Solid-state 73Ge nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an attractive technique for the characterization of solid germanium-containing materials, but experiments can be exceedingly difficult in practice due to the unfavourable NMR properties of the 73Ge nucleus. Presented herein is a series of solid-state 73Ge NMR experiments on germanium halides (GeX4 and GeX2, where X = I, Br, and Cl) conducted at moderate (9.4 and 11.7 T) and ultrahigh (21.1 T) magnetic fields, intended to characterize the 73Ge NMR response in highly symmetric and asymmetric coordination environments. Quadrupole coupling constants range from 0.16 to 35 MHz. Isotropic chemical shifts for the GeX4 series trend with halide electronegativity, as found for the analogous silicon and tin halides. The indirect spin-spin coupling constant 1J(73Ge, 127I) is estimated from 73Ge MAS NMR to be 35 ± 10 Hz in GeI2, with the reduced coupling constant agreeing with those of other group 14 halides. Quantum chemical calculations using GIPAW DFT are in reasonable accord with experimental quadrupole couplings, but fail for chemical shielding. A preliminary NMR crystallographic study of GeI2 and GeCl2 incorporating 127I and 35Cl NMR spectra has led to plausible conclusions reflecting the structural homology of these compounds, although definitive characterization remains elusive.

The solid-state CP MAS (29Si, 119Sn, and 207Pb) NMR spectra of the triphenylsilyl-, triphenyltin-, and triphenyllead(pentacarbonyl)manganese(I) complexes, (Ph3E)Mn(CO)5 (E = Si, Sn, Pb), have been analyzed to give the chemical shifts, one-bond spin-spin coupling constants, 1JE-Mn, the "effective-dipolar" coupling constants (D - ΔJ/3), the chemical shift tensors, and the spin-spin anisotropy (ΔJ), where the analysis permits. For the tin and lead compounds, three and four sets of chemical shifts, respectively, were observed, and two different polymorphs occur for the lead complex, depending on the solvent used for recrystallization. The average values of the reduced coupling constants, 1KMn-Si (2.64 × 1020 T2 J-1), 1KSn-Mn (1.25 × 1020 T2 J-1), and 1KPb-Mn (4.18 × 1020 T2 J-1) showed a linear correlation with the s-electron densities at the respective metal nuclei. The principal components of the chemical shift tensors have been determined for the tin and lead compounds.Key words: manganese-group-14 compounds, solid-state 29Si, 119Sn, and 207Pb CP MAS NMR, spin-spin coupling, chemical shift anisotropy, quadrupole coupling.

13C nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts and nJ(13C,13C) are reported for anisole and 16 of its derivatives, all enriched with 13C in the methoxyl group. 5J(13C,13C) is directly proportional to sin2θ, where θ is the angle by which the methoxy group twists about the C(1)—O bond. In acetone-d6 solution, 5J(C,C) is not observable for a number of 4-substituted anisoles, except for 1,4-dimethoxybenzene. For the latter, 5J(C,C) is compatible with a twofold barrier of 19.3 ± 1.1 kJ/mol hindering rotation about the C(1)—O bond. However, it is unlikely that the barrier is purely twofold in nature. The observed 5J(C,C) is also compatible with 10.5 and 6.0 kJ/mol for the twofold and fourfold components, respectively, implying a dynamical nuclear magnetic resonance barrier of less than 13 kJ/mol. While phase and solvent effects on the internal barrier in anisole are certainly substantial, it appears that a fourfold component must also be present. The apparent twofold barrier in 2,6-difluoroanisole is 5.4 ± 0.9 kJ/mol, based on 5J(C,C) and 6J(H-4,13C). The latter coupling constant is also reported for 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene and used to deduce its conformation. The θ dependence of 3J(C,C) and 4J(C,C) is briefly discussed for symmetrical anisole derivatives. Differential 13C, 13C isotope shifts are reported for 1,4-dimethoxybenzene.

The strong influence of a chalcogen atom (O, S, Se) attached to phosphorus on the spin-spin coupling constant 1J(P-15N) in the family of diastereoisomeric 2-|15N] -phenyl-amino-2X(X = O, S, Se)-4-methyl-l,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes is demonstrated. The 15N/14N isotope effect on the nuclear shielding of phosphorus-31 is larger for the shorter equatorial than for the longer axial P-N bonds.


Twenty-two organo-phosphorus compounds of a variety of structural types have been examined by 1 H—{ 13 C} and 1 H—{ 31 P} magnetic double resonance spectroscopy. The signs and magnitudes of the 31 P—H and 31 P— 13 C spin-spin coupling constants are sensitive to the valency of the phosphorus atom, and the nature of the groups attached to it. Parallel behaviour is noted between two types of coupling constant. The 31 P chemical shifts agree with results obtained by conventional 31 P single resonance spectroscopy, and the 13 C chemical shifts depend on the polarizability of the phosphorus atom and its associated groups.

Changes in X-nuclei screening and scalar spin-spin X-H(D) coupling constants induced by the H-D substitutions in isotopomers [XH4-nDn] (X = N, Al, Ga) have been determined by 14,1l5N, 27 AI, 69,71Ga NMR. Isotopic chemical shifts of nuclei 51V, 53Cr, 99Tc induced by the 16O-18O substitution have been measured for tetra-oxo complexes [VO4]3-, [CrO4]2-, and [TcO4]-. The deuterium-induced secondary isotopic effect on the screening constant of the X nuclei and the scalar spin-spin X-H(D) coupling are correlated with the X-H bond length in [XHJ for the row X = N, C, B, Al, Ga, As the internuclear X-H distance increases, the isotopic shift of the X nuclei with respect to the signal from [XHJ rises linearly on H-D substitution from a negative value for [NH4]+, CH4 to a positive value (the downfield shift) for [GaH4]-. When D is substituted for H in [XH4] the X-H spin-spin coupling constant decreases for X = N, C, B, Al, Ga (the secondary isotopic effect). The magnitude and sign of the secondary isotopic effects on the screening constants of the X nuclei in [XH4] and [XO4] depend on the atomic number of the X element. With the increasing atomic number in the period the isotopic shift to high field rises in magnitude, while with the increasing atomic number in the group the isotopic upfield shift drops in the absolute value and can even change sign in the substitution of the ligand light isotope by a heavier isotope.

An excellent linear correlation (r = 0.9999) exists between the spin–spin coupling constants 1J(1H,13C), in benzene dissolved in four solvents (R. Laatikainen et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 117, 11006 (1995)) and Ando's solvation dielectric function, ε/(ε – 1). The solvents are cyclohexane, carbon disulfide, pyridine, and acetone. 1J(1H,13C)for gaseous benzene is predicted to be 156.99(2) Hz at 300 K.
