We report solid-state NMR determination of the 133Cs chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) for a series of cesium complexes with macrocyclic ligands. It was found that the isotropic 133Cs chemical shifts are related to the number of oxygen atoms to which the Cs+ ion is coordinated. The 133Cs chemical shifts were found to correlate with average Cs-O distances. We also attempt to use the established correlation to deduce Cs+ coordination environment for compounds with unknown structures. We also report the X-ray determination of the crystal structure for Cs(DB18C6)2SCN•1/2CH3OH•1/2H2O. The compound crystallizes in monoclinic, a = 14.503(2), b = 15.152(3), c = 39.989(6) Å, β = 90.796(8)°, space group P21/c, Z = 8. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit cell where each of the two Cs+ ions is coordinated to two DB18C6 ligand molecules forming a sandwich-type structure.Key words: solid state NMR, alkali metal, 133Cs chemical shift, macrocyclic ligand, crystal structure.

Beryllium-9 (9Be) quadrupolar coupling and chemical shift tensor data are reported for bis(1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-2-ylidene)beryllium (Be(CAAC)2). These are the first such data for beryllium in a linear dicoordinate environment. The 9Be quadrupolar coupling constant, 2.36(0.02) MHz, is the largest recorded in the solid state to date for this isotope. The span of the beryllium chemical shift tensor, 22(2) ppm, covers about half of the known 9Be chemical shift range, and the isotropic 9Be chemical shift, 32.0(0.3) ppm, is the largest reported in the solid state to our knowledge. DFT calculations reproduce the experimental data well. A natural localized molecular orbital approach has been used to explain the origins and orientation of the beryllium electric field gradient tensor. The single-crystal X-ray structure of a second polymorph of Be(CAAC)2 is also reported. Inspection of the powder X-ray diffraction data shows that the new crystal structure is part of the bulk product next to another crystalline phase. Therefore, experimental X-ray powder data for the microcrystalline powder sample and the SSNMR data do not fully match either the originally reported crystal structure (Arrowsmith et al. Nat. Chem. 2016, 8, 890–894) or the new polymorph. The ability of solid-state NMR and powder X-ray diffraction to characterize powdered samples was thus particularly useful in this work.

Nimustine hydrochloride [systematic name: 4-amino-5-({[N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-nitrosocarbamoyl]amino}methyl)-2-methylpyrimidin-1-ium chloride], C9H14ClN6O2+·Cl−, is a prodrug of CENU (chloroethylnitrosourea) and is used as a cytostatic agent in cancer therapy. Its crystal structure was determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. The protonation at an N atom of the pyrimidine ring was established by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
