Quadrupole-dipole effects in solid-state, CP-MAS, tin-119 NMR spectra of para-substituted

Abstract:
Solid-state, CP-MAS, 119Sn NMR spectra were measured for a series of para-substituted triaryltin(pentacarbonyl)manganese(I) complexes. All the spectra show an asymmetric sextet due to spin-spin coupling and second-order quadrupolar effects, transmitted by dipolar coupling between the 119Sn and 55Mn nuclei, which are not suppressed by magic-angle rotation. The solid-state 1JMn-Sn spin-spin and nuclear quadrupole coupling constants range from 130 to 250 Hz and -8 to 21 MHz, respectively, and show an inverse linear correlation, which is attributed to the dominance of the Fermi contact contribution to the 1JMn-Sn coupling. The tris(p-methylthiophenyl)tin derivative is an exception, attributed to a difference in crystal structure from the other complexes. The magnitudes of the principal elements of the 119Sn chemical shift tensors were determined and appear to be strongly influenced by the ring torsion angles and the para-substituents of the phenyl rings. Solid-state 119Sn NMR spectroscopy provides a useful method of probing the electronic environment around the tin and manganese nuclei in transition metal complexes. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
