NMR spectroscopy paramagnetic

Besides NQR spectroscopy and the study of nuclear quadrupole interaction effects in broad-line NMR spectroscopy, paramagnetic electron resonance 6°1, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and the study of perturbed angular correlation of y-rays, are suitable methods for studying nuclear quadrupole interactions in solids. Indirect methods are also available for acquiring information about the nuclear quadrupole couplinjg constant from the liquid state (particularly NMR spectroscopy in liquids and in liquid crystals in some cases gives information about this constant). By microwave spectroscopy, the nuclear quadrupole interaction may be studied in the gaseous phase (see the paper by Zeil). We shall deal here only with the aspect of NQR spectroscopy in solids since this method has the broadest applicability to chemical problems in comparison with the other methods mentioned.

Reduction of both nickel porphyrins and thiaporphyrins to Ni1 species has been studied by EPR and 2H NMR spectroscopy.179, 2 58 The Ni1 complex of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-thiaporphyrin has been isolated and characterized. Reaction of this complex with sulfur dioxide produced a paramagnetic five-coordinated Ni1 S02 adduct, while reaction with nitrogenous base ligands (amines, pyridines, imidazoles) yielded five- and six-coordinate complexes. In addition, the crystal structure of Ni1 diphenyldi-p-tolyl-21-thiaporphyrin has been determined. The coordination geometry about the nickel center is essentially square planar with extremely short Ni—N and Ni—S bonds (Ni—N = 2.015(2) A, 2.014(12) A, and 1.910(14) A and Ni—S = 2.143(6) A).2359... 

The (C Me ) Sm(THF) metal vapor product provided the first opportunity ta see if Smdl) complexes (y =3.5—3.8 Ufi) could be characterized by H NMR spectroscopy (24). Fortunately, the paramagnetism doesn t cause large shifting and broadening of the resonances and hence samarium provides the only Ln(III)/Ln(II) couple in which both partners are NMR accessible. Once the existence and identity of (C Mej- SmdHF) was known, a solution synthesis was developed from KC Me and Sml THF) (44). This system is the preferred preparative route and also provides another soluble organosamarium(II) complex, [(C Me )Sm(THF)2(u-I)]2, under appropriate conditions. This is another xample of how solution studies subsequently catch up to the research targets often identified first in metal vapor reactions.

The signals corresponding to the intra-, and extracellular Li+ are separated by the presence of the paramagnetic shift reagent, Dy(P30io)2, the extracellular medium [34].

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and NMR spectroscopy are quite similar in their basic principles and in experimental techniques. They detect different phenomena and thus yield different information. The major use of EPR spectroscopy is in the detection of free radicals which are uniquely characterised by their magnetic moment that arises from the presence of an unpaired electron. Measurement of a magnetic property of a material containing free radicals, like its magnetic susceptibility, provides the concentration of free radicals, but it lacks sensitivity and cannot reveal the structure of the radicals. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy is essentially free from these defects.

The principles of ESR spectroscopy are very similar to NMR spectroscopy but the technique gives information about electron delocalizations rather than molecular structure and it enables the study of electron transfer reactions and the formation of paramagnetic intermediates in such reactions. In some situations, information regarding molecular structure can be obtained when suitable prosthetic groups are part of a molecule, e.g. FMN (flavin mononucleotide) in certain enzymes or the haem group in haemoglobin. Sometimes it is possible to attach suitable groups to molecules to enable their reactions to be monitored by ESR techniques. Such spin labels as they are called, are usually nitroxide radicals of the type... 

In our studies of the TGF-P3 dimer in solution, we detected the direct interaction of several metallic cations, such as Ca ", Na" ", and Mn " with the aid of NMR spectroscopy, hi particular, chemical shift variations in response to changes of Na and Ca ion concentrations and hne broadening due to the interaction with paramagnetic Mn + ions were observed in the heteronu-clear two-dimensional HSQC spectra and mapped onto the spatial... 

Methods for measuring Ti and T2 are discussed in Chapter 5 of reference 21. Suffice it to say here that understanding the method for measuring T2 (the Carr-Purcell pulse sequence or spin-echo method) becomes important for discussing two-dimensional NMR spectra. When spin-spin coupling is present, a modulation of spin echoes is produced, and it is this fact that is important in 2-D NMR spectroscopy. Nuclear relaxation rates and mechanisms become important when discussing the effect of paramagnetic metal centers on NMR spectroscopy.
