The 35Cl nuclear quadruple resonance (NQR) frequencies and spin-lattice relaxation times were measured in the temperature range of 4.2–420 K, of the above-room-temperature ferroelectric 5,6-dichloro-2-methylbenzimidazole, the ferroelectricity of which is thought to arise from the positional ordering of protons along chain of N-H...N hydrogen bonds. The first-order phase transition was clearly detected at around 400 K, as a discontinuity in the temperature dependence of NQR frequencies. The two NQR lines observed showed a much more significant difference in frequency in the high-temperature phase. This is consistent with the recently reported symmetry-lowering of crystal structure on warming. The relaxation mechanism in the low-temperature phase is discussed.

Abstract Temperature dependences of 35Cl NQR frequencies and spin-lattice relaxation times were measured at 4.2 to 400 K for natural and deuterated ammonium hexachloropalladate. It was confirmed that only the deuterated salt undergoes a first order phase transition at 30 K. The crystal structure of the low-temperature phase is predicted to be the same as that of the deuterated ammonium hexachloroplatinate and hexachloroplumbate. The mechanism of the deuteration-induced phase transition is discussed.

The broad line p.m.r. spectra of the alkali metal oleates have been observed from 77 °K up to or beyond the crystalline to waxy phase transition. Lower phase transition temperatures are observed in the oleates than in the stearates. This fact is attributed to larger entropies of transition in the oleates than in the stearates. The n.m.r. second moments indicate that in the stearates the packing of chains is probably not closer than in the oleates and consequently that the barriers to chain reorientation are not significantly higher in the stearates than in the oleates. Sodium oleate and stearate both appear to behave irregularly in the series of alkali metal soaps. Spin-lattice relaxation times have been measured by adiabatic rapid passage methods for both alkali metal oleates and stearates. Values of T1 and of the activation energy barrier for the reorientation of end methyl groups are compared with values obtained by other workers. No significant difference is seen between relaxation processes in stearates and oleates, at least in the lower temperature range. Soaps which seem to have some amorphous character have a second relaxation mechanism, in addition to end methyl group rotation, which is evidently important in the region of about 150–250 °K.

AbstractTemperature dependences of 1H and 19F second moment and spin-lattice relaxation times for polycrystalline pyridinium tetrafluoroborate were measured. A phase transition was discovered at 202 K. A model of cation reorientation between inequivalent (low-temperature phase) and equivalent (high-temperature phase) equilibrium positions is proposed. Whether the anion reorients isotropically or about a symmetry axis cannot be decided. An analysis of cross-relaxation effects yielded activation parameters for cation and anion reorientation. The rotational correlation times for both ions converge just at the phase transition reaching the value of 10-10s.

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.

Abstract Proton and fluorine NMR linewidths, second moments, and spin-lattice relaxation times of polycrystalline [C(NH2)3]2SbF5 and C(NH2)3SbF6 were studied in a wide temperature range. For the pentafluoroantimonate, C3-reorientation of the guanidinium cation and C4-reorientation of the SbF5 anion were revealed and their activation parameters determined. The dynamical inequivalence of the two guanidinium cations was evidenced. For the hexafluoroantimonate, two solid-solid phase transitions were found. In the low temperature phase the guanidinium cation undergoes C3 reorien­ tation while the SbF6 anion reorients isotropically. The respective activation parameters were derived. At high temperatures new ionic plastic phases were evidenced.

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.

The temperature dependence of the 15N and 133Cs NMR spin-lattice relaxation times, the 15N spin-spin relaxation time, and the 15N and 133Cs spectra of CsNO2 was observed in the plastic phase (209.2 < T < 673 K (m. p.)) and the low-temperature phase (Phase II). In Phase II we found the NO-2 180°-flip, which could be attributed to the anomalous increase of the heat capacity curve, and determined the activation energy of this motion to be 8.7-11.7 kJ mol-1. The 15N and 133Cs spectra in this phase are inconsistent with the reported crystal structure R3̅m and can be explained by lower crystal symmetry. In the plastic phase we detected a new anionic motion with 11 kJ mol-1 , an isotropic NO-2 reorientation with 8.5-9 kJ mol-1, and ionic self-diffusion with 47 kJ mol-1. The presence of ionic self-diffusion was confirmed by measuring the electrical conductivity.

NQR and DTA revealed phase transitions in [(CH3)4N] 2HgBr4 and [(CH3)4N] 2HgI4 at 272 K and 264 K, respectively. The NQR resonance lines faded out with increasing temperature. From preliminary measurements of 81Br NQR spin-lattice relaxation times and 199Hg NMR a reorientational motion of HgBr4 ions around one of their pseudo C3 axes in the room temperature phase of [(CH3)4N] 2HgBr4 is suggested.

Abstract The temperature dependences of the 35Cl NQR frequencies vQ and the nuclear quadrupole spin-lattice relaxation times T1Q in 2,6-lutidinium hexachlorotellurate (IV) was observed at various temperatures between 80 and 343 K. This crystal undergoes a phase transition at Tc = 229 K. A single and three pairs of 35Cl NQR frequencies were observed above and below Tc , respectively. The hysteresis of the phase transition and a discontinuity in the temperature dependence of the resonance frequencies at Tc indicate that this phase transition is of first order. Although the resonance frequencies of the pairs in the low temperature phase are very close to one another, T1Q and below Tc could be accurately determined by measuring the Fourier transform spectra of each line. Above ca. 250 K, T1Q showed an exponential decrease which is attributable to the overall reorientational motion of [TeCl6]2- with an activation energy of 82 kJ mol-1

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.
