NMR study of solid C60(gamma-cyclodextrin)2.
A solid complex of C60 with gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CyD) was examined with NMR spectroscopic methods in order to understand the dynamics of C60, and the interaction between C60 and gamma-CyD. A 13C solid-state cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR spectra shows C60 resonance at 142.6 ppm. This provides the evidence of interaction between 13C spins in C60 and 1H spins in the gamma-CyD host. Ambient temperature experiments on the 13C CP/MAS NMR, with varying contact time, shows that the water associated with gamma-CyDs plays an important role in the nuclear relaxation processes. The dynamics of C60 in gamma-CyD was investigated using temperature and field-dependent 13C spin-lattice relaxation time measurements. The influence of water on the dynamics of C60 was less significant below 250 K.
