Similarity Approach to Chemical Reactivity. Spin Recoupling in Chemical Reactions
نویسنده
چکیده
The idea of similarity index was extended to the investigation of the effect of spin recoupling in chemical reactions. The approach was applied at the semiempirical AM1 level to a series of selected pericyclic reactions involving model examples of electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions and valence isomerizations. Both allowed and forbidden reaction mechanisms were analyzed in each case with the aim to assess the role of spin recoupling in discriminating between these two process types.

Heteronuclear recoupling in solid-state magic-angle-spinning NMR via overtone irradiation.
A heteronuclear dipolar recoupling scheme applicable to I-S spin pairs undergoing magic-angle-spinning (MAS) is introduced, based on the overtone irradiation of one of the coupled nuclei. It is shown that when I is a quadrupole, for instance (14)N, irradiating this spin at a multiple of its Larmor frequency prevents the formation of MAS dipolar echoes. The ensuing S-spin signal dephasing is sig...

متن کاملA study of homonuclear dipolar recoupling pulse sequences in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance.
Dipolar recoupling pulse sequences are of great importance in magic angle spinning solid-state NMR. Recoupling sequences are used for excitation of double-quantum coherence, which, in turn, is employed in experiments to estimate internuclear distances and molecular torsion angles. Much effort is spent on the design of recoupling sequences that are able to produce double-quantum coherence with h...

The average Hamiltonian theory (AHT) of several classes of symmetry-based radio-frequency pulse sequences is developed to second order, allowing quantitative analyses of a wide range of recoupling and decoupling applications in magic-angle-spinning solid state nuclear magnetic resonance. General closed analytical expressions are presented for a cross term between any two interactions recoupled ...
