title: One- and two-dimensional 15N exchange CP/MAS NMR studies of the structure and electronic properties of the intermolecular N-H...N hydrogen bond in imidazole crystal.
abstract: The hydrogen bond of the type N-H...N in imidazole crystal has been studied by one and two-dimensional 15N exchange CP/MAS NMR measurements as well as the powder NMR spectrum. The chemical shift anisotropies for -N= and -N< were determined from the powder 1D spectrum. In 2D exchange CP/MAS NMR spectrum, the cross peaks between the 15N main resonance peaks for -N= and -N< were observed, implying that magnetization exchange between -N= and -N< takes place. The 1D exchange CP/MAS NMR measurements determined the exchange rate of magnetization at 289 K to be 1.3 and 1.5 s(-1) for -N= and -N<, respectively. The proton-driven spin-diffusion model interprets the experimental values, and the exchange rate depends strongly on the RF power of the proton decoupling field, suggesting that the magnetization transfer between -N= and -N< takes place by the 1H-driven spin-diffusion mechanism.
