“…A Herzfeld-Berger analysis 34 of the sideband pattern for the two inequivalent phosphorus sites in MPy results in chemical shift anisotropies of (δ 11 , δ 22 , δ 33 ) ) (65, -8, -86) ( 2 ppm and (67, -11, -91) ( 2 ppm, which are in good agreement with literature data for dihydrogen pyrophosphate salts, further substantiating the assignments. 35,36 The 13 C CP-MAS spectrum of MPy (not shown here) shows two resonances (2:1) identical with the 13 C spectrum of MP, 14,15 leading to the conclusion that the carbon atoms in the melamine ring are inequivalent, in line with protonation of one endocyclic nitrogen per melamine, thus leaving the protonation scheme from MP to MPy unchanged.…”
