Due to the rigid structure of 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA), its 31P chemical shift solely depends on non-covalent interactions in which the molecule is involved. The maximum range of change caused by the most common of these, hydrogen bonding, is only 6 ppm, because the active site is one of the PTA nitrogen atoms. In contrast, when the PTA phosphorus atom is coordinated to a metal, the range of change exceeds 100 ppm. This feature can be used to support or reject specific structural models of organometallic transition metal complexes in solution by comparing the experimental and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculated values of this 31P chemical shift. This approach has been tested on a variety of the metals of groups 8–12 and molecular structures. General recommendations for appropriate basis sets are reported.

AbstractThe electric field gradients (EFG) in aluminium due to a monovacancy and the interstitial muon are evaluated. The valence effect EFG qv is calculated using perturbed electron density δn(r)values obtained from density functional theory in an analytic expression which is valid at all distances from the impurity. The size effect EFG qs is evaluated using a new oscillatory form for the near neighbour (nn) displacements. The numerical values of qs are computed using fractional nn displacements available in the literature. For the total EFG good agreement with experiment is obtained without the use of any parameter.
