[source] Quantitative solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy of organic matter fractions in lowland rice soilsEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SOIL SCIENCE, Issue 2 2004R. J. Smernik Summary Spin counting on solid-state 13C cross-polarization (CP) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of two humic fractions isolated from tropical lowland soils showed that only 32,81% of potential 13C NMR signal was detected. The observability of 13C NMR signal (Cobs) was higher in the mobile humic acid (MHA) than in the calcium humate (CaHA) fraction, and increased with increasing intensity of irrigated rice cropping. NMR observability appeared to be related to the nature of the organic carbon, with phenol- and methoxyl-rich samples having the higher values of Cobs. The Bloch decay (BD) technique provided more quantitatively reliable 13C NMR spectra, as evidenced by values of Cobs in the range 91,100% for seven of the eight humic fractions studied. The BD spectra contained considerably more aryl and carbonyl signal, and less O,alkyl and alkyl signal, with the greatest differences between CP and BD spectra observed for the samples with low Cobs(CP). The causes of low CP observability were investigated using the spectral editing technique RESTORE ( REstoration of Spectra via TCH and T One Rho (T1,H) Editing). Rapid T1,H relaxation was found to be primarily responsible for the under-representation of carbonyl carbon, whereas inefficient cross-polarization was primarily responsible for the under-representation of aryl carbon in CP spectra. Proton NMR relaxation rates T1H and T1,H were found to correlate with other NMR properties and also with cropping management. Non-uniform rates of T1H relaxation in two of the CaHA fractions enabled the generation of proton spin relaxation editing subspectra. [source] Theoretical investigation on multinuclear NMR chemical shifts of some tris(trifluoromethyl)boron complexesMAGNETIC RESONANCE IN CHEMISTRY, Issue 8 2009Jun Zhang Abstract Tris(trifluoromethyl)boron complexes have unusual properties and may find applications in many fields of chemistry, biology, and physics. To gain insight into their NMR properties, the isotropic 11B, 13C, and 19F NMR chemical shifts of a series of tris(trifluoromethyl)boron complexes were systematically studied using the gauge-included atomic orbitals (GIAO) method at the levels of B3LYP/6-31 + G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p). Solvent effects were taken into account by polarizable continuum models (PCM). The calculated results were compared with the experimental values. The reason that the structurally inequivalent fluorine atoms in a specific species give a same chemical shift in experimental measurements is attributed to the fast rotation of CF3 group around the BC(F3) bond because of the low energy barrier. The calculated 11B, 13C(F3), and 19F chemical shifts are in good agreement with the experimental measurements, while the deviations of calculated 13C(X, X = O, N) chemical shifts are slightly large. For the latter, the average absolute deviations of the results from B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p) are smaller than those from B3LYP/6-31 + G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G*, and the inclusion of PCM reduces the deviation values. The calculated 19F and 11B chemical shieldings of (CF3)3BCO are greatly dependent on the optimized structures, while the influence of structural parameters on the calculated 13C chemical shieldings is minor.

Tozer Abstract Quantitative analysis of magnetization transfer images has the potential to allow a more thorough characterization of the protons, both bound and free, in a tissue by extracting a number of parameters relating to the NMR properties of the protons and their local environment. This work develops previously presented techniques to produce estimates of parameters such as the bound proton fraction, f, and the transverse relaxation time of the bound pool, T2B, for the whole brain in a clinically acceptable imaging time. This is achieved by limiting the number of data collected (typically to 10); to collect 28 5-mm slices with a reconstructed resolution of 0.94 × 0.94 mm. The protocol takes 82 sec per data point. The fitting technique is assessed against previous work and for fitting failures. Maps and analysis are presented from a group of seven controls and 20 multiple sclerosis patients. The maps show that the parameters are sensitive to tissue-specific differences and can detect pathological change within lesions. Statistically significant differences in parameters such as T2B and f are seen between normal-appearing white matter, multiple sclerosis lesions, and control white matter. Whole-brain histograms of these parameters are also presented, showing differences between patients and controls. Magn Reson Med 50:83,91, 2003. © 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source] NMR properties of half-Heusler CoVSbPHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (C) - CURRENT TOPICS IN SOLID STATE PHYSICS, Issue 8 2006H. Nishihara Abstract The complex NMR properties of CoVSb are reported. On the basis of band structure calculations the compound is predicted to be a half metallic ferromagnet but magnetisation measurements suggest that the compound is a weak ferromagnet. In zero applied field at 4.2 K, three spin echo signals have been observed with peak frequencies of 30, 63 and 82 MHz, which are tentatively assigned as signals associated with antimony, vanadium and cobalt atoms. The cobalt atoms are suggested to have moments of about 0.8 ,B. In addition three spin echo signals have been observed in swept applied fields at 4.2 K which include signals from non magnetic cobalt and vanadium sites. Thus weak ferromagnetism in CoVSb is concluded to be complex on a microscopic scale with the moment of 0.18 ,B per formula unit, obtained from static magnetic measurements, being the average moment of magnetic and nonmagnetic sites of cobalt and vanadium atoms.

Leggett Prof. Abstract The element helium comes in two (stable) forms,4He and3He; at low temperatures and pressures both form liquids rather than solids. The liquid phase of the common isotope,4He, was realized nearly a century ago, and since 1938 has been known to show, at temperatures below about 2 K, the property of superfluidity,the ability to flow through the narrowest capillaries without apparent friction. The light isotope,3He, is believed to be of quite a different nature; however,because of its similarity to the electrons in metals, which at low temperatures sometimes form "Cooper pairs" and thereby become superconducting, theorists in the 1960s and early 1970s had speculated that something similar might happen in liquid3He, which would then also show superfluidity though for reasons rather different than4He. In 1972 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments at Cornell University revealed the existence, below 3 millidegrees, if two new phases, one of which displayed extraordinary NMR properties. Anthony Leggett is one of the theorists who succeeded in fitting the experimental properties into the "Cooper-pairing" scenario; in particular, he explained the NMR behavior and predicted further novel NMR phenomena which were subsequently found.
