Solid-state 31P and 109Ag CP/MAS NMR as a powerful tool for studying of silver(I) complexes with N-thiophosphorylated thiourea and thioamide ligands

A family of three- and four-coordinated silver(I) complexes of formulas [Ag(PPh₃)₂L], [Ag(PPh₃)L], and [AgL]_n with N-thiophosphorylated thiourea and thioamide ligands of general formula RC(S)NHP(S)(OPri)₂ [R = Ph, PhNH, iPrNH, tBuNH, NH₂] have been studied by solid-state ¹⁰⁹Ag and ³¹P CPMAS NMR spectroscopy. ¹⁰⁹Ag NMR spectra have provided valuable structural information about Ag coordination, which is in good accordance with the available crystal structure data. The data presented in this work represent a significant addition to the available ¹⁰⁹Ag chemical shifts and chemical shifts anisotropies. The silver chemical shift ranges for different P,S-environments and coordination state were discussed in detail. The ¹J(³¹P–^107/109Ag) and ²J(³¹P–³¹P) values were determined and analyzed.     

An Investigation of 1:1 Adducts of Gallium Trihalides with Triarylphosphines by Solid‐State 69/71Ga and 31P NMR Spectroscopy

Several 1:1 adducts of gallium trihalides with triarylphosphines, X₃Ga(PR₃) (X=Cl, Br, and I; PR₃=triarylphosphine ligand), were investigated by using solid‐state ^69/71Ga and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy at different magnetic‐field strengths. The ^69/71Ga nuclear quadrupolar coupling parameters, as well as the gallium and phosphorus magnetic shielding tensors, were determined. The magnitude of the ⁷¹Ga quadrupolar coupling constants (C_Q(⁷¹Ga)) range from approximately 0.9 to 11.0 MHz . The spans of the gallium magnetic shielding tensors for these complexes, δ₁₁?δ₃₃, range from approximately 30 to 380 ppm; those determined for phosphorus range from 10 to 40 ppm. For any given phosphine ligand, the gallium nuclei are most shielded for X=I and least shielded for X=Cl, a trend previously observed for In^III–phosphine complexes. This experimental trend, attributed to spin‐orbit effects of the halogen ligands, is reproduced by DFT calculations. The signs of C_Q(^69/71Ga) for some of the adducts were determined from the analysis of the ³¹P NMR spectra acquired with magic angle spinning (MAS). The ¹J(^69/71Ga,³¹P) and ΔJ(^69/71Ga, ³¹P) values, as well as their signs, were also determined; values of ¹J(⁷¹Ga,³¹P) range from approximately 380 to 1590 Hz. Values of ¹J(^69/71Ga,³¹P) and ΔJ(^69/71Ga,³¹P) calculated by using DFT have comparable magnitudes and generally reproduce experimental trends. Both the Fermi‐contact and spin‐dipolar Fermi‐contact mechanisms make important contributions to the ¹J(^69/71Ga,³¹P) tensors. The ³¹P NMR spectra of several adducts in solution, obtained as a function of temperature, are contrasted with those obtained in the solid state. Finally, to complement the analysis of NMR spectra for these adducts, single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data for Br₃Ga[P(p‐Anis)₃] and I₃Ga[P(p‐Anis)₃] were obtained.     

A variable temperature 31P NMR study of 9-30 atom macrocylic rings of silver(I) with long chain diphosphines

The coordination chemistry of equimolar amounts of silver(I) with the long chain diphosphine ligands Ph₂P(CH₂) _n PPh₂ (where n?=?6, 8, 10, or 12) has been studied by variable temperature ³¹P{¹H} NMR. In all cases two silver(I)/diphosphine complexes were observed in solution at ambient temperature with ¹ J(¹⁰⁷Ag–P) values of ca 500?Hz indicating silver(I) coordinated to two phosphorus atoms in a linear mode. A van’t Hoff study on the variable temperature ³¹P{¹H} NMR data has been used to assign monomeric and dimeric species.     

The bonding situation in 1,3,2‐diazaphospholene derivatives as studied by solid‐state NMR spectroscopy

The ³¹P chemical shift (CS) tensors of the 1,3,2‐diazaphospholenium cation 1 and the P‐chloro‐1,3,2‐diazaphospholenes 2 and 3 and the ³¹P and ¹⁹F CS tensors of the P‐fluoro‐1,3,2‐diazaphospholene 4 were characterized by solid‐state ³¹P and ¹⁹F NMR studies and quantum chemical model calculations. The computed orientation of the principal axes system of the ³¹P and ¹⁹F CS tensors in the P‐fluoro compound was found to be in good agreement with experimentally derived values obtained from evaluation of P–F dipolar interactions. A comparison of the trends in the chemical shifts of 1 – 4 with further available literature data confirms that the unique high shielding of δ₁₁ in the cation 1 can be related to the effective π‐conjugation in the five‐membered heterocycle, and that a further systematic decrease in δ₁₁ for the P‐halogen derivatives 2 – 4 is attributable to the increased perturbation of the π‐electron distribution by interaction with the halide donor.

H(C)Ag: a triple resonance NMR experiment for 109Ag detection in labile silver‐carbene complexes

In silver complexes, indirect detection of ¹⁰⁹Ag resonances via ¹H,¹⁰⁹Ag‐HMQC frequently suffers from small or absent J_HAg couplings or rapid ligand dissociation. In these cases, it would be favourable to employ H(X)Ag triple resonance spectroscopy that uses the large one‐bond J_XAg coupling (where the donor atom of the ligand X is the relay nucleus). We have applied an HMQC‐based version of the H(C)Ag experiment to a labile silver‐NHC complex (NHC = N‐heterocyclic carbene) at natural ¹³C isotopic abundance and variable temperature. In agreement with simulations, H(C)Ag detection became superior to ¹H,¹⁰⁹Ag‐HMQC detection above ?20 °C. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Transition-metal complexes with bidentate ligands spanning trans-position. Part XVI. X-ray structural and 31P-NMR solution studies of 2,11-Bis(diethylphosphinomethyl)benzo[c]phenanthrenesilver(I) perchlorate

The preparation of complexes {AgX(1c)} (X ? Cl, Br, I, NO₃ and ClO₄; 1c = 2,11-bis(diethylphosphinomethyl)benzo[c]phenanthrene) is reported. The ³¹P-NMR spectra of the above complexes were recorded and the ¹J(¹⁰⁷Ag, ³¹P) values are compared with the corresponding data for related complexes. The X-ray crystal structure of [Ag(1c)](ClO₄) was determined. There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the unit cell each containing two-coordinate silver, the O-atoms of the perchlorate anions being outside bonding range from the central atom. The two molecules, however, show different bonding parameters: Thus for ‘molecule 1’ P(1)? Ag(1)? P(2) = 167.6(1)°, Ag(1)? P(1) = 2.389(3) and Ag(1)? P(2) = 2.393(3) Å, while for ‘molecule 2’ P(3)? Ag(2)? P(4) = 164.8(1)°, Ag(2)? P(3) = 2.377(3), and Ag(2)? P(4) = 2.378(3) Å. These differences are probably due to packing forces in the crystal lattice.     

Investigation of silver-containing layered materials and their interactions with primary amines using solid-state 109Ag and 15N NMR spectroscopy and first principles calculations

Silver-containing layered networks of the form [Ag(L)] (L = 4-pyridinesulfonate or p-toluenesulfonate) were treated with primary amines in different ratios. The structures of the parent supramolecular networks are well-known; however, their interactions with primary amines lead to the formation of new layered materials for which single-crystal X-ray structures cannot be obtained. Solid-state (109)Ag, (15)N, and (13)C cross-polarization magic-angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR experiments, in combination with powder X-ray diffraction experiments and ab initio calculations, are utilized to investigate the interactions between the primary amines and the parent materials, and to propose structural models for the new materials. (109)Ag chemical shift (CS) tensor parameters are extremely sensitive to changes in silver environments; hence, (1)H-(109)Ag CP/MAS NMR experiments are used to distinguish and characterize silver sites. The combination of (109)Ag and (15)N NMR experiments on starting materials and samples prepared with both (15)N-labeled and unlabeled amines permits the accurate measurements of indirect (1)J((109)Ag,(15)N) and (1)J((109)Ag,(14)N) spin-spin coupling constants, providing further information on structure and bonding in these systems. First principles calculations of silver CS tensors and (1)J((109)Ag,(14)N) coupling constants in model complexes aid in formulating the proposed structural models for the new materials, which are largely comprised of layers of silver-diamine cations.     

Silver-109 NMR spectroscopy of inorganic solids

In this study the (109)Ag NMR spectra of the following solid inorganic silver-containing compounds were investigated: AgNO(3), AgNO(2), Ag(2)SO(4), Ag(2)SO(3), AgCO(3), Ag(3)PO(4), AgCl, AgBr, AgI, AgSO(3)CH(3), silver p-toluenesulfonate, NaAg(CN)(2), KAg(CN)(2), K(3)Ag(CN)(4), Me(4)NAgCl(2), silver diethylthiocarbamate, silver lactate, silver acetate, silver citrate, and bis[(N,N(1)-di-tert-butylformamidinato)silver(I)]. The magic angle spinning (MAS) spectra of all compounds were obtained. In some cases, when protons were available, the (1)H to (109)Ag cross-polarization (CP) technique was used to enhance the signal and shorten the experimental relaxation delay. It was possible to obtain slow MAS (or CP/MAS) or nonspinning spectra for 10 samples, allowing the determination of the principal components of the (109)Ag chemical shift (CS) tensors. The isotropic chemical shifts and the CS tensors are discussed in light of the available crystal structures. The need for an accepted standard for referencing (109)Ag chemical shifts and the use of AgSO(3)CH(3) as a CP setup sample are also discussed.     

Anion Directed Self‐Assembly of One‐Dimensional and Two‐Dimensional Coordination Polymers Containing Bridging Diphosphine Ligands

The reactions of 1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane (dppe) with different silver(I) salts facilitated the formation of 1D and 2D coordination polymers, [Ag(dppe)(OAc)]_n · nH₂O ( 1 ) and [Ag₂(dppe)_1.5(NO₃)₂]_n ( 2 ), respectively. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, ATR‐IR spectroscopy, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Structural analysis revealed that complex 1 exhibits a 1D infinite wavy structure, in which each silver(I) ion is bridged by dppe ligands. Structure 2 has a 2D topologically promising architecture that displays a 6.6.6 graphitic net, which corresponds to hnd topology. The nitrate ions and dppe ligands are in a μ₂ bridging mode and support the formation of this net. Moreover, significant π–π interactions between the phenyl rings in the apertures of (6,3) grid stabilized complex 2 .     

Solid-state phosphorus-31 NMR spectroscopy of a multiple-spin system: an investigation of a rhodium-triphosphine complex

Phosphorus-31 NMR spectra of solid [tris(dimethylphenylphosphine)](2,5-norbornadiene) rhodium(I) hexafluorophosphate have been acquired at several applied magnetic field strengths. The phosphorus nuclei of the three phosphine ligands are spin-spin coupled to each other and to 103Rh, resulting in complex NMR spectra; however, the three phosphorus chemical shift (CS) tensors were determined through the analysis of NMR spectra of slow magic angle spinning and stationary samples. Spectra of spinning samples in rotational resonance and two-dimensional 31P NMR spectra were particularly useful for determining the magnitudes of the indirect spin-spin couplings, and to probe their signs. Despite being in similar environments, the three phosphorus nuclei of the phosphine ligands have distinct CS tensors. In particular, the spans of these tensors, delta11-delta33, range from 80 to 176 ppm. The phosphorus CS tensors have been assigned to specific sites determined by X-ray crystallography, based on a combination of the experimental results and the results of quantum chemical calculations of the phosphorus shielding and 2J(31P,31P) values. The effect of coordination of dimethylphenylphosphine with rhodium has been investigated by comparing calculated phosphorus CS tensors for the uncoordinated ligand with those obtained for the ligands in the complex.     

13C NMR spectra of phosphole–P(IV) dimers; ABX and AA′X 13C?31P coupling in some derived structures

The easily obtained dimers of phosphole oxides, sulfides and methiodides give ¹³C NMR spectra where carbons within three (sometimes four) bonds of each ³¹P nucleus are doublets of doublets and thus constitute X in an AMX spectrum. Most of the spectra have been completely interpreted with the aid of spectral measurements at two magnetic fields. Saturation of the double bonds in dimers of methylphosphole–P(IV) derivatives causes the ³¹P nuclei to have very similar chemical shifts, with Δν not adequately different from ³J(PP) to give first-order coupling. When both ³¹P nuclei couple with a given ¹³C, a second-order (ABX) ³¹C NMR spectrum is obtained. The presence of the effect is revealed by running the ¹³C NMR spectra at high magnetic field; J(AX)+J(BX) is constant at all fields, but spacing between the lines of the multiplet varies. The spectrum of the oxide, with Δν/J=1.44 for the ³¹P spectrum at 36.43 MHz, approaches first order character at 75 MHz; the methiodide spectrum (Δν/J=4.55) is second order at 15 MHz but clearly first order at 50 MHz, and the sulfide (Δν/J=5.6) is nearly first order at 15 MHz. [2 + 2]-Photochemical intramolecular cyclization of the dimer oxides provides cage-like structures where the ³¹P nuclei are chemically equivalent, but magnetically non-equivalent, making the ¹³C signals have the characteristics of X in an AA′X coupling pattern.     

Structure Determination of an AgI‐Mediated Cytosine–Cytosine Base Pair within DNA Duplex in Solution with 1H/15N/109Ag NMR Spectroscopy

The structure of an Ag^I‐mediated cytosine–cytosine base pair, C–Ag^I–C, was determined with NMR spectroscopy in solution. The observation of 1‐bond ¹⁵N‐¹⁰⁹Ag J‐coupling (¹J(¹⁵N,¹⁰⁹Ag): 83 and 84 Hz) recorded within the C–Ag^I–C base pair evidenced the N3–Ag^I–N3 linkage in C–Ag^I–C. The triplet resonances of the N4 atoms in C–Ag^I–C demonstrated that each exocyclic N4 atom exists as an amino group (?NH₂), and any isomerization and/or N4–Ag^I bonding can be excluded. The 3D structure of Ag^I–DNA complex determined with NOEs was classified as a B‐form conformation with a notable propeller twist of C–Ag^I–C (?18.3±3.0°). The ¹⁰⁹Ag NMR chemical shift of C‐Ag^I‐C was recorded for cytidine/Ag^I complex (δ(¹⁰⁹Ag): 442 ppm) to completed full NMR characterization of the metal linkage. The structural interpretation of NMR data with quantum mechanical calculations corroborated the structure of the C–Ag^I–C base pair.     

3J(PCNH) in phosphorus substituted thioformamides as a configurational probe

Coupling between P and (N)? H has been observed in the ¹H{¹⁴N}NMR spectra of a series of phosphorus substituted thioformamides, R¹₂/P(X)C(S)NHR². For R² = H one of the two couplings constants ³J(PCNH) is much larger than the other. The larger constant is assumed to be ³J(PCNH) (trans) and the magnitude of ³J(PCNH) for several compounds with R² = Me or Ph is used to assign the configuration about the C(S)? N bond.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and ferromagnetic interactions of a silver(I) complex with imizadolyl-substituted nitroxide radicals

A silver(I) complex with nitronyl nitroxide, [Ag₂(NIT-R)₄(NO₃)₂]?·?CH₃OH [NIT-R?=?2-(5-methylimidazol-4-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-imidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide], has been prepared and characterized by magnetic and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In the complex, the silver(I) ion is coordinated with two monodentate nitronyl nitroxide radicals by the nitrogen of the imizadole ring. The silver(I) ion is two-coordinate and forms a dimer through Ag?···?Ag weak metal bonding interactions. The magnetic properties for the title complex have been investigated in the temperature range 2?～?300?K showing ferromagnetic interactions between the coordinated nitronyl nitroxides (J?=?3.64?cm^?1) and intermolecular antiferromagnetic interactions.     

Préparation de phosphonates de sucres ramifiés par addition nucléophile conjuguée. Communication préliminaire

Preparation of unsaturated sugars phosphonates using nucleophilic conjugate addition Different types of phosphorus nucleophiles underwent conjugate addition reaction with one of the branched-chain sugars 4, 5 or 11 the addition taking place either on the endo or the exo face of the furanose ring (or on both faces in the case of 11 ). The configuration at C(3) of these new phosphorus-bearing types of sugars as well as the configuration at the phosphorus atom of the cyclic phosphinates 9 and 10 was established by NMR. (³J_P,H–C(2), ³J_P,C(1)). Small amounts (7%) of the spiro enol phosphonate 16 were formed when 11 reacted with trimethyl phosphite.     

1H and 13C NMR study of α-acetylenic PIII and PIV derivatives. Signs and magnitudes of J(P?C) and J(P?H)

All J(P? H) and J(P? C) values, including signs, have been obtained in acetylenic and propynylic phosphorus derivatives, R₂P(X)? C?C? H and R₂P(X)? C?C? CH₃ (X ? oxygen, lone pair and R ? C₆H₅, N(CH₃)₂, OC₂H₅, N(C₆H₅)₂, Cl) from ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. In P^IV derivatives the following signs are obtained: ¹J(P? C)+, ²J(P? C)+, ³J(P? C)+, ³J(P? H)+, ⁴J(P? H)? . Linear relations are observed between ¹J(P? C), ²J(P? C) and ³J(P? C) versus ³J(P? H), indicating that these coupling constants are mainly dependent on the Fermi contact term, though the other terms of the Ramsey theory do not seem to be negligible for ¹J(P? C) and ²J(P? C). In P^III derivatives these signs are: ¹J(P? C)- and +, ²J(P? C)+, ³J(P? C)-, ³J(P? H)-, ⁴J(P? H)+. Only ³J(P? C) and ³J(P? H) reflect a small contribution of the Fermi contact term while in ¹J(P? C) and ²J(P? C) this contribution seems to be negligible relative to the orbital and/or spin dipolar coupling mechanisms.     

NMR investigation and theoretical studies on the tautomerism of β,β′-tricarbonyl compounds

The behaviour on keto–enol tautomeric equilibration of ethyl 2-benzoyl-5-(2-furyl)-3-hydroxy-penta-2,4-dienoate (1) and ethyl 2-acetyl-3-hydroxy-5-phenyl-penta-2,4-dienoate (2) was investigated by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy in different solvents and BP86/TZVP density functional theory computations. The spectral assignment to enol and keto tautomers was performed with one- and two-dimensional techniques. The percentage of the keto form in the tautomeric equilibrium depends on solvents and rises by increasing solvent polarity. The enol–enol tautomerism is also discussed on the basis of the coupling constants ²J_C,OH, ³J_C,OH and ⁴J_H,OH, respectively.     

Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire de dérivés phosphores. Etude de dithiaphospholanes-1,3,2

The proton NMR spectral analysis of eight different 1,3,2-dithiaphospholanes with various groups attached to the phosphorus atom has been performed. The AA′BB′X (X phosphorus atom) system shows that the two ³J(P? S? C? H) coupling constants have a small magnitude and opposite signs. Using the ³J(HH) values, the torsion about the C₄—C₅ bond has been evaluated. The conformational requirements in the two isomers of the 2 phenyl-4-methyl-1,3,2-dithiaphospholane are also discussed.     

13C n.m.r. spectroscopy of diethyl alkyl- and benzyl-phosphonates. A study of phosphorus–carbon spin–spin coupling constants over one to seven bonds

¹³C chemical shifts and ³¹P? ¹³C spin–spin coupling constants are reported for 10 alkyl-, 20 benzyl- and 3 (naphthylmethyl)-phosphonates. While in saturated aliphatic chains P–C couplings over more than four bonds cannot be resolved, couplings over up to seven bonds are observed in the benzyl type systems. Conformational and substituent effects on J(PC) are studied and discussed. ⁿJ(PF) (n = 4, 5, 6) are reported for the isomeric (fluorobenzyl)phosphonates and ⁿJ(PP) (n = 5, 6, 7) were obtained from the ¹³C satellites in the ³¹P n.m.r. spectra of the isomeric diphosphonates, C₆H₄[CH₂P(O)(OEt)₂]₂. Comparison of those ¹³C absorptions of the latter, which represent the X parts of ABX or AA′X spin systems, with the spectra of the corresponding (methylbenzyl)phosphonates, CH₃C₆H₄CH₂P(O)(OEt)₂, yielded the relative signs of ⁿJ(PC) (n = 2–6).     

A Chiral Amide Derivative with the β‐P4S3 Cage Skeleton

The diamide exo, exo‐β‐P₄S₃(NHCH(Me)Ph)₂ has been made in solution using enantiomerically pure or racemic PhCH(Me)NH₂, and its three diastereomers characterised by complete analysis of their ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectra.The unsymmetric diastereomer contains phosphorus atoms, made chemically non‐equivalent by the chirality of the substituents, which show a large ²J(P—P—P) coupling to each other (225.2 Hz).
