Lanthanide complexes as nuclear magnetic resonance structural probes: paramagnetic anisotropy of shift reagent adducts.
Magnetic anisotropy measurements on single crystals of a series of paramagnetic 8-coordinate lanthanide shift reagent adducts of the type Ln[(CH(3))(3)CCOCHCOC(CH(3))(3)(4-CH(3)C(5)H(1)N)(2) have been made for the following lanthanides: praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, and ytterbium. The susceptibility tensors are highly anisotropic and nonaxial. Dipolar nuclear magnetic resonance shifts evaluated from the solid-state date are in satisfactory agreement with the solution results.
