Shift Measurements

Chemical Shift Measurements. Under slow-exchange conditions, the ionization ratio cannot be measured. In fact, one of the major advantages of the superacidic media is the ease with which weak bases can be fully protonated and directly observed by NMR. Because it is known that the protonation rates are practically diffusion-controlled ( 409 liter mol-1 s-1), under these conditions ( 10 2 s 1) the indicator is totally in the acidic form described by the NMR spectmm and no variable is available to measure the ionization ratio. 

Compared with spectrophotometry, the NMR method has a number of advantages (i) The procedure is very rapid, and it can be used by observing the variation of chemical shifts of diverse nuclei such as 3H, 13C, 19F, and nO. (ii) It is insensitive to colored impurities and slight decomposition of the indicator, (iii) In principle, it can be used over the whole range of known acidity. The medium effect, which may be important in 1H NMR, becomes negligible in the case of 13C NMR spectroscopy. The method can be used with a wide variety of weak bases having a lone-pair containing heteroatoms as well as simple aromatic hydrocarbons. 

However, because the measurement of the ionization ratio requires the presence of a minimum of 5% of one of the forms of the indicator, it necessitates the availability of a family of structurally similar compounds of varying basicity to cover a large domain of acidity. This condition has been met by Sommer and co-workers22,43 using the para-methoxybenzhydryl cations as useful indicators for the strongest superacids. 

The basicity of these indicators can be controlled by suitable substitution of the phenyl rings effecting ionization of the corresponding benzydrols [Eq. (1.29)]. The protonation equilibria [Eq. (1.30)] is measurable by 1H or 13C NMR spectroscopy.

The aromatic shifts that are induced by 5.1c, 5.If and S.lg on the H-NMR spectrum of SDS, CTAB and Zn(DS)2 have been determined. Zn(DS)2 is used as a model system for Cu(DS)2, which is paramagnetic. The cjkcs and counterion binding for Cu(DS)2 and Zn(DS)2 are similar and it has been demonstrated in Chapter 2 that Zn(II) ions are also capable of coordinating to 5.1, albeit somewhat less efficiently than copper ions. Figure 5.7 shows the results of the shift measurements. For comparison purposes also the data for chalcone (5.4) have been added. This compound has almost no tendency to coordinate to transition-metal ions in aqueous solutions. From Figure 5.7 a number of conclusions can be drawn. (1) The shifts induced by 5.1c on the NMR signals of SDS and CTAB... 

The superpositioning of experimental and theoretical curves to evaluate a characteristic time is reminiscent of the time-tefnperature superpositioning described in Sec. 4.10. This parallel is even more apparent if the theoretical curve is drawn on a logarithmic scale, in which case the distance by which the curve has to be shifted measures log r. Note that the limiting values of the ordinate in Fig. 6.6 correspond to the limits described in Eqs. (6.46) and (6.47). Because this method effectively averages over both the buildup and the decay phases of radical concentration, it affords an experimentally less demanding method for the determination of r than alternative methods which utilize either the buildup or the decay portions of the non-stationary-state free-radical concentration.

In NMR spectroscopy, however, the chemical shift measurement we make takes place in an environment of our making that is both entirely artificial and arbitrary (i.e., the magnet ). For this reason, it is essential to reference our measurements to a known standard so that we can all speak the same language, no matter what make or frequency of spectrometer we use.

The most detailed NMR study of impurity band formation in a semiconductor in the intermediate regime involved 31P and 29 Si 7). line width and shift measurements at 8 T from 100-500 K for Si samples doped with P at levels between 4 x 1018 cm 3 and 8 x 1019 cm 3 [189], and an alternate simplified interpretation of these results in terms of an extended Korringa relation [185]. While the results and interpretation are too involved to discuss here, the important conclusion was that the conventional picture of P-doped Si at 300 K consisting of fully-ionized donors and carriers confined to extended conduction band states is inadequate. Instead, a complex of impurity bands survives in some form to doping levels as high as 1019 cm 3. A related example of an impurity NMR study of impurity bands is discussed in Sect. 3.8 for Ga-doped ZnO. 

Feed gases were controlled by Brooks 5850 series E mass flow controllers. Iron carbonyl traps consisting of lead oxide on alumina (Calsicat) were placed on the CO gas line. All gas lines were filtered with Supelco 02/moisture traps. Catalysts were activated with H2 N2 (100 cm3/min 130 cm3/min) at 300°C, purged in N2 (130 cm3/min), and cooled to a temperature of interest in N2 to obtain background scans. For CO adsorption measurements, CO N2 (3.75 cm3/min 130 cm3/min) was flowed at 300°C and then cooled to the temperature of interest. Following CO adsorption experiments, steady-state water-gas shift measurements were carried out at either 225 or 185°C, using C0 H20 N2 (3.75 cm3/min 62.5 cm3/min 67.5 cm3/min) or C0 H20 H2 (same ratio).

One study (DeLeo et al., 1988 Fowler et al., 1989) has found that neutral H at the B site in Si has a tendency to preferentially bind to one of the two Si neighbors, leading to an asymmetric configuration, with Si—H distances of 1.48 A and 1.77 A respectively. This tendency was interpreted in terms of a pseudo-Jahn-Teller distortion. However, the potential barrier that leads to the asymmetric position is so low (< 0.2 eV) that it can readily be surmounted by zero-point motion of the proton. Experimental observation of such an asymmetry is therefore unlikely, except maybe through an isotope shift measurement in an infrared experiment (DeLeo et al., 1988). None of the other theoretical approaches has produced this type of asymmetry.

Have you wondered about those funny curves drawn over the NMR peaks They re electronic integrations and they can tell you how many protons there are at each chemical shift. Measure the distances between the horizontal lines just before and just after each group. With a cheap plastic ruler I get 52 mm for the benzene ring protons, 21 mm for the —CH2— protons, and about 30 mm for the —CH3 protons. Now you divide all the values by the smallest one. Well, 21 mm is the smallest, and without a calculator I get 2.47 1 1.43. Not even close. And how do you get that 0.47 or 0.43 proton Try for the simplest whole number ratio. Multiply everything by 2, and you ll have 4.94 2 2.86. This is very close to 5 2 3, the actual number of protons in ethylbenzene. Use other whole numbers the results are not as good and you can t justify the splitting pattern—3 split BY 2 and 2 split BY 3—with other ratios. Don t use each piece of information in a vacuum. 

Structure elucidation of three related derivatives of ring system 2 ( temozolomide 9a, mitozolomide 9b, and the related acid derivative 9c) has been carried out by 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy <1995J(P1)249> (Scheme 2). The 1SN NMR chemical shifts measured in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions are listed in Table 1. For compound 9a, Lowdin charges of the nitrogen atoms have also been calculated and found to have a linear relationship with the experimentally determined chemical shifts of these atoms. The NMR data of 9a have been correlated with those of a series of heterocycles of related structure by the same team <2002MRC300>.
