Abstract
Self-diffusion coefficients and shear viscosity coefficients of pure 1-alkanol liquids from methanol to 1-hexanol were predicted using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. These coefficients have been calculated using the Green-Kubo and Einstein methods at a range of temperatures of 200-330 K with increments of 10 K. Two force fields, TraPPE-UA and OPLS-AA were applied. The predicted results were compared to the experimental data, and the activation energies for self-diffusion and shear viscosity were calculated using the Arrhenius equation. The Stokes-Einstein equation was used to examine its capability in predicting the relationship between self-diffusion and shear viscosity, and the effective hydrodynamic radius was determined using both the experimental data and the results from MD simulations. The TraPPE-UA force field showed better results for the transport properties of methanol, while the OPLS-AA force field performed well for predicting shear viscosity but weakly for self-diffusion, particularly at low temperatures and for 1-alkanol with higher methylene numbers. Using the mean squared displacement method for self-diffusion was found to be more accurate than the Green-Kubo method, while the Green-Kubo method was slightly better for calculating shear viscosity. The Stokes-Einstein equation is valid for pure 1-alkanol liquids with temperature-dependent effective hydrodynamic radius.

Abstract
Controlling the coordination sphere of heterogeneous single-metal-site catalysts is a powerful strategy for fine-tuning their catalytic properties but is fairly difficult to achieve. To address this problem, we immobilized supramolecular cages where the primary- and secondary coordination sphere are controlled by ligand design. The kinetics of these catalysts were studied in a model reaction, the hydrolysis of ammonia borane, over a temperature range using fast and precise online measurements generating high-precision Arrhenius plots. The results show how catalytic properties can be enhanced by placing a well-defined reaction pocket around the active site. Our fine-tuning yielded a catalyst with such performance that the reaction kinetics are diffusion-controlled rather than chemically controlled.

Abstract
Reliable structure elucidation of covalent organic cage compounds remains challenging as routine analysis might leave ambiguities. Diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) allows insight into the molecular size and mass of the species present in solution, but a systematic evaluation of the diffusion behavior for cage assemblies is rarely considered. Here we report the synthesis of four series of covalent organic cages based on tribenzotriquinacenes and diboronic acids with varying geometry and exohedral substituents. We provide a guideline for the consistent measurement of diffusion coefficients from 1 H-DOSY NMR spectroscopy, which was utilized to study the diffusion behavior for the whole set of cages and selected examples from the literature. For structurally similar cages, a linear correlation between the solvodynamic volume and the molecular mass allows precise size determination. For more complex systems, multiple parameters, such as window size or rigid exohedral functionalization. further modulate cage diffusion in solution.

Abstract
By using time-of-flight neutron spectroscopy with polarization analysis, we have separated coherent and incoherent contributions to the scattering of deuterated tetrahydrofuran in a wide scattering vector (Q)-range from meso- to inter-molecular length scales. The results are compared with those recently reported for water to address the influence of the nature of inter-molecular interactions (van der Waals vs hydrogen bond) on the dynamics. The phenomenology found is qualitatively similar in both systems. Both collective and self-scattering functions are satisfactorily described in terms of a convolution model that considers vibrations, diffusion, and a Q-independent mode. We observe a crossover in the structural relaxation from being dominated by the Q-independent mode at the mesoscale to being dominated by diffusion at inter-molecular length scales. The characteristic time of the Q-independent mode is the same for collective and self-motions and, contrary to water, faster and with a lower activation energy (≈1.4 Kcal/mol) than the structural relaxation time at inter-molecular length scales. This follows the macroscopic viscosity behavior. The collective diffusive time is well described by the de Gennes narrowing relation proposed for simple monoatomic liquids in a wide Q-range entering the intermediate length scales, in contraposition to the case of water.

Abstract
Supramolecular metalloporphyrin polymers formed by binding tetrapyrrolic macrocycle peripheral nitrogen atoms to Pd(II) cations and Sn(IV)porphyrins extra-ligands reaction centers to Cu(II) cations were obtained and identified. The structure and the formation mechanism of obtained hydrophobic Sn(IV)-porphyrin oligomers and polymers in solution were established, and their resistance to UV radiation and changes in solution temperature was studied. It was shown that the investigated polyporphyrin nanostructures are porous materials with predominance cylindrical mesopores. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to geometrically optimize the experimentally obtained supramolecular porphyrin polymers. The sizes of unit cells in porphyrin tubular structures were determined and coincided with the experimental data. The results obtained can be used to create highly porous materials for separation, storage, transportation, and controlled release of substrates of different nature, including highly volatile, explosive, and toxic gases.

Abstract
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is a method to enhance the low sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) via spin polarization transfer from electron spins to nuclear spins. In the liquid state, this process is mediated by fast modulations of the electron-nuclear hyperfine coupling and its efficiency depends strongly on the applied magnetic field. A peculiar case study is triphenylphosphine (PPh3) dissolved in benzene and doped with BDPA radical because it gives 31P-NMR signal enhancements of two orders of magnitude up to a magnetic field of 14.1 T. Here we show that the large 31P enhancements of BDPA/PPh3 in benzene at 1.2 T (i) decrease when the moieties are dissolved in other organic solvents, (ii) are strongly reduced when using a nitroxide radical, and (iii) vanish with pentavalent 31P triphenylphosphine oxide. Those experimental observations are rationalized with numerical calculations based on density functional theory that show the tendency of BDPA and PPh3 to form a weak complex via non-covalent interaction that leads to large hyperfine couplings to 31P (ΔAiso ≥ 13 MHz). This mechanism is hampered in other investigated systems. The case study of 31P-DNP in PPh3 is an important example that extends the current understanding of DNP in the liquids state: non-covalent interactions between radical and target can be particularly effective to obtain large NMR signal enhancements.

Abstract
Molecular self-diffusion coefficients underlie various kinetic properties of the liquids involved in chemistry, physics, and pharmaceutics. In this study, 547 self-diffusion coefficients are calculated based on all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of 152 diverse pure liquids at various temperatures employing the OPLS4 force field. The calculated coefficients are compared with experimental data (424 extracted from the literature and 123 newly measured by pulsed-field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance). The calculations well agree with the experimental values. The determination coefficient and root mean square error between the observed and calculated logarithmic self-diffusion coefficients of the 547 entries are 0.931 and 0.213, respectively, demonstrating that the MD calculation can be an excellent industrial tool for predicting, for example, molecular transportation in liquids such as the diffusion of active ingredients in biological and pharmaceutical liquids. The self-diffusion coefficients collected in this study are compiled into a database for broad researches including artificial intelligence calculations.

Abstract
The synthesis, structure and some properties of coordination polymers composed of linear zinc bis(diorganophospate)s (ZnDOPs) with a general formula of Zn[O2P(OR)2]2 (where R = CH3, C2H5, n-C4H9, or 2-ethylhexyl group) are described. Hybrid (co)polymers obtained by different procedures were characterized by means of powder XRD, DSC, SEM, TGA coupled with mass spectrometry of the evolved gases and rheological measurements, as well as FTIR and NMR techniques. The morphology, thermal transformations and solubility of ZnDOPs strongly depend on the type of organic substituent in the O2P(OR)2 ligands and the thermal history of the sample. Because of this, one can obtain highly crystalline rods, semicrystalline powders, as well as rubbery materials exhibiting a second-order transition below −50 °C. Polymeric chains formed by ZnDOPs undergo a reversible dissociation in polar organic solvents (e.g., methanol, DMSO), which allows for easy modification of their composition and physicochemical properties via a simple exchange of diorganophosphate anions. Some of the ZnDOPs were investigated as the latent curing agents for epoxides. On the basis of rheological and DSC studies, it is evident that ZnDOPs catalyze very effectively the cross-linking process within the 130–160 °C temperature range.

Abstract
![]()
Diffusion-ordered nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy
is widely used for the analysis of mixtures, dispersing the signals
of different species in a two-dimensional spectrum according to their
diffusion coefficients. However, interpretation of these diffusion
coefficients is typically purely qualitative, for example, to deduce
which species are bigger or smaller. In studies of proteins in solution,
important questions concern the molecular weight of the proteins,
the presence or absence of aggregation, and the degree of folding.
The Stokes–Einstein Gierer–Wirtz estimation (SEGWE)
method has been previously developed to simplify the complex relationship
between diffusion coefficient and molecular mass, allowing the prediction
of a species’ diffusion coefficient in a pure solvent based
on its molecular weight. Here, we show that SEGWE can be extended
to successfully predict both peptide and protein diffusion coefficients
in mixed protiated–deuteriated water samples and, hence, distinguish
effectively between globular and disordered proteins.

Abstract
New high-pressure self-diffusion data are reported for the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([EMIM][Tf2N]) at pressures up to 363 MPa in the temperature range 288-348 K. The cation and anion activation volumes derived from these are found to be equal at a fixed temperature, within experimental error, in contradiction to a report in the literature that they differ significantly. Self-diffusion activation volumes derived from our earlier high-pressure diffusion studies also show equality for the respective cations and anions of bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide, tetrafluoroborate and hexafluorophosphate salts with various cations. Stokes-Einstein-Sutherland analysis and density scaling are applied to the [EMIM][Tf2N] self-diffusion measurements and support the conclusion that pressure effects both cation and anion mass (and hence charge) transport in the same way. The density scaling parameters are consistent with the theoretical predictions of Knudsen et al. and agree with that for the viscosity, as for other ionic liquids.

Abstract
We have examined the structure of supercooled liquid D2O as a function of temperature between 185 and 255 K using pulsed laser heating to rapidly heat and cool the sample on a nanosecond timescale. The liquid structure can be represented as a linear combination of two structural motifs, with a transition between them described by a logistic function centered at 218 K with a width of 10 K. The relaxation to a metastable state, which occurred prior to crystallization, exhibited nonexponential kinetics with a rate that was dependent on the initial structural configuration. When the temperature is scaled by the temperature of maximum density, which is an isostructural point of the isotopologues, the structural transition and the non-equilibrium relaxation kinetics of D2O agree remarkably well with those for H2O.

Abstract
The excess energy flow pathways during rotational and translational relaxation induced by rotational or translational excitation of a single molecule of and within each of four different neat liquids (H2O, MeOH, CCl4, and CH4) are studied using classical molecular dynamics simulations and energy flux analysis. For all four liquids, the relaxation processes for both types of excitation are ultrafast, but the energy flow is significantly faster for the polar, hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) liquids H2O and MeOH. Whereas the majority of the initial excess energy is transferred into hindered rotations (librations) for rotational excitation in the H-bonded liquids, an almost equal efficiency for transfer to translational and rotational motions is observed in the nonpolar, non-H-bonded liquids CCl4 and CH4. For translational excitation, transfer to translational motions dominates for all liquids. In general, the energy flows are quite local; i.e., more than 70% of the energy flows directly to the first solvent shell molecules, reaching almost 100% for CCl4 and CH4. Finally, the determined validity of linear response theory for these nonequilibrium relaxation processes is quite solvent-dependent, with the deviation from linear response most marked for rotational excitation and for the nonpolar liquids.

For biological, complex, and/or precious liquid samples, the available volume of fluid is limited, yet there are few existing techniques to measure the viscosity of small volumes of liquids. We report a facile method to measure the viscosity of liquids by monitoring the sliding of single-cornered droplets on surfaces coated with an omniphobic film that minimizes the contact-angle hysteresis. The developed measurement method was capable of accurately characterizing the viscosity of various liquids and showed statistically equivalent values when compared to the literature, for fluids with viscosities ranging from 0.35 to ∼800 mPa s (acetone to castor oil). Using the developed single-droplet viscometer, the minimum volume required to measure the viscosity of hexadecane, dodecane, toluene, and ethanol was <5 μL and was <1 μL for decane and isopropyl alcohol, respectively. Further, the viscosity of hexadecane measured from 22 to 70 °C matched literature values precisely. The single-droplet, small-volume viscometer also requires minimal cleaning due to the omniphobic surface, meaning the fluid may be reused for other purposes with no liquid loss occurring due to the viscosity measurement.

Abstract
Redox-active molecules are of interest in many fields, such as medicine, catalysis, or energy storage. In particular, in supercapacitor applications, they can be grafted to ionic liquids to form so-called biredox ionic liquids. To completely understand the structural and transport properties of such systems, an insight at the molecular scale is often required, but few force fields are developed ad hoc for these molecules. Moreover, they do not include polarization effects, which can lead to inaccurate solvation and dynamical properties. In this work, we developed polarizable force fields for redox-active species anthraquinone (AQ) and 2,2,6,6-tetra-methylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (TEMPO) in their oxidized and reduced states as well as for acetonitrile. We validate the structural properties of AQ, AQ•-, AQ2-, TEMPO•, and TEMPO+ in acetonitrile against density functional theory-based molecular dynamics simulations and we study the solvation of these redox molecules in acetonitrile. This work is a first step toward the characterization of the role played by AQ and TEMPO in electrochemical and catalytic devices.

Abstract
New coordination oligomers and polymers of Sn(IV)-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin have been constructed by the chelation reaction of its diaxialphenolates with Cu2+. The structure and properties of the synthesized polyporphyrin arrays were investigated by 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR), Infra Red (IR), Ultra Violet - Visible (UV-Vis) and fluorescence spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, Powder X-Rays Diffraction (PXRD), Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), thermal gravimetric, elemental analysis, and quantum chemical calculations. The results show that the diaxial coordination of bidentate organic ligands (L-tyrazine and diaminohydroquinone) leads to the quenching of the tetrapyrrole chromophore fluorescence, while the chelation of the porphyrinate diaxial complexes with Cu2+ is accompanied by an increase in the fluorescence in the organo-inorganic hybrid polymers formed. The obtained results are of particular interest to those involved in creating new 'chemo-responsive' (i.e., selectively interacting with other chemical species as receptors, sensors, or photocatalysts) materials, the optoelectronic properties of which can be controlled by varying the number and connection type of monomeric fragments in the polyporphyrin arrays.

Abstract
Field Cycling (FC) 2H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry was applied to study dynamics in Nafion NR 212 in the temperature range from 300 K to 190 K and water content of λ = 8.2. The sensitive time window of FC was extended up to eight decades using the temperature-frequency superposition principle and master curve. The rotational correlation times obtained from 2H FC NMR coincide with translational correlation times gained from static field 2H NMR diffusometry in the temperature range applied. This fact means that a long-range mass transport in Nafion is coupled to molecular rotations. It is assumed that confined water in Nafion has more ordered oxygen sublattices as compared with bulk water, on a short range is similar to ice. We discuss the possible role of D and L defects, typical for the ordered ice structure and using this concept to describe the processes of self-diffusion of confined water in Nafion, as well as the similarity of temperature and humidity dependence of self-diffusion and proton conductivity.

Abstract
This article was written in honor of Prof. Bernhard Blümich, who has heavily impacted many areas of Magnetic Resonance and, in particular, low-field and portable NMR with numerous advances, concepts, innovations, and applications of this impressive technology. Many years ago, we decided to research and develop single-sided magnets for the area of petroleum science and engineering to study oil reservoir rocks in the laboratory under well-logging conditions. The global urge to exploit oil reserves requires the analysis of reservoirs, intending to characterize the yields before starting the production. Thus, well-logging tools have been developed to estimate the quality of oil and reservoir productivity. NMR logging is included in these analytical tools, and numerous operations using this kind of device were performed since the early 1950s. To contribute to this vital research area, we show the development of a new benchtop single-sided NMR system, with well-logging tool characteristics, a cylindrical sweet spot with 4 cm of diameter and length, with magnetic field of 47 mT centered at 11 cm from the magnet's surface and a constant gradient of 35.7 G/cm along z. This system was used in self-diffusion, T1-T2, and D-T2 measurements of standard liquids and rock cores, demonstrating its functionality.

Abstract
The reliability of molecular mechanics (MM) simulations in describing biomolecular ion-driven processes depends on their ability to accurately model interactions of ions simultaneously with water and other biochemical groups. In these models, ion descriptors are calibrated against reference data on ion-water interactions, and it is then assumed that these descriptors will also satisfactorily describe interactions of ions with other biochemical ligands. The comparison against the experiment and high-level quantum mechanical data show that this transferability assumption can break down severely. One approach to improve transferability is to assign cross terms or separate sets of non-bonded descriptors for every distinct pair of ion type and its coordinating ligand. Here, we propose an alternative solution that targets an error-source directly and corrects misrepresented physics. In standard model development, ligand descriptors are never calibrated or benchmarked in the high electric fields present near ions. We demonstrate for a representative MM model that when the polarization descriptors of its ligands are improved to respond to both low and high fields, ligand interactions with ions also improve, and transferability errors reduce substantially. In our case, the overall transferability error reduces from 3.3 kcal/mol to 1.8 kcal/mol. These improvements are observed without compromising on the accuracy of low-field interactions of ligands in gas and condensed phases. Reference data for calibration and performance evaluation are taken from the experiment and also obtained systematically from "gold-standard" CCSD(T) in the complete basis set limit, followed by benchmarked vdW-inclusive density functional theory.

Abstract
X-ray and neutron scattering have provided insight into the short range (<8 Å) structures of ionic solutions for over a century. For longer distances, single scattering bands have, however, been seen. For the non-hydrolyzing salt SrI2 in aqueous (D2O) solution, a structure sufficient to scatter slow neutrons has been seen to persist down to a concentration of 0.1 mol L-1 where the measured average spacing between scatterers is over 20 Å. Theoretical studies of such long distance solution structures are difficult, and these difficulties are discussed. The width of the distribution in distances between the scatterers (ions, ion pairs, etc.) remains less than 10 Å, which approximates the average size of the ions and their first hydration shell. Here, we measure the temperature dependence from 10 °C to 90 °C of the small angle neutron scattering (SANS) by a 0.5 molar SrI2 solution in D2O and find that this surprisingly narrow distribution of the distances remains constant within experimental uncertainty. This structure of the ions in the solution appears to endure because changes in interion distances along any single spatial dimension require displacements near the size of a water molecule. Together, the experimental measurements support a rotatory mechanism for simultaneous ion transport and water countertransport. Since rotation minimizes displacement of the solution framework, it is suggested that water transport alone also involves rotation of multimolecular structures, and that the interpretation of single-molecule water rotation is confounded by pseudorotation that results from paired picosecond proton exchanges. It is pointed out that NMR-determined millisecond to microsecond proton exchange times of chelated-metal-ion bound waters and the much faster chelate rotational correlation times around 10 picoseconds, both of which require making and breaking of hydrogen bonds, are difficult to impossible to reconcile.

Abstract
Deuteration is a common chemical modification used in conjunction with experiments such as neutron scattering, NMR, and Fourier-transform infrared for the study of molecular systems. Under the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation, while the underlying potential energy surface remains unchanged by isotopic substitutions, isotopic substitution still alters intramolecular vibrations, which in turn may alter intermolecular interactions. Molecular mechanics (MM) force fields used in classical molecular dynamics simulations are assumed to represent local approximations of the BO potential energy surfaces, and hence, MD simulations using simple isotopic mass substitutions should capture BO-compatible isotope effects. However, standard MM force-field parameterizations do not directly fit to the local harmonic quantum mechanical (QM) Hessian that describes the BO surface, but rather to QM normal-modes and/or mass-dependent internal-coordinate derived distortion energies. Here, using tetrahydrofuran (THF)-water mixtures as our model system, we show that not only does a simple mass-substitution approach fail to capture an experimentally characterized deuteration effect (the loss of the closed-loop miscibility gap associated with the complete deuteration of THF) but also it is necessary to generate new MM force-field parameters that correctly describe isotopic dependent vibrations to capture the experimental deuteration effect. We show that the origin of this failure is a result of using mass-dependent features to fit the THF MM force field, which unintentionally biases the bonded terms of the force field to represent only the isotopologue used during the original force-field parameterization. In addition, we make use of our isotopologue-corrected force field for D8THF to examine the molecular origins of the isotope-dependent loss of the THF-water miscibility gap.

Abstract
Nonaqueous polyelectrolyte solutions have recently been proposed as potential battery electrolytes due to their unique ability to tune the mobility of the anion relative to that of the electrochemically active lithium ion. This could potentially be used to study the effect of concentration polarization during battery charge, a major limiting factor in achieving fast charge rates that is caused by high anion mobility. An important consideration in the design of polyelectrolyte solutions for battery applications is the solubility of the polymer in battery-relevant carbonate blend solvents. Little is understood from a transport perspective, however, about the importance of designing the polymer to be solvophillic or if it is sufficient to obtain solubility through the incorporation of appended ions alone (as with polystyrene sulfonate in water). Using a model polysulfone-based system without added salt, we investigate the conductivity, viscosity, and diffusion of polyelectrolyte solutions over a range of concentrations and molecular weights in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water. In both solvents, sulfonated polysulfone is readily soluble and the charged group is known to dissociate, but the neutral backbone polymer is only soluble in DMSO. We find marked differences in the transport behavior of polymer solutions prepared from the two solvents, particularly at high concentrations. Comparing this transport behavior to that of the monomer in solution demonstrates a larger decrease in lithium motion in DMSO than in water, even though the bulk viscosity in water increases far more rapidly. This study sheds light on the important parameters for optimizing polyelectrolyte solution transport in different solvents.

Abstract
A molecular tweezer incorporating two acridinium moieties linked by a 1,3-dipyridylbenzene spacer was synthesized in three steps. The formation of its self-complementary dimer in water was demonstrated as a result of π-π stacking and hydrophobic interactions. Moreover, a 1 : 1 mixture of this bis-acridinium tweezer with one built on a 2,6-diphenylpyridyl spacer evidenced its narcissistic self-sorting behaviour in water.

Abstract
The synthesis of four samples of new polyurethanes was evaluated by changing the ratio of the diol monomers used, poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) and D-isosorbide, in the presence of aliphatic isocyanates such as the isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and 4,4′-methylenebis(cyclohexyl isocyanate) (HMDI). The thermal properties of the four polymers obtained were determined by DSC, exhibiting Tg values in the range 55–70 °C, and their molecular structure characterized by FTIR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopies. The diffusion coefficients of these polymers in solution were measured by the Pulse Gradient Spin Echo (PGSE) NMR method, enabling the calculation of the corresponding hydrodynamic radii in diluted solution (1.62–2.65 nm). The molecular weights were determined by GPC/SEC and compared with the values determined by a quantitative 13C NMR analysis. Finally, the biocompatibility of the polyurethanes was assessed using the HaCaT keratinocyte cell line by the MTT reduction assay method showing values superior to 70% cell viability.

Abstract
Diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) is increasingly widely used for the analysis of mixtures by NMR spectroscopy, dispersing the signals of different species according to their diffusion coefficients. DOSY is used primarily to distinguish between the signals of different species, with the interpretation of the diffusion coefficients observed usually being purely qualitative, for example to deduce whether one species is bigger or smaller than another. In principle, the actual values of diffusion coefficient obtained carry important information about the sizes of different species and on interactions between species, but the relationship between diffusion coefficient and molecular mass is in general a very complex one. Here a recently proposed analytical relationship between diffusion coefficient and molecular mass for the restricted case of small organic molecules is tested against a wide range of data from the scientific literature and generalized to cover a range of solvents and temperatures.

Abstract
A molecular dynamics study of liquid water and models of water has been carried out to understand the effect of changes in the mass distribution on molecular translation and rotation. Calculations on the motion of mH2O and H2nO, where m and n vary over a range of values by varying the mass at the hydrogen and oxygen positions, show that these form two distinct series. The two series exhibit different translational and rotational properties. Although a decrease in diffusivity when compared to H2O is observed in both the series, in the case of mH2O series, an enhancement in the ratio of diffusivities {D[H2O]/D[mH2O]} is found as compared to the square root of the inverse mass ratios, whereas the effect of mass distribution for H2nO is seen to lead to a reduction in the ratio of diffusivities {D[H2O]/D[H2nO]} with respect to the square root of the inverse mass ratios. However, the ratios of diffusivities in both the series deviate from the corresponding mass ratios, which can be attributed to the translation-rotation coupling in liquid water.

PROGRESS IN NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY 2017; 101:18-50. [PMID: 28844220 DOI: 10.1016/j.pnmrs.2017.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2017] [Revised: 04/02/2017] [Accepted: 04/02/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
Field-cycling NMR relaxometry is a well-established technique for probing molecular dynamics in a frequency range from typically a few kHz up to several tens of MHz. For the interpretation of relaxometry data, it is quite often assumed that the spin-lattice relaxation process is of an intra-molecular nature so that rotational fluctuations dominate. However, dipolar interactions as the main type of couplings between protons and other dipolar species without quadrupole moments can imply appreciable inter-molecular contributions. These fluctuate due to translational displacements and to a lesser degree also by rotational reorientations in the short-range limit. The analysis of the inter-molecular proton spin-lattice relaxation rate thus permits one to evaluate self-diffusion variables such as the diffusion coefficient or the mean square displacement on a time scale from nanoseconds to several hundreds of microseconds. Numerous applications to solvents, plastic crystals and polymers will be reviewed. The technique is of particular interest for polymer dynamics since inter-molecular spin-lattice relaxation diffusometry bridges the time scales of quasi-elastic neutron scattering and field-gradient NMR diffusometry. This is just the range where model-specific intra-coil mechanisms are assumed to occur. They are expected to reveal themselves by characteristic power laws for the time-dependence of the mean-square segment displacement. These can be favorably tested on this basis. Results reported in the literature will be compared with theoretical predictions. On the other hand, there is a second way for translational diffusion phenomena to affect the spin-lattice relaxation dispersion. If rotational diffusion of molecules is restricted, translational diffusion properties can be deduced even from molecular reorientation dynamics detected by intra-molecular spin-lattice relaxation. This sort of scenario will be relevant for adsorbates on surfaces or polymer segments under entanglement and chain connectivity constraints. Under such conditions, reorientations will be correlated with translational displacements leading to the so-called RMTD relaxation process (reorientation mediated by translational displacements). Applications to porous glasses, protein solutions, lipid bilayers, and clays will be discussed. Finally, we will address the intriguing fact that the various time limits of the segment mean-square displacement of polymers in some cases perfectly reproduce predictions of the tube/reptation model whereas the reorientation dynamics suggests strongly deviating power laws.
