NQR

Of the NMR-active nuclei around tluee-quarters have / > 1 so that the quadnipole interaction can affect their spectra. The quadnipole inter action can be significant relative to the Zeeman splitting. The splitting of the energy levels by the quadnipole interaction alone gives rise to pure nuclear quadnipole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy. This chapter will only deal with the case when the quadnipole interaction can be regarded as simply a perturbation of the Zeeman levels. 

Bismuth Tribromide. Bismuth(III) bromide is a hygroscopic, golden-yeUow, crystalline soHd made up of pyramidal molecules. X-ray analysis has shown that the three bromines are 0.263 0.002 nm from the bismuth and the Br—Bi—Br angles are 100 4°. More recent nqr experiments indicate that the bromines are not equivalent (20). The soHd has a density of 5.72 g/mL and that of the Hquid is 4.572 g/mL at 271.5°C. 

Studies have considered the effect of crystallinity on the performance of CR adhesives (97), on segmental mobiUty as determined by nqr studies (101), on strain induced property changes (102), and on relaxation processes (103). 

The microwave spectrum of isothiazole shows that the molecule is planar, and enables rotational constants and NQR hyperfine coupling constants to be determined (67MI41700>. The total dipole moment was estimated to be 2.4 0.2D, which agrees with dielectric measurements. Asymmetry parameters and NQR coupling constants show small differences between the solid and gaseous states (79ZN(A)220>, and the principal dipole moment axis approximately bisects the S—N and C(4)—C(5) bonds.

The use of the Hammett equation has also been extended to several new types of applications. Since these are not germane to the subject matter of the present chapter, we wiU simply mention work on applications to ethylenic and acetylenic compounds the various applications to physical properties, such as infrared frequencies and intensities, ultraviolet spectra, polarographic half-wave potentials, dipole moments,NMR and NQR spectra,and solubility data and applications to preparative data and biological activity.

NQR spectra of the two isomers give resonances at different frequencies and also show that the Pt—Cl bond is more ionic in the ds-isomer, while there are significant differences in both the absorption and MCD spectra [79]. 

Similar isomerizations have been noted for a number of complexes. As with metal nitrosyls, IR spectra can be used to indicate the manner of bonding, but there is an overlap region around 2080-2100 cm-1 where i/(C-N) is found for both N- and S-bonded thiocyanates (additionally, S-bonded thiocyanates usually give a much sharper i (C-N) band). 14N NQR has been shown to be a reliable discriminator, but X-ray diffraction is ultimately the most reliable method. 

Platinum ammine complexes have been a fertile area for studying transinfluence. Table 3.21 lists data for a range of ammines showing how /(195Pt-15N) depends upon the trans-atom [153]. (A further selection of data can be found in R.V. Parish, NMR, NQR, EPR and Mossbauer Spectroscopy in Inorganic Chemistry, Ellis-Horwood, Chichester, 1991, pp. 76, 87.) Possibly the most detailed study (of complexes of tribenzylphosphine) examined over a hundred neutral and cationic complexes [154] (Table 3.22).
