Resolving the Chemical Formula of Nesquehonite via NMR Crystallography, DFT Computation, and Complementary Neutron Diffraction

Abstract: Nesquehonite is a magnesium carbonate mineral relevant to carbon sequestration envisioned for carbon capture and storage of CO2. Its chemical formula remains controversial today, assigned as either a hydrated magnesium carbonate [MgCO3 ⋅ 3H2O], or a hydroxy‐ hydrated‐ magnesium bicarbonate [Mg(HCO3)OH ⋅ 2H2O]. The resolution of this controversy is central to understanding this material‘s thermodynamic, phase, and chemical behavior. In an NMR crystallography study, using rotational‐echo double‐resonance 13C{1H}… Show more

“…The EFG tensor parameters are sensitive to the local environment, which provides a metric to predict and optimize crystal structures. 86–92 In this section, we examine Cu( i ) structural insights obtained from plane-wave DFT calculations of 63/65 Cu EFG tensors in MOFs. It should be noted that the XRD crystal structures were obtained at low temperatures while our Cu NMR experiments were performed at room temperature, which could lead to discrepancies between calculated and experimental Cu NMR parameters due to issues such as temperature-dependent unit cell dimensions and dynamics.…”
