From 100.6-MHz 13C NMR coalescence temperature measurements, the title complex is shown to undergo a single degenerate ring inversion process with a free energy barrier of [Formula: see text]. This is ca. 5 kJ/mol higher than the barrier in the free crown. The solid state 13C CPMAS spectrum is indicative of a totally unsymmetrical conformation and the shift trends in the solid are analyzed in terms of local torsional angle variations. Comparisons of experimental vs. calculated (GIAO) 13C chemical shift ranges for the CH2O carbons in the solid are made and satisfactory agreement with respect to the overall range and magnitude of the 13C shielding differences is obtained. Key words: crown ethers, stereochemistry, NMR.

The major isomer obtained by hydrogenation of dibenzo-24-crown-8 ether is shown to have the cis-syn-cis configuration as determined from the crystal structure of its sodium perchlorate complex. This material possesses eight-coordinate sodium with Na—O distances ranging from 2.54 to 2.78 Å. The complex is shown to exist in a single asymmetric conformation below 240 K as determined by 13C NMR at 125 MHz. From NMR coalescence temperature measurement, the free energy of activation for cyclohexane ring inversion in this complex has been determined to be 51.0 ± 0.6 kJ/mol.

The title complex is asymmetric in the crystal due to the spatial orientation of the NCS function. The space group has been determined to be P21 with a = 9.496(3), b = 8.736(3), c = 9.676(3) Å, β = 117.859(5)°, and Z = 2. The solid state 13C NMR spectrum is consistent with the lack of symmetry in the crystal and there is little evidence for large amplitude motion in the macrocycle as determined from the dipolar dephased spectrum.Key words: macrocyclic crown ether, lithium complex.

Membranes of cells are active barriers, in which membrane proteins perform essential remodelling, transport and recognition functions that are vital to cells. Membrane proteins are key regulatory components of cells and represent essential targets for the modulation of cell function and pharmacological intervention. However, novel folds, low molarity and the need for lipid membrane support present serious challenges to the characterisation of their structure and interactions. We describe the use of solid state NMR as a versatile and informative approach for membrane and membrane protein studies, which uniquely provides information on structure, interactions and dynamics of membrane proteins. High resolution approaches are discussed in conjunction with applications of NMR methods to studies of membrane lipid and protein structure and interactions. Signal enhancement in high resolution NMR spectra through DNP is discussed as a tool for whole cell and interaction studies.

Some recent progress in solid state 47,49Ti NMR is described and reviewed. The metallic-state work described covers metals such as hep titanium, TiB2 , a number of intermetallics such as TiAl2 and TiAl3· The inorganic work covers the various titanium oxide based materials including the TiO2 polymorphs, anatase, rutile and brookite. The gel work covers the evolution of crystalline titania from gels formed by hydrolysis of titanium isopropoxide. Some complementary data from 17O and 13C NMR and powder X-ray diffraction is also included.

The reaction of dimethylcadmium with alcohols R-OH in equimolar ratio leads to the formation of tetrameric methylcadmium alkoxides with molecular formula [(MeCd)4 (OR)4] [R = Me (1), Et (2) and iPr (3)]. These compounds have been characterised by 1H, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy, by mass spectrometry, elemental analyses and by X-ray crystallography (for 2 and 3). The solid state structures show distorted cubane-type aggregates with Cd4O4 cores. The structural aspects and the spectroscopic characterisations of these compounds are discussed.

Perfluorocyclohexane (PFCH) and perfluoromethylcyclohexane (PFMCH) have been irradiated in the solid state by γ rays of 60Co. The electron spin resonance (e.s.r.) spectrum of PFCH irradiated at 77 °K corresponds mainly towhich is tumbling in the matrix above 160 °K and disappears at the transition point (180 °K). When γ irradiation is carried out at 200 °K, C6F11• is also produced, but reacts with PFCH giving a radicalsupposed to be [Formula: see text]The e.s.r. spectrum of PFMCH γ irradiated at 77 °K has not been identified; it might be attributable in part to (•C6F11CF3)−. Above 160–170° K, the e.s.r. spectrum corresponds only toThe equal coupling of the four γ fluorines and also the relative intensity 1:4:1 of the three main groups of lines observed above 210 °K suggest that ring inversion occurs with a high rate.We have also studied the radicals [Formula: see text]produced by γ irradiation in the presence of oxygen. The variation of their spectra with temperature, particularly near the transition points, is very characteristic of the motion involved.
