ABSTRACTThe 13C NMR of FCC C60 under magic angle spinning (MAS) conditionsyields linewidths on the order of 1 Hz at fields of 4.7 T. The spectrum consists of a primary resonance at 143.7 ppm and a minor peak shifted 0.7 ppm downfield. The intensity of the minor resonance relative to the primary resonance was found to vary from 0.6 to 5.5 % depending on the sample history. The downfield shift obeys Curie's law and isattributed to the Fermi contact coupling interaction between paramagnetic oxygen molecules and all 60 carbon atoms of rapidly rotating adjacent C60 molecules. Exposure of the sample to 1 kbar oxygen for 1 3/4 hours resulted in a spectrum of 7 evenly spaced resonances corresponding to 0 to 6 of the adjacent octahedral interstitial sites being filled with oxygen molecules. At ambient pressure, the oxygen diffused out of the lattice on time scales ranging from hours to days.

Molecular species were found to diffuse readily into the octahedral interstitial sites of the fcc lattice of C60. The 13C NMR spectrum of C60 under magic angle spinning (MAS) conditions consisted of a primary resonance at 143.7 ppm and a minor peak shifted 0.7 ppm downfield. The downfield shift obeys Curie's law and is attributed to the Fermi-contact interaction between paramagnetic oxygen molecules and all 60 carbon atoms of rapidly rotating adjacent C60 molecules. Exposure of C60 to 1 kbar oxygen for 1.75 h at room temperature resulted in a spectrum of seven evenly spaced resonances corresponding to the filling of 0 to 6 of the adjacent octahedral interstitial sites with oxygen molecules. The distribution of site occupancies about a C60 molecule provided evidence that the intercalation process is controlled by diffusion kinetics. Exposure to 0.14 kbar hydrogen gas at room temperature for 16 h filled a substantial fraction of the interstitial sites of C60 and C70 with hydrogen molecules.

Phosphorus-31 NMR static powder spectra and high-resolution magic angle spinning spectra have been obtained for a new heterocyclic compound, cis-2,10-dimethyl[1,2,3]benzothiadiphospholo[2,3b][1,2,3]benzothiadiphosphole (1), which contains a P(III)—P(III) single bond. The homonuclear 31P–31P dipolar interaction manifests itself in both the magic angle spinning spectra and the non-spinning line shape. Under the AX spin pair approximation, analysis of the spinning sidebands in the MAS experiment yields a full characterization of the two 31P chemical shielding tensors. This approximation is confirmed by the exact powder line shape simulation for a homonuclear spin pair. Analysis of the dipolar subspectra also yields the absolute sign of 1J(P,P), which is found to be negative. Keywords: phosphorus–phosphorus single bond, chemical shielding tensors, dipolar NMR, MAS, static line shape.

The static 13C nmr powder pattern for solid ammonium thiocyanate is analyzed to obtain the 13C chemical shielding anisotropy, 321 ± 7 ppm, and the 13C–14N dipolar splitting, 1295 ± 25 Hz. Slow magic angle spinning 15N nmr experiments are analyzed to obtain a nitrogen chemical shielding anisotropy of 415 ± 15 ppm. The 13C–14N dipolar splitting leads to an effective C—N bond length of 1.19 ± 0.01 Å, in good agreement with the value of 1.176 Å reported from accurate X-ray and neutron crystallographic studies. In solid NH4NCS absolute values of the average shielding constants [Formula: see text] and ct[Formula: see text] are 52 and 34 ppm, respectively. Comparison of calculated and observed [Formula: see text] values indicates that intermolecular interactions decrease the 13C and 15N shielding constants by approximately 10 and 30 ppm, respectively.

We present a systematic experimental and theoretical investigation of the oxygen chemical shielding and electric-field-gradient tensors in polycrystalline amino acids and a peptide. Analysis of the 17O magic-angle-spinning (MAS), multiple-quantum MAS, and stationary nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra yield the magnitudes and the relative orientations between the two NMR tensors. The obtained 17O NMR parameters are sensitive to the hydrogen bond environments. We also demonstrate that solid-state 17O NMR is potentially useful for studying the secondary structures of peptides and proteins.
