Two-dimensional nutation 59Co NMR of solid Co4(CO)12

Spin-7/2 nutation and Hahn-echo amplitudes in model compounds and application to the tetrahedral cluster Co4(CO)12

Spin-7/2 central line intensities are calculated for any ratio of the quadrupolar coupling constant to the radiofrequency field for both one-pulse and two-pulse Hahn-echo experiments and tested by 59Co NMR on the model compounds, Na3[Co(NO2)6] and trans-[Co(en)2(NO2)2]NO3. The Hahn-echo sequence is then used to obtain the quadrupole coupling constant and asymmetry parameter on a powder sample of Co4(CO)12. This technique is found to be particularly useful when the NMR spectrum is broad and featureless.

Application of one-dimensional nutation nuclear magnetic resonance to 51V in ferroelastic BiVO4

The central line intensity of a spin I = 7/2, excited by a radio frequency (rf) pulse, is calculated by taking into account the first-order quadrupolar interaction during excitation. Thus, the result is valid for any ratio of quadrupolar coupling to pulse amplitude. The quadrupolar coupling of the nuclei vanadium 51V in a single crystal of ferroelastic BiVO4 is determined using this one-dimensional (1D) mutation method.
