Access and use of this website and the material on it are subject to the Terms and Conditions set forth at Structure and dynamics of ND₃BF₃ in the solid and gas phases : a combined NMR, neutron diffraction, and Ab initio study Penner, Glenn H.; Ruscitti, Bruno; Reynolds, Julie; Swainson, Ian http://nparc.cisti-icist.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/fra/droits L'accès à ce site Web et l'utilisation de son contenu sont assujettis aux conditions présentées dans le site The decrease in DfA bond lengths, previously reported for some Lewis acid/base complexes, in going from the gas to the solid phases is investigated by obtaining an accurate crystal structure of solid ND 3 BF 3 by powder neutron diffraction. The B−N internuclear distance is 1.554(3) Å, 0.118 Å shorter than the most recent gas-phase microwave value and 0.121 Å shorter than the single molecule geometry optimized (1.672 Å, CISD/6-311++G-(d,p)) bond length. The crystal structure also shows N−D‚‚‚F−B hydrogen bonds. The effects of this change in structure and of intermolecular hydrogen-bonding on nuclear magnetic shielding (i.e., chemical shifts) and the nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants (QCC) are investigated by ab initio molecular orbital and density functional theory calculations. These calculations show that the nitrogen (15 N and 14 N) and boron (11 B and 10 B) chemical shifts should be rather insensitive to changes in r BN and that the concomitant changes in molecular structure. Calculations on hydrogen-bonded clusters, based on the crystal structure, indicate that H-bonding should also have very little effect on the chemical shifts. On the other hand, the 11 B and 14 N QCCs show large changes because of both effects. An analysis of the 10 B{ 19 F} line shape in solid ND 3 10 BF 3 yields a 11 B QCC of ±0.130 MHz. This is reasonably close an earlier value of ±0.080 MHz and the value of ±0.050 MHz calculated for a [NH 3 BF 3 ] 4 cluster. The gas-phase value is 1.20 MHz. Temperature-dependent deuterium T 1 measurements yield an activation energy for rotation of the ND 3 group in solid ND 3 BF 3 of 9.5 ± 0.1 kJ/mol. Simulations of the temperature-dependent T 1 anisotropy gave an E a of 9.5 ± 0.2 kJ/mol and a preexponential factor, A,of3.0± 0.1 × 10 12 s-1. Our calculated value for a [NH 3 BF 3 ] 4 cluster is 16.4 kJ/mol. Both are much higher than the previous value of 3.9 kJ/mol, from solid-state proton T 1 measurements.
