Two-dimensional NMR signals obtained using an asymmetric π-pulse-inserted quadrupole-echo (APIQE) sequence yielded separated spectra through the skew operation of an affine transform (AT) before a Fourier transform. Modified APIQE sequences that acquire whole echo signals were fabricated, and separated PQ and PS spectra were obtained by applying a combination of AT, such as rotation and skew operations, to the signal data. These methods were demonstrated for diamagnetic Zn(CD3CO2)2⋅2H2O and paramagnetic Nd(CD3CO2)3⋅1.5H2O. Further, the dynamics of the D2O molecule and [Co(D2O)6]2+ ion in paramagnetic CoSiF6⋅6D2O was analyzed based on the temperature dependence of the separated spectra.

From the simulation of 2 H N M R spectra, the jump rate of 180° flips of the water molecules (k) , the nuclear quadrupole interaction parameters ( e 2 Q q / h , 77) and the electron-nucleon dipolar interaction parameter (I^D) were obtained. By measuring H T\, k was estimated in the temperature range where the spectrum is insensitive to the motion of the water molecules.

In the present paper, we investigated the local structure of TiCl 4 adsorbed onto the surface of MgCl 2 by 47,49 Ti solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra at 21.8 T along with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The magic-angle-spinning NMR spectrum of the TiCl 4 /MgCl 2 adduct sample prepared by 20 h of milling, which exhibited broadened and shifted peaks compared to that of the sample without milling, was simulated by a Czjzek model considering the distribution of quadrupole interaction parameters. The electric field gradient and chemical shielding tensors of 49 Ti were obtained via DFT calculations for model molecules of TiCl 4 , 2TiCl 4 , and Ti 2 Cl 8 adsorbed onto the (110), (104), and (104)-step defect surfaces of MgCl 2. By comparing the obtained NMR parameters, the 47,49 Ti NMR spectrum of the milled sample was assigned to TiCl 4 adsorbed onto the (104) surface of MgCl 2 , which may not be a principal component of adsorption.

Magic-angle-spinning (MAS) and multiple-quantum MAS NMR experiments were performed at moderate (9.4 T) and ultrahigh magnetic fields (21.6 T). The NMR parameters for quadrupole and isotropic chemical shift interactions were estimated by simulation of the NMR spectra and from relativistic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Four Na ions incorporated into the framework were found to occupy four distinct sites with different populations. The DFT calculation showed that d 1 electrons with effectively one up-spin caused by strong antiferromagnetic interactions were delocalized over the 12 V ions.

At 283 K, (e2Qq/h,η) of 2H, averaged by fast 180° flip of water molecules, were obtained as (128 kHz, 0.72), (123 kHz, 0.82) and (106 kHz, 0.80), corresponding to three unequal water molecules in [Mg(H2O)6]2+. At 338 K, (e2Qq/h,η) averaged further by the fast reorientation of [Mg(H2O)6]2+ around the 3 axis was obtained as (57 kHz, 0.01). In phase II, the jumping rate for the reorientation ( ) and the amplitude of the rotational modulation (Δ ) of [Mg(H2O)6]2+ about the C3 axis were obtained from the simulation of 2H NMR spectra. The jumping rate at infinite temperature and the activation energy were estimated from the temperature dependence of k as k0 = 9 1017 s-1 and a = 78 kJmol-1, respectively. The II-III phase transition was found to be related with the freeze of this motion

The spectra and T-1 of NMR in solids were measured for [M(H2O)(6)] [AB(6)] crystals to investigate the static and dynamic structure of H2O and [M(H2O)(6)](2+) as well as the dynamics of the electron spin in the paramagnetic M2+ ion. The physical properties of [M(H2O)(6)] [AB(6)] were found to be as follows: (1) The spin-lattice relaxations of the electron spin of M2+ in [M(H2O)(6)] [SiF6] (M2+ = Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+) are dominated by the Orbach process, the Orbach process, and the Raman process, respectively. The spin-lattice relaxation of the electron spin Of Cu2+ in [Cu (H2O)(6)] [PtCl6] is caused by jumping between the Jahn-Teller configurations. (2) In [Cu(H2O)(6)] [PtCl6], H2O and [Cu(H2O)(6)](2+) undergo 180degrees flips and jumping between the different Jahn-Teller configurations, respectively. A weakeni...

From the simulation of 2H NMR spectra, the jump rate of 180° flips of the water molecules (k), the nuclear quadrupole interaction parameters (e2Qq/h, ƞ) and the electron-nucleon dipolar interaction parameter (vD) were obtained. By measuring 2H T1, k was estimated in the temperature range where the spectrum is insensitive to the motion of the water molecules. Above the phase transition temperature, the pre-exponential factor k0 = 8 x1011 s-1 and the activation energy Ea = 15 kJmol-1 for 180° flips of the water molecules were obtained from the spectral simulation and T1. 195Pt NMR spectra showed an axially symmetric and unsymmetric powder pattern of the chemical shift anisotropy at the high and low temperature phase, respectively.

The variation of the spectrum above room temperature can be explained by the reorientation of [Co(H2O)6]2+ about the C3 axis. The activation energy Ea and the jumping rate at infinite temperature K0 for the three site jump of [Co(H2O)6]2+ were obtained as 82 kJmol-1 and 2x 1017s-1 from the spectral simulation. Below room temperature, the spectral line shape was dominated by the 180° flip of the water molecule. The minimum of T1 caused by the 180° flip of the water molecule was observed at ca. 260 K. The jumping rate of the 180° flip of the water molecule was estimated from the 2H NMR T1 and the spectral simulation. Ea = 38 kJmol-1 and K0 = 6x 1015s-1 for the 180° flip of the water molecule were obtained from T1.

This method is based on a quadrupole-echo sequence inserted with 180° pulses, where the pulse spacings are incremented asymmetrically so that the (2)H magnetization evolves only by the quadrupole interaction in the indirect dimension. It is shown that when the sequence is carried out with strong radio-frequency pulses, the spectrum projected to the indirect dimension can be simulated using the quadrupole-echo sequence without considering the effect of the paramagnetic shift. The method was also used to investigate molecular dynamics by measurement and simulation of the temperature dependence of the (2)H NMR spectra.

The polyoxomolybdates studied are the basic ε-Keggin crystals of [Me3NH]6[H2Mo12O28(OH)12{MoO3}4] · 2H2O (1), the crystals suggested to have a disordered {ε-Mo12} core of [PMo12O36(OH)4{La(H2O)2.75Cl1.25}4]·27H2O (2), and the paramagnetic Keggin crystals of [H2Mo12O30(OH)10{Ni(H2O)3}4] · 14H2O (3). The spectra of (95)Mo static NMR of these samples were measured under moderate (9.4 and 11.7 T) and ultrahigh magnetic fields (21.8 T). From spectral simulation and quantum chemical calculation, the NMR parameters of the chemical shift and quadrupole interactions for (95)Mo were estimated. By the analysis based on the result for 1, it was found for 2 that although the {ε-Mo12} core is disordered, the eight d(1) electrons in it are not completely localized on four Mo-Mo bonds. Furthermore, it was shown for 3 that the d(1) electrons are localized to make the Mo-Mo bonds, while the unpaired electrons are also almost localized on the paramagnetic Ni(II) ions.

The system was successfully applied to enhance 31 P nuclear spin polarization in InP doped with Fe, and the enhancement of the 31 P NMR signal by more than two orders of magnitude was achieved. We also observed the strong dependences of the enhancement on the helicity and the photon energy of incident light. The most effective enhancement was achieved with the helicity σ + and photon energy smaller than the bandgap by 10 ∼ 15 meV.

The 31 P and 115 In signal enhancements show large σ ± asymmetries and anomalous oscillations as a function of Ep. We find that (i) the oscillation period as a function of Ep is similar for 31 P and 115 In and almost field independent in spite of significant reduction of the enhancement in higher fields. (ii) A characteristic time for buildup of the 31 P polarization under the light exposure shows strong Ep-dependence, but is almost independent of σ ±. (iii) The buildup times for 31 P and 115 In are of the same order (10 3 s), although the spin-lattice relaxation times (T1) are different by more than three orders of magnitude between them. The results are discussed in terms of (1) discrete energy spectra due to donor-acceptor pairs (DAPs) in compensated semiconductors, and (2) interplay between 31 P and dipolar ordered indium nuclei, which are optically induced.

Time dependence of the magnetic field at 23.5 T shows the presence of a fast and a slow fluctuation. The frequency of the fast fluctuation is 50 Hz and its amplitude is about 20 G. The slower fluctuation has a period of about 40 s and an amplitude of about 30 G. The amplitude of these fluctuations provides the lower limit of the NMR line width for the NMR measurements with this magnet system.

The isotropic contribution of the electron-coupled nuclear spin–spin coupling of neighbouring 113,115In–31P in the InP semiconductors is obtained as |J|=225±10Hz. We find no dependence of the J value on the carrier density in the range of 107–1015cm−3.

The linewidth of the static NMR spectrum obtained by cross polarization (CP) of 115In \to 31P with 115In decoupling was explained by the lattice sum of 31P-31P dipolar couplings. On the other

Fourier-transformed (FT) spectrum at a constant magnetic field was obtained by summing a set of FT spectra with shifting the transient frequency. A first-order valence transition was observed at 22 T. Coexistence of the valence-fluctuating phase and the field-induced phase was confirmed. It was found that the proportion of the field-induced phase continues to increase even at 30 T. The effect of 4 f-electron spin correlations in the field-induced phase on the spin-spin relaxation time T2 was discussed.

The obtained 2H NMR spectra were simulated by considering the quadrupole interaction and paramagnetic shift. The variation of the spectra measured in phase III was explained by the 180° flip of water molecules. The activation energy Ea and the jumping rate at infinite temperature k0 for the 180° flip of H2O were obtained as 35 kJ mol-1 and 4×1014 s-1, respectively. The spectral change in phases I and II was ascribed to the reorientation of [Mn(H2O)6]2+ around the C3 axis where the Ea and k0 values were estimated as 45 kJ mol-1 and 1×1013 s-1, respectively. From the almost temperature independent and short T1 value, the correlation time for electron-spin flip-flops, taue, and the exchange coupling constant J were obtained as 3.0×10-10 s and 2.9×10-3 cm-1, respectively. The II III phase transition can be caused by the onset of the jumping motion of [Mn(H2O)6]2+ around the C3 axis.
