Guanidinium [Formula: see text] chloride, bromide, and iodide salts have been studied by 1H and 2H nmr as a function of temperature. The 2H powder lineshapes show conclusively that reorientation of the guanidinium ion occurs about the principal three-fold axis in the chloride, bromide, and high temperature phase of the iodide. Activation energies for this process have been obtained from 1H spin-lattice relaxation results. The question of whether or not there are concurrent two-fold flips of the —NH2 units is discussed, but must presently remain unresolved. It was found that the high temperature phase of the iodide can be supercooled.

An order–disorder transition occurs in 1-adamantanol at 359 K on heating and at 342 K on cooling, with transition entropies of 36 and 34 J K−1 mol−1, respectively. FT-ir spectra show that free hydroxyl groups exist in the high temperature phase, but the majority of the O—H groups remain hydrogen bonded. The barrier to adamantyl group rotation in the low-temperature phase, determined from proton spin–lattice relaxation time measurements, is 20.9 Kj mol−1, and the barrier to rotation in the high-temperature phase is 35.0 kJ mol−1.

AbstractMeasurements of the 1H spin-lattice relaxation time T1, the linewidth parameter T*2the second moment of 1H NMR absorption, differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry were performed on methylammonium tetrabromozincate(II) crystals from 58 to above 500 K. A solid-solid phase transition was located at 456 K. In the room temperature phase, 120° reorientational jumps of CH3 and NH3+ groups in the cation about its C -N bond axis were detected. In the high-temperature phase, the cations undergo overall reorientation as well as translational self-diffusion. The activation energy for the cationic self-diffusion was evaluated to be 18 kJ mol-1 .

NMR, NQR, powder X-ray diffraction, DTA and AC conductivity were measured in RMBr4 (R = Ag, Cu; M = Al, Ga) and RM2Br7 (R = Li, Ag; M = Al, Ga). In RMBr4 , the activation energy of Cu+ diffusion was evaluated from 63Cu NMR and was in good agreement with that from 81Br NQR. In CuAlBr4 , the e2Qq/h value of 63Cu NMR and the η value of 27AI NMR changed linearly with decreasing temperature, although the e2Qq/h value of 27AI NMR did not change so much. These temperature dependences are supposed to be due to Cu+ diffusion and not to a variation of the lattice constants. In RM2Br7 , the activation energy was obtained from the spin-lattice relaxation time T1 of 81Br NQR and is ascribed to a modulation of the cation diffusion. The line width of 7Li NMR in LiAl2Br7 was about 5.9 kHz in the low-temperature phase and 0.4 kHz for the high-temperature phase. The 27AlNMR spectrum was broadened by the quadrupole interaction and unchanged up to 400 K, suggesting that diffusion of Li+ ions occurs in the high-temperature phase.

The solid pyridinium chloride, bromide, and iodide salts were studied using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and differential scanning calorimetry. Phase transitions were observed at 345 K for the chloride, 269 K for the bromide, and 247 K for the iodide. Well below each transition, the pyridinium ions are held rigidly in the crystal lattice, whereas above each transition the ions reorientate rapidly about an axis at right angles to the ring planes. From the temperature dependence of the spin–lattice relaxation times the high temperature phase reorientational activation energies were determined to be 1.55, 2.30, and 4.20 kcal/mol for the chloride, bromide, and iodide, respectively.

The phase transition behaviour of cycloheptene has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, proton spin-lattice relaxation, and vibrational spectroscopy (infrared and Raman). Two solid–solid phase transitions were observed, at 154 and 210 K, with transition enthalpies and entropies of 5.28 and 0.71 kJ mol−1 and 34.3 and 3.4 JK−1, respectively. Cycloheptene melted at 217 K with an entropy of melting of 4.5 JK−1 mol−1. The bands in the vibrational spectra of the two high temperature phases were broad and featureless, characteristic of highly disordered phases. The presence of other conformers, in addition to the chair form, was indicated from bands in the spectra. The ring inversion mode was highly phase dependent and exhibited soft mode type behaviour prior to the transition from the low temperature phase. The low frequency Raman spectra (external modes) of these phases indicated that the molecules are undergoing isotropic reorientation. In the low temperature phase, the vibrational bands were narrow; the splitting of the fundamentals into two components and the presence of nine external modes are consistent with unit cell symmetry of either C2 or Cs with two molecules per primitive unit cell. A glassy state can be produced from the intermediate phase and the vibrational spectra were very similar to those of the high temperature phases, indicating that static disorder was present. The barriers to reorientation, as obtained from proton spin-lattice relaxation measurements, are 9.0 kJ mol−1 in both the high temperature phases, and 15.4 kJ mol−1 in the low temperature, ordered phase. Keywords: cycloheptene, phase transition, differential scanning calorimetry, NMR, vibrational spectroscopy.

AbstractUsing 2H NMR, the dynamics of the cation in phenethylammonium bromide were studied in the two solid phases. Line shape and spin-lattice relaxation rate studies of the ammonium headgroups and the adajacent methylene groups indicate the onset of alkyl-chain motion prior to the first order phase transition. In the low-temperature phase the line shape and the spin-lattice relaxation rates of the -ND3 groups are consistent with C3 jumps and an activation energy of 54±4 kJ mol-1. However, in the high-temperature phase the spin-lattice relaxation studies indicate the presence of small-angle diffusion of the -ND3 groups around the C3 symmetry axis. In this phase the -CD2- groups show line shapes typical of large-amplitude two-site jumps occurring at a rate > 107 s-1 . In the low-temperature phase, at temperatures below 295 K, the -CD2- 2H NMR line shapes indicate that the C - D bonds are essentially static

The proton NMR second moment and spin-lattice relaxation time have been studied for polycrystalline thiourea pyridinium nitrate inclusion compound and its perdeuderated analogues in a wide temperature range. The reorientation of two dynamically different pyridinium cations around their pseudohexagonal symmetry axis taking place over inequivalent barriers have been revealed in the low-temperature phase. Activation parameters for these motions have been derived. A symmetrization of the potential barriers has been observed at the transition from intermediate to the high temperature phase. The motion of thiourea molecules has been also evidenced, but could not be unambiguously described.

Abstract The 1H-NMR spin-lattice relaxation time and lineshape in solid 2-, 3-, and 4-methyl-piperidine, in 2-and N-methyl-piperazine, and in NN′-diinethyl-piperazine has been measured from low temperatures to the melting point. For all cases, the experimental data can be described by classical rotation of the methyl group. Activation energies governing this motion are between 9 and 14 kJ/mole. Second moments are reduced from about 25 G2 to 17 G2. No further line-narrowing was observed.

Abstract The reorientation of the tetrahedral complex anion ZnCl42- and the self-diffusion of the cation in (CH3NH3)2ZnCl4 were studied by 1H NMR spin-lattice relaxation time (1H T1) experiments. In the second highest-temperature phase, the temperature dependence of 1H T1 observed at 8.5 MHz could be explained by a magnetic dipolar-electric quadrupolar cross relaxation between 1H and chlorine nuclei, and the activation energy of the anion motion was determined to be 105 kJ mol -1 . In the highest-temperature phase, the activation energy of the self-diffusion of the cation was determined to be 58 kJ mol -1 from the temperature and frequency dependence of 1H T1

Abstract Differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and measurements of the 1H spin-lattice relaxation times and second moments of 1H-NMR absorptions were performed on methylammonium tetrachlorozincate (II) crystals over a wide temperature range. A solid-solid phase transition was located at 477 K. From the 1H-NMR experiments it was found that the cations undergo overall reorientation as well as three dimensional translational self-diffusion in the high-temperature phase. In the low-temperature phase, a 120° reorientational motion of the CH3 and NH3+ groups of the cation about its C-N bond axis was detected. The parameters for the motional modes of the cations in the crystal were evaluated from the analysis of the 1H-NMR experimental results.
