Abstract
Resolving anion configurations in heteroanionic materials is crucial for understanding and controlling their properties. For anion-disordered oxyfluorides, conventional Bragg diffraction cannot fully resolve the anionic structure, necessitating alternative structure determination methods. We have investigated the anionic structure of anion-disordered cubic (ReO3-type) TiOF2 using X-ray pair distribution function (PDF), 19F MAS NMR analysis, density functional theory (DFT), cluster expansion modeling, and genetic-algorithm structure prediction. Our computational data predict short-range anion ordering in TiOF2, characterized by predominant cis-[O2F4] titanium coordination, resulting in correlated anion disorder at longer ranges. To validate our predictions, we generated partially disordered supercells using genetic-algorithm structure prediction and computed simulated X-ray PDF data and 19F MAS NMR spectra, which we compared directly to experimental data. To construct our simulated 19F NMR spectra, we derived new transformation functions for mapping calculated magnetic shieldings to predicted magnetic chemical shifts in titanium (oxy)fluorides, obtained by fitting DFT-calculated magnetic shieldings to previously published experimental chemical shift data for TiF4. We find good agreement between our simulated and experimental data, which supports our computationally predicted structural model and demonstrates the effectiveness of complementary experimental and computational techniques in resolving anionic structure in anion-disordered oxyfluorides. From additional DFT calculations, we predict that increasing anion disorder makes lithium intercalation more favorable by, on average, up to 2 eV, highlighting the significant effect of variations in short-range order on the intercalation properties of anion-disordered materials.

Abstract
Fluorine incorporation into silicate glasses is important for technical fields as diverse as geophysics, extractive metallurgy, reconstructive dentistry, optical devices, and radioactive waste management. In this study, we explored the structural role of fluorine in alkaline alumino-borosilicate glass, with increasing amounts of fluorine up to 25 mol % F while maintaining the glass composition. Glasses were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), 27Al and 19F magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy, and electron probe microanalysis. Results showed that essentially all F was retained; however, between 12 and 15 mol % F (∼3.6 and 4.5 wt % F), excess fluorine partitions to CaF2 and then NaF and Na-Al-F crystalline phases. Even prior to crystallization, there exist five distinct F sites, three of which evolve into crystalline phases. The two persistent glassy sites likely involve [4]Al-F-Ca/Na local structures. We propose a general understanding of the expected chemical shift of 19F NMR in systems containing Al, Ca, and Na.

Abstract
The structure of MOF3 (M = Nb, Ta) compounds was precisely modeled by combining powder X-ray diffraction, solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and semiempirical dispersion-corrected DFT calculations. It consists of stacked ∞(MOF3) layers along the c⃗ direction formed by heteroleptic corner-connected MX6 (X = O, F) octahedra. 19F NMR resonance assignments and occupancy rates of the anionic crystallographic sites have been revised. The bridging site is shared equally by the anions, and the terminal site is occupied by F only. An O/F correlated disorder is expected since cis-MO2F4 octahedra are favored, resulting in one-dimensional -F-M-O-M- strings along the <100> and <010> directions. Ten different 2 × 2 × 1 supercells per compound, fulfilling these characteristics, were built. Using DFT calculations and the GIPAW approach, the supercells were relaxed and the 19F isotropic chemical shift values were determined. The agreement between the experimental and calculated 19F spectra is excellent for TaOF3. The 1H and 19F experimental NMR spectra revealed that some of the bridging F atoms are substituted by OH groups, especially in NbOF3. New supercells involving OH groups were generated. Remarkably, the best agreement is obtained for the supercells with the composition closest to that estimated from the 19F NMR spectra, i.e., NbOF2.85(OH)0.15.

Abstract
A light-induced linkage NO isomer (MS1) in trans-[Ru(15NO)(py)419F](ClO4)2 is detected and measured for the first time by solid-state MAS NMR. Chemical shift tensors of 15N and 19F, along with nJ(15N-19F) spin-spin couplings and T1 relaxation times of MS1, are compared with the ground state (GS) at temperatures T < 250 K. Isotropic chemical shifts (15N and 19F) are well resolved for two crystallographically independent cations (A and B) [Ru(15NO)(py)419F]2+, allowing to define separately both populations of MS1 isomers and thermal decay rates for two structural sites. The relaxation times T1 of 19F in the case of GS (30/38.6 s for sites A/B) and MS1 (11.6/11.8 s for sites A/B) indicate that both isomers are diamagnetic, which is the first experimental evidence of diamagnetic properties of MS1 in ruthenium nitrosyl. After light irradiation (λ = 420 nm), the NO ligand rotates by nearly 180° from F-Ru-N-O to F-Ru-O-N, whereby the isotropic chemical shifts of δiso(15N) increase and those of δiso(19F) decrease. The nJ(15N-19F) couplings increase from 2J(15N-Ru-19F)GS = 71 Hz to 3J(15N-O-Ru-19F)MS1 = 105 Hz. These results are interpreted on the basis of DFT-CASTEP calculations including Bader-, Mulliken-, and Hirshfeld-charge density distributions of both states.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are potential low-cost filter materials for use in fluoride removal from drinking water, but molecular-scale defluoridation mechanisms are lacking. In this research, we employed 19F solid-state NMR spectroscopy to identify fluoride sorption products on 2:1 MgAl LDH and to reveal the relationship between fluoride sorption and the LDH structure. A set of six 19F NMR peaks centered at -140, -148, -156, -163, -176, and -183 ppm was resolved. Combining quantum chemical calculations based on density function theory (DFT) and 19F{27Al} transfer of populations in double resonance (TRAPDOR) analysis, we could assign the peaks at -140, -148, -156, and -163 ppm to Al-F (F coordinated to surface Al) and those at -176 and -183 ppm to Mg-F (F coordinated to surface Mg only). Interestingly, the spectroscopic data reveal that the formation of Al-F is the predominant mode of F- sorption at low pH, whereas the formation of Mg-F is predominant at high pH (or a higher Mg/Al ratio). This finding supports the fact that the F- uptake of 2:1 MgAl LDH was nearly six times that of activated alumina at pH 9. Overall, we explicitly revealed the different roles of the surface >MgOH and >AlOH sites of LDHs in defluoridation, which explained why the use of classic activated alumina for defluoridation is limited at high pH. The findings from this research may also provide new insights into material screening for potential filters for F- removal under alkaline conditions.

Abstract
Poly(carbon monofluoride), or (CF)n, is a layered fluorinated graphite material consisting of nanosized platelets. Here, we present experimental multidimensional solid-state NMR spectra of (CF)n, supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations of NMR parameters, which overhauls our understanding of structure and bonding in the material by elucidating many ways in which disorder manifests. We observe strong 19F NMR signals conventionally assigned to elongated or "semi-ionic" C-F bonds and find that these signals are in fact due to domains where the framework locally adopts boat-like cyclohexane conformations. We calculate that C-F bonds are weakened but are not elongated by this conformational disorder. Exchange NMR suggests that conformational disorder avoids platelet edges. We also use a new J-resolved NMR method for disordered solids, which provides molecular-level resolution of highly fluorinated edge states. The strings of consecutive difluoromethylene groups at edges are relatively mobile. Topologically distinct edge features, including zigzag edges, crenellated edges, and coves, are resolved in our samples by solid-state NMR. Disorder should be controllable in a manner dependent on synthesis, affording new opportunities for tuning the properties of graphite fluorides.

Abstract
The solution-state 13C NMR spectrum of the endofullerene 3He@C60 displays a doublet structure due to a J-coupling of magnitude 77.5 ± 0.2 mHz at 340 K between the 3He nucleus and a 13C nucleus of the enclosing carbon surface. The J-coupling increases in magnitude with increasing temperature. Quantum chemistry calculations successfully predict the approximate magnitude of the coupling. This observation shows that the mutual proximity of molecular or atomic species is sufficient to induce a finite scalar nuclear spin-spin coupling, providing that translational motion is restricted by confinement. The phenomenon may have applications to the study of surface interactions and to mechanically bound species.

Abstract
We present an NMR crystallographic investigation of two as-made forms of the recently characterized gallophosphate GaPO-34A, which has an unusual framework composition with a Ga:P ratio of 7:6 and contains both hydroxide and fluoride anions and either 1-methylimidazolium or pyridinium as the structure-directing agent. We combine previously reported X-ray crystallographic data with solid-state NMR spectroscopy and periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations to show that the structure contains at least three distinct types of disorder (occupational, compositional, and dynamic). The occupational disorder arises from the presence of six anion sites per unit cell, but a total occupancy of five of these, leading to full occupancy of four sites and partial occupancy of the fifth and sixth (which are related by symmetry). The mixture of OH and F present leads to compositional disorder on the occupied anion sites, although the occupancy of some sites by F is calculated to be energetically unfavorable and signals relating to F on these sites are not observed by NMR spectroscopy, confirming that the compositional disorder is not random. Finally, a combination of high-field 71Ga NMR spectroscopy and variable-temperature 13C and 31P NMR experiments shows that the structure directing agents are dynamic on the microsecond time scale, which can be supported by averaging the 31P chemical shifts calculated with the SDA in different orientations. This demonstrates the value of an NMR crystallographic approach, particularly in the case of highly disordered crystalline materials, where the growth of large single crystals for conventional structure determination may not be possible owing to the extent of disorder present.

Abstract
Complex crystal structures with subtle atomic-scale details are now routinely solved using complementary tools such as X-ray and/or neutron scattering combined with electron diffraction and imaging. Identifying unambiguous atomic models for oxyfluorides, needed for materials design and structure-property control, is often still a considerable challenge despite their advantageous optical responses and applications in energy storage systems. In this work, NMR crystallography and single-crystal X-ray diffraction are combined for the complete structure solution of three new compounds featuring a rare triangular early transition metal oxyfluoride cluster, [Mo3O4F9]5-. After framework identification by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, 1D and 2D solid-state 19F NMR spectroscopy supported by ab initio calculations are used to solve the structures of K5[Mo3O4F9]·3H2O (1), K5[Mo3O4F9]·2H2O (2), and K16[Mo3O4F9]2[TiF6]3·2H2O (3) and to assign the nine distinct fluorine sites in the oxyfluoride clusters. Furthermore, 19F NMR identifies selective fluorine dynamics in K16[Mo3O4F9]2[TiF6]3·2H2O. These dual scattering and spectroscopy methods are used to demonstrate the generality and sensitivity of 19F shielding to small changes in bond length, on the order of 0.01 Å or less, even in the presence of hydrogen bonding, metal-metal bonding, and electrostatic interactions. Starting from the structure models, the nature of chemical bonding in the molybdates is explained by molecular orbital theory and electronic structure calculations. The average Mo-Mo distance of 2.505 Å and diamagnetism in 1, 2, and 3 are attributed to a metal-metal bond order of unity along with a 1a21e4 electronic ground state configuration for the [Mo3O4F9]5- cluster, leading to a rare trimeric spin singlet involving d2 Mo4+ ions. The approach to structure solution and bonding analysis is a powerful strategy for understanding the structures and chemical properties of complex fluorides and oxyfluorides.

Abstract
Vicinal scalar couplings (3 J) are extensively used for the conformational analysis of organic compounds in the liquid state through empirical Karplus equations. In contrast, there are no examples of such use for the structural investigation of solids. With the support of first principles calculations, we demonstrate here that 13 C-13 C 3 J coupling constants (3 JCC ) measured on a series of isotopically enriched solid amino acids and sugars can be related to dihedral angles by a simple Karplus-like relationship, and we provide a parameterized Karplus function for the conformational analysis of organic molecular crystals. Under the experimental conditions discussed, torsional angles can be estimated from the experimental 3 JCC values with an accuracy of 10° using this function. These results open new perspectives towards the use of 3 JCC as a new analytical tool that could considerably simplify structure determination of functional organic solids.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a powerful tool for studying quantum information processing (QIP). Recently quantum technologies have been proposed to overcome the challenges in large-scale NMR QIP. Furthermore, computational chemistry can promote its improvement. Nuclear spins-1/2 are natural qubits and have been used in most NMR quantum computation experiments. However, molecules that enable many qubits NMR QIP implementations should meet some requirements regarding their spectroscopic properties. Exceptionally large through-space (TS) P-P spin-spin coupling constants (SSCC or J) observed in 1,8-diphosphanaphthalenes (PPN) and in naphtho[1,8- cd]-1,2-dithiole phenylphosphines (NTP) were proposed and investigated to provide more accurate control within large-scale NMR QIP. Spectroscopic properties of PPN and NTP derivatives were explored by theoretical strategies using locally dense basis sets (LDBS). 31P chemical shifts (δ) calculated at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ-J level and TS P-P SSCCs at the PBE1PBE/pcJ-2 (LDBS-1) level are very close to the experimental data for the PPN molecule. Differently, for the NTP dimer, PBE1PBE/pcJ-2 (LDBS-2) predicts more accurate 31P δ, whereas PBE1PBE/Def2-TZVP (LDBS-1) forecasts more accurate TS P-P SSCCs. From our results, PPNo-F, PPNo-ethyl, and PPNo-NH2 were the best candidates for NMR QIP, in which the large TS SSCCS could face the need of long-time quantum gates implementations. Therefore, it could overcome natural limitations concerning the development of large-scale NMR.

Abstract
Solid state NMR signals are very sensitive to the local environment of the observed nucleus; however, their interpretation is not straightforward. On the other hand, first-principles DFT calculations of NMR parameters can now be applied to periodic compounds to predict NMR parameters. Thus, ab initio calculations can help to interpret the NMR spectra exhibited by complex materials, to assign NMR lines to structural environments, and even to enlighten the environmental factors influencing the NMR parameters for a given nucleus. Both techniques have been applied to crystalline compounds of the KF-YF3 binary system, γ-K3YF6, K2YF5, KYF4, β-KY2F7 and α-KY3F10, which present a variety of YFn and KFm polyhedra. First, the structure of K2YF5 was refined in the Pnma space group and, for all compounds, atomic positions were optimized by DFT. The 19F, 89Y and 39K NMR spectra have been recorded and the measured NMR parameters are compared to those calculated from the first-principles DFT method, allowing unambiguous assignments of NMR lines to crystallographic sites. Linear correlations between the experimental δiso and calculated σiso values for the three nuclei are used to predict the theoretical 19F spectra of KYF4 (24 F sites) and β-KY2F7 (19 F sites) as well as the 39K spectrum of KYF4 (6 K sites). For 89Y and 39K, both computational and experimental results show a decrease of the isotropic chemical shift values when the cation coordination number increases. Above all, 89Y isotropic chemical shift values correlate with the number of K atoms present in the Y second coordination sphere. For 19F, the combination of isotropic chemical shift and chemical shift anisotropy allows for distinguishing four kinds of F environments.

Abstract
The complete 31P NMR chemical shift tensors for 22 inorganic phosphates obtained from ab initio computation are found to correspond closely to experimentally obtained parameters. Further improvement was found when structures determined by diffraction were geometry optimized. Besides aiding in spectral assignment, the cases where correspondence is significantly improved upon geometry optimization point to the crystal structures requiring correction.

Abstract
The sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to the local atomic-scale environment offers great potential for the characterization of a diverse range of solid materials. Despite offering more information than its solution-state counterpart, solid-state NMR has not yet achieved a similar level of recognition, owing to the anisotropic interactions that broaden the spectral lines and hinder the extraction of structural information. Here, we describe the methods available to improve the resolution of solid-state NMR spectra and the continuing research in this area. We also highlight areas of exciting new and future development, including recent interest in combining experiment with theoretical calculations, the rise of a range of polarization transfer techniques that provide significant sensitivity enhancements, and the progress of in situ measurements. We demonstrate the detailed information available when studying dynamic and disordered solids and discuss the future applications of solid-state NMR spectroscopy across the chemical sciences.

Abstract
Precise investigation of part of the phase diagram of KF-Al2O3 system was performed in an experiment combining different techniques. Solidified mixtures of KF-Al2O3 were studied by X-ray powder diffraction and high-field solid-state NMR spectroscopy over a wide range of compositions. To help with the interpretation of the NMR spectra of the solidified samples found as complex admixtures, we synthesized the following pure compounds: KAlO2, K2Al22O34, α-K3AlF6, KAlF4, and K2Al2O3F2. These compounds were then characterized using various solid-state NMR techniques, including MQ-MAS and D-HMQC. NMR parameters of the pure compounds were finally determined using first-principles density functional theory calculations. The phase diagram of KF-Al2O3 with the alumina content up to 30 mol % was determined by means of thermal analysis. Thermal analysis was also used for the description of the thermal stability of one synthesized compound, K2Al2O3F2.

Abstract
Through an analysis combining powder XRD, TGA, and 19F and 1H solid-state NMR, it is confirmed for NbO2F and shown for TaO2F that both contain hydroxyl defects and metal vacancies when prepared by aqueous solution synthesis. The formulations M1-x□xO2-5x(OH,F)1+5x of both the samples are determined. The effects of the usually applied thermal treatments are examined. Obtaining pure NbO2F and TaO2F from these samples, that is, fully removing metal vacancies and hydroxide, while avoiding the formation of M2O5, is not that easy. Since thermal treatments result in dehydroxylation and defluorination, it requires, at least, a larger amount of fluorine than metal initially, which may not be the case. We also confirm that the solid-state synthesis is an efficient method to avoid metal vacancies and hydroxyl defects in NbO2F and then apply it to the synthesis of TaO2F. The local structure of NbO2F and TaO2F is poorly described by an ideal cubic ReO3-type model with O and F randomly distributed over the available anion sites. Since O/F ordering was previously highlighted, NbO2F and TaO2F cubic 3 × 3 × 3 supercells featuring -M-O-M-O-M-F- chains along ⟨100⟩ have been built and geometry optimized. These optimized supercells lead to more realistic structures than the previously proposed models, that is, really disordered structures with angularly and radially distorted MX6 octahedra as expected in disordered compounds. Moreover, the structural modeling of NbO2F and TaO2F by these geometry-optimized supercells is supported by the computed 19F and 93Nb NMR parameters, which give very good agreement with the experimental ones.

Abstract
Ti/Ge distribution in rhombohedral LiTi2-xGex(PO4)3 NASICON series has been analyzed by (31)P magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy and first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Nuclear magnetic resonance is an excellent probe to follow Ti/Ge disorder, as it is sensitive to the atomic scale environment without long-range periodicity requirements. In the samples considered here, PO4 units are surrounded by four Ti/Ge octahedra, and then, five different components ascribed to P(OTi)4, P(OTi)3(OGe), P(OTi)2(OGe)2, P(OTi)(OGe)3, and P(OGe)4 environments are expected in (31)P MAS NMR spectra of R3̅c NASICON samples. However, (31)P MAS NMR spectra of analyzed series display a higher number of signals, suggesting that, although the overall symmetry remains R3̅c, partial substitution causes a local decrement in symmetry. With the aid of first-principles DFT calculations, 10 detected (31)P NMR signals have been assigned to different Ti4-nGen arrangements in the R3 subgroup symmetry. In this assignment, the influence of octahedra of the same or different R2(PO4)3 structural units has been considered. The influence of bond distances, angles and atom charges on (31)P NMR chemical shieldings has been discussed. Simulation of the LiTi2-xGex(PO4)3 series suggests that detection of 10 P environments is mainly due to the existence of two oxygen types, O1 and O2, whose charges are differently affected by Ge and Ti occupation of octahedra. From the quantitative analysis of detected components, a random Ti/Ge distribution has been deduced in next nearest neighbor (NNN) sites that surround tetrahedral PO4 units. This random distribution was supported by XRD data displaying Vegard's law.

Abstract
Recent advances in the application of first-principles calculations of NMR parameters to periodic systems have resulted in widespread interest in their use to support experimental measurement. Such calculations often play an important role in the emerging field of "NMR crystallography", where NMR spectroscopy is combined with techniques such as diffraction, to aid structure determination. Here, we discuss the current state-of-the-art for combining experiment and calculation in NMR spectroscopy, considering the basic theory behind the computational approaches and their practical application. We consider the issues associated with geometry optimisation and how the effects of temperature may be included in the calculation. The automated prediction of structural candidates and the treatment of disordered and dynamic solids are discussed. Finally, we consider the areas where further development is needed in this field and its potential future impact.

Abstract
The structural chemistry of materials containing low levels of nonstoichiometric hydrogen is difficult to determine, and producing structural models is challenging where hydrogen has no fixed crystallographic site. Here we demonstrate a computational approach employing ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) to generate a series of candidate structures for hydrous wadsleyite (β-Mg2SiO4 with 1.6 wt% H2O), a high-pressure mineral proposed as a repository for water in the Earth's transition zone. Aligning with previous experimental work, we solely consider models with Mg3 (over Mg1, Mg2 or Si) vacancies. We adapt the AIRSS method by starting with anhydrous wadsleyite, removing a single Mg(2+) and randomly placing two H(+) in a unit cell model, generating 819 candidate structures. 103 geometries were then subjected to more accurate optimisation under periodic DFT. Using this approach, we find the most favourable hydration mechanism involves protonation of two O1 sites around the Mg3 vacancy. The formation of silanol groups on O3 or O4 sites (with loss of stable O1-H hydroxyls) coincides with an increase in total enthalpy. Importantly, the approach we employ allows observables such as NMR parameters to be computed for each structure. We consider hydrous wadsleyite (∼1.6 wt%) to be dominated by protonated O1 sites, with O3/O4-H silanol groups present as defects, a model that maps well onto experimental studies at higher levels of hydration (J. M. Griffin et al., Chem. Sci., 2013, 4, 1523). The AIRSS approach adopted herein provides the crucial link between atomic-scale structure and experimental studies.

Abstract
The structures of the β- and t-LaOF phases have been refined from XRPD patterns. For both phases, (19)F and (139)La solid-state NMR spectra recorded at high magnetic fields show the presence of a single F and a single La local environment, indicating a full anionic ordering in these oxyfluoride compounds. DFT calculations of the (19)F and (139)La chemical shielding tensors and of the (139)La EFG tensor have been performed for the proposed structural models. The observed good agreement between experimental and calculated NMR parameters for both phases highlights the accuracy of the structural data.

Abstract
High-resolution NMR spectroscopy, providing information on chemical shifts, J coupling constants, multiplet patterns, and relative peak areas, is a mainstream tool for analysis of molecular structures, conformations, compositions, and dynamics. Generally, a homogeneous magnetic field is a prerequisite for obtaining high-resolution NMR information. Magnetic field inhomogeneity, whether from non-ideal experimental conditions or from intrinsic magnetic susceptibility discontinuities in samples, represents a hurdle for applications of high-resolution NMR. Numerous techniques have been proposed for measuring high-resolution NMR spectra free from the influence of inhomogeneous magnetic fields. Besides developments and improvements in NMR instrumentation, various types of experimental approaches have been established for recovering NMR information in inhomogeneous magnetic fields. Three main types are systematically described in this review. In addition, other high-resolution NMR approaches or data processing methods are also briefly described. All high-resolution NMR approaches covered in this review have individual advantages and disadvantages in practical applications, and no one technique is applicable to all practical circumstances. Hence, they are complementary for high-resolution NMR applications in inhomogeneous fields. The underlying mechanisms of these approaches are presented, together with analyses of their applicability and efficiency.

Abstract
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has long been established as offering unique atomic-scale and element-specific insight into the structure, disorder, and dynamics of materials. NMR spectra of quadrupolar nuclei (I > (1)/2) are often perceived as being challenging to acquire and to interpret because of the presence of anisotropic broadening arising from the interaction of the electric field gradient and the nuclear electric quadrupole moment, which broadens the spectral lines, often over several megahertz. Despite the vast amount of information contained in the spectral line shapes, the problems with sensitivity and resolution have, until very recently, limited the application of NMR spectroscopy of quadrupolar nuclei in the solid state. In this Perspective, we provide a brief overview of the quadrupolar interaction, describe some of the basic experimental approaches used for acquiring high-resolution NMR spectra, and discuss the information that these spectra can provide. We then describe some interesting recent examples to showcase some of the more exciting and challenging new applications of NMR spectra of quadrupolar nuclei in the fields of energy materials, microporous materials, Earth sciences, and biomaterials. Finally, we consider the possible directions that this highly informative technique may take in the future.

Abstract
Current developments of NMR crystallography as well as some recent applications to diamagnetic inorganic solids are presented. First, we illustrate how solid-state NMR data can be used in combination with diffraction data for the determination of the periodic part of the crystal structures, from the space group selection, to the structure determination over the refinement and validation processes. As ss-NMR, contrary to diffraction (powder and single-crystal), is not restricted to periodic boundary conditions, ss-NMR data can be used to further complete the structural description of materials, including studies of local order/disorder, etc. This illustrated through examples, which are shown and discussed in the second part of this review.

Abstract
The relationship between the experimental (19)F isotropic chemical shift and the (19)F isotropic shielding calculated using the gauge including projector augmented-wave (GIPAW) method with PBE functional is investigated in the case of GaF3, InF3, TlF and several AlF3 polymorphs. It is shown that the linear correlation between experimental and DFT-PBE calculated values previously established on alkali, alkaline earth and rare earth of column 3 basic fluorides (Sadoc et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 13 (2011) 18539-18550) remains valid in the case of column 13 metal fluorides, indicating that it allows predicting (19)F solid state NMR spectra of a broad range of crystalline fluorides with a relatively good accuracy. For the isostructural α-AlF3, GaF3 and InF3 phases, PBE-DFT geometry optimization leads to noticeably overbended M-F-M bond angles and underestimated (27)Al, (71)Ga and (115)In calculated quadrupolar coupling constants. For the studied compounds, whose structures are built of corner shared MF6 octahedra, it is shown that the electric field gradient (EFG) tensor at the cationic sites is not related to distortions of the octahedral units, in contrast to what previously observed for isolated AlF6 octahedra in fluoroaluminates.

Abstract
The influence of nuclear delocalisation on NMR chemical shifts in molecular organic solids is explored using path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) and density functional theory calculations of shielding tensors. Nuclear quantum effects are shown to explain previously observed systematic deviations in correlations between calculated and experimental chemical shifts, with particularly large PIMD-induced changes (up to 23 ppm) observed for carbon atoms in methyl groups. The PIMD approach also enables isotope substitution effects on chemical shifts and J couplings to be predicted in excellent agreement with experiment for both isolated molecules and molecular crystals. An approach based on convoluting calculated shielding or coupling surfaces with probability distributions of selected bond distances and valence angles obtained from PIMD simulations is used to calculate isotope effects.

Abstract
Much of the information contained within solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra remains unexploited because of the challenges in obtaining high-resolution spectra and the difficulty in assigning those spectra. Recent advances that enable researchers to accurately and efficiently determine NMR parameters in periodic systems have revolutionized the application of density functional theory (DFT) calculations in solid-state NMR spectroscopy. These advances are particularly useful for experimentalists. The use of first-principles calculations aids in both the interpretation and assignment of the complex spectral line shapes observed for solids. Furthermore, calculations provide a method for evaluating potential structural models against experimental data for materials with poorly characterized structures. Determining the structure of well-ordered, periodic crystalline solids can be straightforward using methods that exploit Bragg diffraction. However, the deviations from periodicity, such as compositional, positional, or temporal disorder, often produce the physical properties (such as ferroelectricity or ionic conductivity) that may be of commercial interest. With its sensitivity to the atomic-scale environment, NMR provides a potentially useful tool for studying disordered materials, and the combination of experiment with first-principles calculations offers a particularly attractive approach. In this Account, we discuss some of the issues associated with the practical implementation of first-principles calculations of NMR parameters in solids. We then use two key examples to illustrate the structural insights that researchers can obtain when applying such calculations to disordered inorganic materials. First, we describe an investigation of cation disorder in Y2Ti(2-x)Sn(x)O7 pyrochlore ceramics using (89)Y and (119)Sn NMR. Researchers have proposed that these materials could serve as host phases for the encapsulation of lanthanide- and actinide-bearing radioactive waste. In a second example, we discuss how (17)O NMR can be used to probe the dynamic disorder of H in hydroxyl-humite minerals (nMg2SiO4·Mg(OH)2), and how (19)F NMR can be used to understand F substitution in these systems. The combination of first-principles calculations and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy facilitates the investigation of local structure, disorder, and dynamics in solids. We expect that applications will undoubtedly become more widespread with further advances in computational and experimental methods. Insight into the atomic-scale environment is a crucial first step in understanding the structure-property relationships in solids, and it enables the efficient design of future materials for a range of end uses.

Abstract
4'-substituted neutral/protonated furfurylidenanilines and trans-styrylfurans are able to exist in two different conformations related to the rotation around the furan ring-bridge double bond. In this work, the equilibrium geometry and the corresponding rotational barrier of the benzene ring for each furan derivative conformation were calculated by DFT methods. The trend and shape of the rotational barrier are rationalized within natural bond orbitals as well as atoms-in-molecules approach. For the corresponding equilibrium geometries, (1)H and (13)C substituent induced shifts (SIS) were calculated and compared with experimental values. Calculated shielding constants are shown to be sensitive to the substituent effect through a linear fit with substituent's Hammett constants. An alternative approach was followed for assessing the effect of substituents over SIS through comparing the differences in isotropic shielding constants with NBO charges as well as with (1)H and (13)C experimental chemical shifts.

Abstract
Chemically informative J couplings between pairs of quadrupolar nuclei in dimetallic and dimetalloid coordination motifs are measured using J-resolved solid-state NMR experiments. It is shown that the application of a double-quantum filter is necessary to observe the J splittings and that, under these conditions, only a simple doublet is expected. Interestingly, the splitting is amplified if the spins are magnetically equivalent, making it possible to measure highly precise J couplings and unambiguously probe the symmetry of the molecule. This is demonstrated experimentally by chemically breaking the symmetry about a pair of boron spins by reaction with an N-heterocyclic carbene to form a β-borylation reagent. The results show that the J coupling is a sensitive probe of bonding in diboron compounds and that the J values quantify the weakening of the B-B bond which occurs when forming an sp(2)-sp(3) diboron compound, which is relevant to their reactivity. Due to the prevalence of quadrupolar nuclei among transition metals, this work also provides a new approach to probe metal-metal bonding; results for Mn2(CO)10 are provided as an example.

Abstract
Heterogeneous samples, such as soils, sediments, plants, tissues, foods and organisms, often contain liquid-, gel- and solid-like phases and it is the synergism between these phases that determine their environmental and biological properties. Studying each phase separately can perturb the sample, removing important structural information such as chemical interactions at the gel-solid interface, kinetics across boundaries and conformation in the natural state. In order to overcome these limitations a Comprehensive Multiphase-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (CMP-NMR) probe has been developed, and is introduced here, that permits all bonds in all phases to be studied and differentiated in whole unaltered natural samples. The CMP-NMR probe is built with high power circuitry, Magic Angle Spinning (MAS), is fitted with a lock channel, pulse field gradients, and is fully susceptibility matched. Consequently, this novel NMR probe has to cover all HR-MAS aspects without compromising power handling to permit the full range of solution-, gel- and solid-state experiments available today. Using this technology, both structures and interactions can be studied independently in each phase as well as transfer/interactions between phases within a heterogeneous sample. This paper outlines some basic experimental approaches using a model heterogeneous multiphase sample containing liquid-, gel- and solid-like components in water, yielding separate (1)H and (13)C spectra for the different phases. In addition, (19)F performance is also addressed. To illustrate the capability of (19)F NMR soil samples, containing two different contaminants, are used, demonstrating a preliminary, but real-world application of this technology. This novel NMR approach possesses a great potential for the in situ study of natural samples in their native state.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2011; 212:311-319. [PMID: 21839657 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmr.2011.07.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2011] [Revised: 07/13/2011] [Accepted: 07/16/2011] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
The effects of multiple-resonance heteronuclear decoupling under magic angle spinning (MAS) on the resolution of one-dimensional (19)F and (31)P and various two-dimensional MAS NMR spectra and on the residual non-refocusable coherence lifetimes in fluorinated aluminophosphate AlPO(4)-CJ2, i.e. a compound that contains numerous highly abundant nuclei but no homonuclear spin bath, has been investigated. The design of the four-channel ((1)H, (19)F, (27)Al, (31)P) MAS probe used for this study is first described. (1)H and (1)H-(27)Al double-resonance decouplings allows lengthening the optimized transverse relaxation T(2)(opt) and increasing the resolution in the (19)F and (31)P dimensions. Under the application of multi-nuclear decoupling, a two-dimensional (19)F-(31)P CP-HETCOR correlation spectrum for AlPO(4)-CJ2 is recorded with unprecedented high-resolution in the two dimensions. Moreover, because (1)H-decoupling increases the (19)F T(2)(opt), it has been applied during the entire duration of the 2D NMR experiments, allowing the direct use of residual small interactions to generate (19)F-(19)F and (19)F-(27)Al 2D NMR correlation spectra in AlPO(4)-CJ2.
