Abstract
The 19F chemical shift is a sensitive NMR probe of structure and electronic environment in organic and biological molecules. In this report, we examine chemical shift parameters of 4F-, 5F-, 6F-, and 7F-substituted crystalline tryptophan by magic angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR spectroscopy and density functional theory. Significant narrowing of the 19F lines was observed under fast MAS conditions, at spinning frequencies above 50 kHz. The parameters characterizing the 19F chemical shift tensor are sensitive to the position of the fluorine in the aromatic ring and, to a lesser extent, the chirality of the molecule. Accurate calculations of 19F magnetic shielding tensors require the PBE0 functional with a 50% admixture of a Hartree-Fock exchange term, as well as taking account of the local crystal symmetry. The methodology developed will be beneficial for 19F-based MAS NMR structural analysis of proteins and protein assemblies.

Abstract
The structural characterization of different kinds of zigzag and chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been investigated theoretically using (19)F NMR spectroscopy. The chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) tensor is computed at different levels of theory for the (19)F nuclei in different forms of functionalized fluorinated carbon nanotubes (CNT). A set of fluorine CSA parameters comprising the span, skew, and isotropic chemical shift is computed for each form of the fluoronanotubes and multidimensional CSA parameter correlation maps are constructed. We show that these correlations are able to clearly distinguish between the chiral and zigzag forms of fluorinated carbon nanotubes (F-SWNTs). Implications for solid-state and liquid-state NMR experiments are discussed.
