These are known to depend on intermolecular interactions as evidenced by density-dependent chemical shifts in the gas phase, gas-to-liquid shifts, and adsorption shifts on surfaces. We present the results of the first ab initio intermolecular chemical shielding function calculated for a pair of interacting atoms for a wide range of internuclear separations. We used the localized orbital local origin (LORG) approach of Hansen and Bouman and also investigated the second-order electron correlation contributions using second-order LORG (SOLO). The 39Ar shielding in Ar2 passes through zero at some very short distance, going through a minimum, and asymptotically approaches zero at larger separations. The 21Ne shielding function in Ne2 has a similar shape. The Drude model suggests a method of scaling that portion of the shielding function that is weighted most heavily by exp[-V(R)/kT]. The scaling factors, which have been verified in the comparison of 21Ne in Ne2 against 39Ar in Ar2 ab initio results, allows us to project out from the same 39Ar in Ar2 ab initio values the appropriate 129Xe shielding functions in the Xe-Ar, Xe-Kr, and Xe-Xe interacting pairs. These functions lead to temperature-dependent second virial coefficients of chemical shielding which agree with experiments in the gas phase. Ab initio calculations of 39Ar shielding in clusters of argon are used to model the observed 129Xe chemical shifts of Xe, Xe2,...,Xe8 trapped in the cages of zeolite NaA.

Spectra were obtained at different spinning frequencies, and the intensities of the spinning sidebands were used to estimate the chemical shift anisotropy parameters. Useful correlations between the shapes of the 31P chemical shift tensor and the type of ligand were found: terminal ligands have negative values of the skew kappa, while bridging and ionic ligands have positive values for this parameter. The experimental results were compared with known X-ray diffraction structures for some of these complexes as well as with ab initio quantum mechanical calculations, and a useful correlation between the delta22 component of the 31P chemical shift tensor and the S-P-S bond angle in the O,O'-dialkyldithiophoshate zinc(II) and nickel(II) complexes was found: delta22 increases more than 50 ppm with the increase of S-P-S bond angle from ca. 100 degrees to 120 degrees , while the other two principal values of the tensor, delta11 and delta33, are almost conserved. This eventually leads to the change in sign for kappa in the bridging type of ligand, which generally has a larger S-P-S bond angle than the terminally bound O,O'-dialkyldithiophosphate group forming chelating four-membered P(ss)Me heterocycles.

This provides an excellent example of structural diversity in triorganotin carboxylates. In both complexes, the dicarboxylate was connected to the triphenyltin groups forming a linear infinite polymeric chain. Both complexes have a trans-trigonal bipyramidal geometry with the three phenyl groups

Under these high resolution conditions we observe the individual peaks corresponding to mixed dusters XenKrm inside the alpha cages, which allows the direct determination of the distribution of coadsorbates in a microporous solid for the first time.

Leed et al., Biochemistry 2002, 41, 10245-55]. Using similar methods, we now report an unexpected structure for the complex formed between FPIX and the related drug amodiaquine (AQ). The deduced structure is further supported by comparing AQ chemical-shift data to restricted Hartree-Fock calculations. The structure further highlights the critical nature of quinoline drug side-chain composition in stabilizing noncovalent association to FPIX. Heme Fe-AQ proton distances are longer, relative to those of the CQ complex, and the AQ aromatic side chain seems to have a significant role in stabilizing the complex. Relative to the FPIX-CQ complex, a similar 2:1 stoichiometry was determined for the AQ complex, in contras...
