Abstract
The proton magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra of Ca(NH3)6, Ba(NH3)6, and Li(NH3)4 have been recorded in the temperature range 20-150 K using a broad-line, symmetrical-bridge spectrometer. In the hexaammines very narrow first-derivative line widths are observed (<2.5 G in the range 20-150 K). Significant changes occur in the 1H NMR spectra of Ca(NH3)6 in the ranges 20-50, 60-80, and 100-130 K, whereas in Ba(NH3)6 changes occur between 70 and 100 K and above 140 K. The line width and its temperature dependence are interpreted in terms of structure, phase transitions, and molecular motion. In the high-temperature region very large, temperature-independent, high-field shifts of about 0.3 G (160 ppm) have been measured in both Ca(NH3)6 and Ba(NH3)6. The shifts are tentatively interpreted in terms of indirect coupling of the type found in aromatic radicals.
