Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)01:22

Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)

1.2K
Vicinal or three-bond coupling is commonly observed between protons attached to adjacent carbons. Here, nuclear spin information is primarily transferred via electron spin interactions between adjacent C‑H bond orbitals. This generally favors the antiparallel arrangement of spins, so 3J values are usually positive.
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the...

Spin–Spin Coupling: One-Bond Coupling01:17

Spin–Spin Coupling: One-Bond Coupling

1.1K
Coupling interactions are strongest between NMR-active nuclei bonded to each other, where spin information can be transmitted directly through the pair of bonding electrons. While nuclei polarize their electrons to the opposite spins, the bonding electron pair has opposite spins. Configurations with antiparallel nuclear spins are expected to be lower in energy. When coupling makes antiparallel states more favorable, J is considered to have a positive value. The one-bond coupling constant, 1J,...

Valence Bond Theory

9.8K
Coordination compounds and complexes exhibit different colors, geometries, and magnetic behavior, depending on the metal atom/ion and ligands from which they are composed. In an attempt to explain the bonding and structure of coordination complexes, Linus Pauling proposed the valence bond theory, or VBT, using the concepts of hybridization and the overlapping of the atomic orbitals. According to VBT, the central metal atom or ion (Lewis acid) hybridizes to provide empty orbitals of suitable...

Spin–Spin Coupling Constant: Overview

1.1K
In bromoethane, the three methyl protons are coupled to the two methylene protons that are three bonds away. In accordance with the n+1 rule, the signal from the methyl protons is split into three peaks with 1:2:1 relative intensities. The methylene protons appear as a quartet, with the relative intensities of 1:3:3:1.
Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)01:20

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)

1.2K
Two NMR-active nuclei bonded to a central atom can be involved in geminal or two-bond coupling. Geminal coupling is commonly seen between diastereotopic protons in chiral molecules and unsymmetrical alkenes, among others.
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

Trends in Lattice Energy: Ion Size and Charge

25.2K
An ionic compound is stable because of the electrostatic attraction between its positive and negative ions. The lattice energy of a compound is a measure of the strength of this attraction. The lattice energy (ΔHlattice) of an ionic compound is defined as the energy required to separate one mole of the solid into its component gaseous ions. For the ionic solid sodium chloride, the lattice energy is the enthalpy change of the process:

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Solid State Chemistry

Background:

  • EuTiO3 (ETO) is a cubic perovskite oxide of significant research interest.
  • Known properties include potential multiferroicity, magnetism above 5.5 K, and structural instability at 282 K.
  • Strong spin-lattice coupling and potential magneto-electric optic applications are also noted.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate novel structural phase transitions in EuTiO3 below 210 K.
  • To question the assumed tetragonal symmetry of EuTiO3 below its structural transition temperature (Ts).
  • To explore the underlying mechanisms driving these observed structural changes.

Main Methods:

  • Birefringence measurements to detect subtle structural changes.
  • X-ray diffraction (XRD) to analyze crystal structure and symmetry.
  • Experimental conditions were maintained without external magnetic fields.

Main Results:

  • A previously unobserved structural phase transition occurs in EuTiO3 below 210 K.
  • Tiny deviations from true tetragonal symmetry were detected below Ts (282 K).
  • These deviations suggest the assumed tetragonal structure may be inaccurate.

Conclusions:

  • EuTiO3 undergoes a structural phase transition below 210 K, independent of magnetic fields.
  • The crystal structure below Ts deviates slightly from ideal tetragonal symmetry.
  • Competition in second nearest neighbor spin-spin interactions, modulated by lattice dynamics, is proposed as the origin of these phenomena.
