The temperature variations of 1H NMR spin-lattice relaxation times and 1H NMR second moments in n-C4H9NH3I and its N-deuterated analog were studied in a wide range of temperatures above 77 K. DTA experiments revealed a solid-solid phase transition between room and low temperature phases taking place at 268 K for the former salt and at 267 K for the latter. For rapidly cooled ( ≳ 2 Kmin-1 ) samples, another phase transition possibly between substable low temperature phases was found at ca. 210 K for the former and ca. 205 K for the latter. The transition entropy observed at 268 K was 33 J K-1 mol-1. This is much larger than the melting entropy (16 J K-1 mol-1), suggesting that butylammonium ions obtain their motional freedom mostly at the phase transition. In the low temperature phase of n-C4H9NH3I, the CH3 and NH3+ groups perform C3 reorientation about their respective symmetry axes with the activation energies 10.4 and 26.8kJmol-1, respectively. The rapidly cooled sample showed two T1 components attributable to the stable and substable low temperature phases indicating the coexistence of both phases. In the room temperature phase, the cations rotate rapidly about their long axes and partly conformational disorder of the alkyl chains takes place. The mechanism of the phase transitions is discussed.

Abstract Differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and measurements of the 1H spin-lattice relaxation times and second moments of 1H-NMR absorptions were performed on methylammonium tetrachlorozincate (II) crystals over a wide temperature range. A solid-solid phase transition was located at 477 K. From the 1H-NMR experiments it was found that the cations undergo overall reorientation as well as three dimensional translational self-diffusion in the high-temperature phase. In the low-temperature phase, a 120° reorientational motion of the CH3 and NH3+ groups of the cation about its C-N bond axis was detected. The parameters for the motional modes of the cations in the crystal were evaluated from the analysis of the 1H-NMR experimental results.

The phase transition behaviour of cycloheptene has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, proton spin-lattice relaxation, and vibrational spectroscopy (infrared and Raman). Two solid–solid phase transitions were observed, at 154 and 210 K, with transition enthalpies and entropies of 5.28 and 0.71 kJ mol−1 and 34.3 and 3.4 JK−1, respectively. Cycloheptene melted at 217 K with an entropy of melting of 4.5 JK−1 mol−1. The bands in the vibrational spectra of the two high temperature phases were broad and featureless, characteristic of highly disordered phases. The presence of other conformers, in addition to the chair form, was indicated from bands in the spectra. The ring inversion mode was highly phase dependent and exhibited soft mode type behaviour prior to the transition from the low temperature phase. The low frequency Raman spectra (external modes) of these phases indicated that the molecules are undergoing isotropic reorientation. In the low temperature phase, the vibrational bands were narrow; the splitting of the fundamentals into two components and the presence of nine external modes are consistent with unit cell symmetry of either C2 or Cs with two molecules per primitive unit cell. A glassy state can be produced from the intermediate phase and the vibrational spectra were very similar to those of the high temperature phases, indicating that static disorder was present. The barriers to reorientation, as obtained from proton spin-lattice relaxation measurements, are 9.0 kJ mol−1 in both the high temperature phases, and 15.4 kJ mol−1 in the low temperature, ordered phase. Keywords: cycloheptene, phase transition, differential scanning calorimetry, NMR, vibrational spectroscopy.

AbstractUsing 2H NMR, the dynamics of the cation in phenethylammonium bromide were studied in the two solid phases. Line shape and spin-lattice relaxation rate studies of the ammonium headgroups and the adajacent methylene groups indicate the onset of alkyl-chain motion prior to the first order phase transition. In the low-temperature phase the line shape and the spin-lattice relaxation rates of the -ND3 groups are consistent with C3 jumps and an activation energy of 54±4 kJ mol-1. However, in the high-temperature phase the spin-lattice relaxation studies indicate the presence of small-angle diffusion of the -ND3 groups around the C3 symmetry axis. In this phase the -CD2- groups show line shapes typical of large-amplitude two-site jumps occurring at a rate > 107 s-1 . In the low-temperature phase, at temperatures below 295 K, the -CD2- 2H NMR line shapes indicate that the C - D bonds are essentially static

AbstractMeasurements of the 1H spin-lattice relaxation time T1, the linewidth parameter T*2the second moment of 1H NMR absorption, differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry were performed on methylammonium tetrabromozincate(II) crystals from 58 to above 500 K. A solid-solid phase transition was located at 456 K. In the room temperature phase, 120° reorientational jumps of CH3 and NH3+ groups in the cation about its C -N bond axis were detected. In the high-temperature phase, the cations undergo overall reorientation as well as translational self-diffusion. The activation energy for the cationic self-diffusion was evaluated to be 18 kJ mol-1 .

Abstract The 1H spin-lattice relaxation time, linewidth, second moment of 1H NMR absorption, differen-tial thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry of methylammonium tetrabromocado-mate(II) crystals were studied. A new solid phase was found between 482 K and the melting point (493 K). The 1H NMR measurements revealed the presence of overall reorientation of methyl-ammonium cations in this phase. In the room temperature phase, 120° reorientational jumps of the CH3 and NH3+ groups were detected.

Large-amplitude solid phase molecular motion has been detected in the macrocyclic ring of the title crown either via 13C CPMAS NMR. To study the details of the dynamic processes, two selectively deuterated d4 derivatives have been prepared and examined via 2H NMR as a function of temperature. A phase change occurring around 277 K has been verified by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and a model for the motional processes has been developed involving equivalent two-site flips of the CD2 groups. The amplitude of the CD2 motions apparently decreases the closer the group is to the aromatic ring. The influence of KNCS complexation on the 13C CPMAS spectrum and on 13C spin lattice relaxation times in solution has been explored. Key words: macrocyclic ethers, solid phase dynamics.

Abstract Proton and fluorine NMR second moments and spin-lattice relaxation times for polycrystalline tetraethyl-and tetrapropylammonium tetrafluoroborates have been measured over a wide range of temperatures. Solid-solid phase transitions were found for both compounds and confirmed by DSC. Methyl group C3 reorientation followed by more complex cation motions was evidenced in the low temperature phases. Overall cation reorientation characterises the high temperature phases of both compounds. Isotropic anion reorientation was found in both salts in both phases.

Abstract Proton and fluorine NMR linewidths, second moments, and spin-lattice relaxation times of polycrystalline [C(NH2)3]2SbF5 and C(NH2)3SbF6 were studied in a wide temperature range. For the pentafluoroantimonate, C3-reorientation of the guanidinium cation and C4-reorientation of the SbF5 anion were revealed and their activation parameters determined. The dynamical inequivalence of the two guanidinium cations was evidenced. For the hexafluoroantimonate, two solid-solid phase transitions were found. In the low temperature phase the guanidinium cation undergoes C3 reorien­ tation while the SbF6 anion reorients isotropically. The respective activation parameters were derived. At high temperatures new ionic plastic phases were evidenced.

Abstract Proton and fluorine NMR second moments and spin-lattice relaxation times of polycrystalline guanidinium hexafluorozirconate and its deuterated analogue were studied in laboratory (60 MHz) and rotating (H1 = 20 G) frames over a wide range of temperature. An analysis of the experimental results enabled us to reveal a dynamical inequivalence of two crystallographically independent cations and an unexpected high mobility of nonspherical anion dimers. A comparison of the ions dynamics in 2:1 complex studied with the guanidinium 1:1 and 3:1 complexes has shown a significant contribution of the hydrogen bonds to the potential barriers hindering the anion reorientations. At low temperatures a proton motion in the hydrogen bond and at 400 K a solid-solid phase transition have been discerned.

Carbon-13 N.M.R. spectra of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) have been measured between 407 and 461 K. Proton-decoupled 13C N.M.R. spectra of solid Tris between 407 K and its melting point are relatively sharp (v� < 30 Hz) indicating rapid overall molecular reorientation in this temperature range. It was not possible to detect a 13C N.M.R, signal for Tris below 407 K. The observed 13C N.M.R. spin-lattice relaxation times appear continuous across the solid ↔ liquid phase transition. From the temperature dependence of T1, a rotational activation energy of 51.6 � 6 kJ mol-1 is calculated, which indicates that the molecules must expend considerable energy in reorienting. The N.M.R. results are discussed in relation to previous differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction data which indicate that Tris undergoes a solid ↔ solid transition at 407 K.
