Abstract
Rare earth oxyhydrides REOxH(3-2x), with RE = Y, Sc, or Gd and a cationic FCC lattice, are reversibly photochromic in nature. It is known that structural details and anion (O2-:H-) composition dictate the efficiency of the photochromic behavior. The mechanism behind the photochromism is, however, not yet understood. In this study, we use 1H, 2H, 17O, and 89Y solid-state NMR spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the various yttrium, hydrogen, and oxygen local environments, anion oxidation states, and hydride ion dynamics. DFT models of YOxH(3-2x) with both anion-ordered and anion-disordered sublattices are constructed for a range of compositions and show a good correlation with the experimental NMR parameters. Two-dimensional 17O-1H and 89Y-1H NMR correlation experiments reveal heterogeneities in the samples, which appear to consist of hydride-rich (x ≈ 0.25) and hydride-poor domains (x ≈ 1) rather than a single composition with homogeneous anion mixing. The compositional variation (as indicated by the different x values in YOxH(3-2x)) is determined by comparing static 1H NMR line widths with calculated 1H-1H dipolar couplings of yttrium oxyhydride models. The 1D 17O MAS spectrum demonstrates the presence of a small percentage of hydroxide (OH-) ions. DFT modeling indicates a reaction between the protons of hydroxides and hydrides to form molecular hydrogen (H+ + H- → H2). 1H MAS NMR indicates the presence of a mobile component that, based on this finding, is attributed to trapped molecular H2 in the lattice.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2022; 344:107310. [PMID: 36334491 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmr.2022.107310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 10/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Herein, we introduce supercycle of R-symmetry sequences (SR-sequences) and incomplete supercycle schemes of R-symmetry sequences (iSR-I- and iSR-II-sequences) to improve the robustness of PRESTO for heteronuclear polarization transfer in MAS NMR. The constructions of SR- and iSR-I/II- sequences are based on the different phase-inverted supercycles of R-symmetry sequences, and such supercycles can suppress the influence of CSA, resonance offset and RF mismatch when incorporated into the PRESTO method. Moreover, the SR- and iSR-II-sequences are more efficient in suppressing the interference of homonuclear dipolar coupling. The improved robustness of SR-, iSR-I- and iSR-II-PRESTO over the original R-PRESTO has been verified by numerical simulations and NMR experiments on NH4H2PO4 and gamma-alumina at fast MAS conditions. It is also important to note that the SR- and iSR-II-PRESTO can greatly lengthen the transverse relaxation times and lead to much higher polarization transfer efficiency compared to R-PRESTO, thanks to their superior tolerance to RF inhomogeneity and homonuclear dipolar coupling.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2021; 333:107093. [PMID: 34749038 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmr.2021.107093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Revised: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Recently, we established an experimental setup protocol to perform the population transfer from half-integer quadrupolar spin to 1H nuclei under fast MAS in the context of MQ-HETCOR experiments. In this article, we further develop the high-resolution 2D HETCOR methods by ST-based approaches, making use of the sensitivity advantage of STMAS over its MQMAS counterpart. In a similar manner to the previous work, which utilized CP and RINEPT for the population transfer, we also demonstrate the experimental setup protocol for PRESTO. Using {23Na}-1H and {27Al}-1H spin systems of powder samples, we compare a series of MQ/ST-HETCOR 2D spectra to discuss the pros and cons of the distinct MQ/ST-based approaches for spin 3/2 and 5/2 nuclei, respectively. We also incorporate two experimental tricks to reduce the experimental time of such long 2D experiments, the Optimized Rotor-Synchronization (ORS) and the Non-Uniform Sampling (NUS), in the context of high-resolution spectra of half-integer quadrupolar spin nuclei.
