in solution.     

Solution structure of bis(acetoxy)iodoarenes as observed by O NMR spectroscopy

A group of para-substituted bis(acetoxy)iodoarenes has been studied by ¹⁷O and ¹³C NMR. Only one signal for all the oxygens of the acetoxy groups has been observed. Both ¹⁷O and ¹³C chemical shifts of this group show a strong invariance with para substitution. The absence of covalent I-O bonds and an ion pair structure is proposed for the title compounds.     

Freezing-point of mixtures of H 2 16 O and H 2 18 O

Freezing-point depression of mixtures of H ₂ ¹⁶ O and H ₂ ¹⁸ O were measured. The results showed that the freezing point of the mixture rose linearly with an increase in the molal concentration of H ₂ ¹⁸ O. The results suggested the formation of a solid solution of H ₂ ¹⁶ O and H ₂ ¹⁸ O by freezing, similar to that formed by H ₂ O–D ₂ O, and that H ₂ ¹⁸ O behaves as a different molecule than H ₂ ¹⁶ O.     

17O-NMR spectroscopy to study the coordination of oxygen-based ligands to lanthanide ions in solution

The number of oxygen-based ligands coordinated to lanthanide ions influences the physical and chemical properties of lanthanide complexes, making this number important to study. We used peak shifts in ¹⁷O-NMR spectroscopy to determine the number of individual nonhydroxyl-oxygen-based ligands coordinated to Dy³⁺. Oxygen-containing organic solvents were used as models to represent oxygen-based ligands to explore the scope of the technique because they contain a range of functional groups that have different electron-donating abilities and steric bulk. The measured coordination numbers of dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetone, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, di-isopropyl ketone, and hexamethyl acetone were consistent with reasonable values, indicating that ¹⁷O-NMR spectroscopy is a useful technique to study the coordination chemistry of nonhydroxyl ligands to lanthanide ions in solution.     

Olive Oil Traceability Studies Using Inorganic and Isotopic Signatures: A Review

The olive oil industry is subject to significant fraudulent practices that can lead to serious economic implications and even affect consumer health. Therefore, many analytical strategies have been developed for olive oil’s geographic authentication, including multi-elemental and isotopic analyses. In the first part of this review, the range of multi-elemental concentrations recorded in olive oil from the main olive oil-producing countries is discussed. The compiled data from the literature indicates that the concentrations of elements are in comparable ranges overall. They can be classified into three categories, with (1) Rb and Pb well below 1 µg kg⁻¹; (2) elements such as As, B, Mn, Ni, and Sr ranging on average between 10 and 100 µg kg⁻¹; and (3) elements including Cr, Fe, and Ca ranging between 100 to 10,000 µg kg⁻¹. Various sample preparations, detection techniques, and statistical data treatments were reviewed and discussed. Results obtained through the selected analytical approaches have demonstrated a strong correlation between the multi-elemental composition of the oil and that of the soil in which the plant grew. The review next focused on the limits of olive oil authentication using the multi-elemental composition method. Finally, different methods based on isotopic signatures were compiled and critically assessed. Stable isotopes of light elements have provided acceptable segregation of oils from different origins for years already. More recently, the determination of stable isotopes of strontium has proven to be a reliable tool in determining the geographical origin of food products. The ratio ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr is stable over time and directly related to soil geology; it merits further study and is likely to become part of the standard tool kit for olive oil origin determination, along with a combination of different isotopic approaches and multi-elemental composition.     

CO LMR spectrum of14N16O and its analysis with spectra of14N17O and14N18O

LMR spectra for v=1←0 transitions of¹⁴N¹⁶O in X²II_{1/2, 3/2} states were observed at 5.6 μm and 5.4 μm of CO laser. Introducing the advanced isotopic molecular constant scaling function to Hund’s case (a) diatomic structure model, these spectra were analyzed and fitted together with all reliable previous spectral data of¹⁴N¹⁶O as well as¹⁴N¹⁷O and¹⁴N¹⁸O. A full set of precise molecular parameters and their vibrational dependencies have been determined with much higher precision (1–2 orders for most parameters). Many of them have been obtained for the first time. Using isotopic scaling function, the molecular constants of¹⁴N¹⁷O and¹⁴N¹⁸O were deduced.
