“…The isotropic 113 Cd chemical shifts observed in the indirect dimension of the 2D CP-MAT spectra provide clear information about the identity of the atoms coordinating Cd, while the sideband manifolds observed in the direct dimension allow determination of anisotropic chemical shift tensor parameters that report on the symmetry of the Cd atoms. ,, Interestingly, the 2D CP-MAT spectra of the platelets and spheroids are similar, with both showing four distinct isotropic 113 Cd NMR signals visible in the indirect dimension, although there are differences in the relative signal intensities between the two samples and some slight differences in isotropic chemical shifts (Figure S7). The first signal occurs at an isotropic chemical shift of approximately −60 ppm, which matches the previously reported chemical shift for bulk CdSe. ,,,,, Therefore, this signal corresponds to CdSe 4 sites residing in the core or subsurface regions of the CdSe NCs. As expected, this site has a small chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) (Ω < 200 ppm) consistent with the symmetric, tetrahedral arrangement of Se atoms.…”
