We report a solid-state NMR study of the anisotropic nuclear spin interactions in H 2 O@C 60 at room temperature. We find evidence of significant dipole–dipole interactions between the water protons, and also a proton chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) interaction. The principal axes of these interaction tensors are found to be perpendicular. The magnitude of the CSA is too large to be explained by a model in which the water molecules are partially aligned with respect to an external axis. The evidence indicates that the observed CSA is caused by a distortion of the geometry or electronic structure of the fullerene cages, in response to the presence of the endohedral water.

With the increasing number of organocalcium and organomagnesium complexes under development, there is a real need to be able to characterize in detail their local environment in order to fully rationalize their reactivity. For crystalline structures, in cases when diffraction techniques are insufficient, additional local spectroscopies like 25Mg and 43Ca solid-state NMR may provide valuable information to help fully establish the local environment of the metal ions. In this current work, a prospective DFT investigation on crystalline magnesium and calcium complexes involving low-coordination numbers and N-bearing organic ligands was carried out, in which the 25Mg and 43Ca NMR parameters [isotropic chemical shift, chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) and quadrupolar parameters] were calculated for each structure. The analysis of the calculated parameters in relation to the local environment of the metal ions revealed that they are highly sensitive to very small changes in geometry/distances, and hence that they could be used to assist in the refinement of crystal structures. Moreover, such calculations provide a guideline as to how the NMR measurements will need to be performed, revealing that these will be very challenging.
