NMR spectral evidence for and analysis of the origin of high-order quadrupole-induced effects for I = 5/2w

Solid-state 185/187 Re NMR spectral evidence for the origin of high-order quadrupole-induced eff ects HOT ARTICLE Dolnik et al. Locking of Turing patterns in the chlorine dioxide–iodine–malonic acid reaction Definitive solid-state 185/187 Re NMR spectral evidence for and analysis of the origin of high-order quadrupole-induced effects for I = 5/2w Rhenium-185/187 solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) experiments using NaReO 4 and NH 4 ReO 4 powders provide unambiguous evidence for the existence of high-order quadrupole-induced effects (HOQIE) in SSNMR spectra. Fine structure, not predicted by second-order perturbation theory, has been observed in the 185/187 Re SSNMR spectrum of NaReO 4 at 11.75 T, where the ratio of the Larmor frequency (n 0) to the quadrupole frequency (n Q) is B2.6. This is the first experimental observation that under static conditions, HOQIE can directly manifest in SSNMR powder patterns as additional fine structure. Using NMR simulation software which includes the quadrupole interaction (QI) exactly, extremely large 185/187 Re nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (C Q) are accurately determined. QI parameters are confirmed independently using solid-state 185/187 Re nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR). We explain the spectral origin of the HOQIE and provide general guidelines that may be used to assess when HOQIE may impact the interpretation of the SSNMR powder pattern of any spin-5/2 nucleus in a large, axially symmetric electric field gradient (EFG). We also quantify the errors incurred when modeling SSNMR spectra for any spin-5/2 nucleus within an axial EFG using second-order perturbation theory. Lastly, we measure rhenium chemical shifts in the solid state for the first time.
