Data Acquisition And Processing

The full 207 Pb chemical shift (CS) tensor of lead in the mineral anglesite, PbSO 4 , was determined from orientation-dependent nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of a large natural single crystal, using a global fit over two rotation patterns. The resulting tensor is characterised by the reduced anisotropy Δ δ = ( - 327 ± 4 ) ppm, asymmetry η C S = 0 . 529 ± 0 . 002 , and δ i s o = ( - 3615 ± 3 ) ppm, with the isotropic chemical shift δ i s o also verified by magic-angle spinning NMR on a polycrystalline sample. The initially unknown orientation of the mounted single crystal was included in the global data fit as well, thus obtaining it from NMR data only. By use of internal crystal symmetries, the amount of data acquisition and processing for determination of the CS tensor and crystal orientation was reduced. Furthermore, a linear correlation between the 207 Pb isotropic chemical shift and the shortest Pb–O distance in the co-ordination sphere of Pb 2 + solely surrounded by oxygen has been established for a large database of lead-bearing natural minerals.

Abstract. Chemical shift tensors in 13C solid-state NMR provide valuable localized information on the chemical bonding environment in organic matter, and deviations from isotropic static-limit powder line shapes sensitively encode dynamic-averaging or orientation effects. Studies in 13C natural abundance require magic-angle spinning (MAS), where the analysis must thus focus on spinning sidebands. We propose an alternative fitting procedure for spinning sidebands based upon a polynomial expansion that is more efficient than the common numerical solution of the powder average. The approach plays out its advantages in the determination of CST (chemical-shift tensor) principal values from spinning-sideband intensities and order parameters in non-isotropic samples, which is here illustrated with the example of stretched glassy polycarbonate.

The electronic surroundings of phosphorus and lithium atoms in the ionic conductor lithium dihydrogen phosphate (LDP) have been studied by single-crystal nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy at room temperature. From orientation-dependent NMR spectra of a large homegrown LDP single crystal, the full 31P chemical shift (CS) and 7Li quadrupole coupling (QC) tensor was determined, using a global fit over three rotation patterns. The resulting CS tensor is characterized by its three eigenvalues: δ 11 P A S = ( 67.0 ± 0.6 ) ppm, δ 22 P A S = ( 13.9 ± 1.5 ) ppm, and δ 33 P A S = ( − 78.7 ± 0.9 ) ppm. All eigenvalues have also been verified by magic-angle spinning NMR on a polycrystalline sample, using Herzfeld–Berger analysis of the rotational side band pattern. The resulting 7Li QC tensor is characterized by its quadrupolar coupling constant χ = Q 33 P A S = ( − 71 ± 1 ) kHz and the two eigenvalues Q 11 P A S = ( 22.3 ± 0.9 ) kHz, and Q 22 P A S = ( 48.4 ± 0.8 ) kHz. The initially unknown orientation of the mounted crystal, expressed by the orientation of the rotation axis in the orthorhombic crystal frame, was included in the global data fit as well, thus obtaining it from NMR data only.

NMR is a powerful spectroscopic method that can provide information on the structural disorder in solids, complementing scattering and diffraction techniques. The structural disorder in solids can generate a dispersion of local magnetic and electric fields, resulting in a distribution of isotropic chemical shift δiso and quadrupolar coupling CQ. For spin-1/2 nuclei, the NMR linewidth and shape under high-resolution magic-angle spinning (MAS) reflects the distributions of isotropic chemical shift, providing a rich source of disorder information. For quadrupolar nuclei, the second-order quadrupolar broadening remains present even under MAS. In addition to isotropic chemical shift, structural disorder can impact the electric field gradient (EFG) and consequently the quadrupolar NMR parameters. The distributions of quadrupolar coupling and isotropic chemical shift are superimposed with the second-order quadrupolar broadening, but can be potentially characterized by MQMAS (multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning) spectroscopy. We review analyses of NMR lineshapes in 2D DQ–SQ (double-quantum single-quantum) and MQMAS spectroscopies, to provide a guide for more general lineshape analysis. In addition, methods to enhance the spectral resolution and sensitivity for quadrupolar nuclei are discussed, including NMR pulse techniques and the application of high magnetic fields. The role of magnetic field strength and its impact on the strategy of determining optimum NMR methods for disorder characterization are also discussed.

Classical crystallography is based on the translational periodicity of crystals and the analysis of discrete Bragg reflections. However, it is inadequate for determining disordered structures, of which the diffuse scattering is vital to evaluate the disorder level. The correlated disorder of IM-18 presents as zigzag chains arranged in translational periodicity and the double four-ring units randomly distributed along two dimensions. Supercell models regulated by multiple probabilities were systematically built to simulate the single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction patterns in order to ascertain the specific disorder configuration in the single-crystal or polycrystalline samples of IM-18. The presence of defects in the polycrystalline sample was proved by combining 29Si magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR and 1H–1H double quantum MAS NMR spectra, and was quantitatively explored by the simulation method. The method could also elucidate other disordered structures in polycrystalline or single-crystal samples, despite the presence of defects or multidimensional disorder.
