Zr-91 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of Solid Zirconium Halides at High Magnetic Field
Zr-91 solid-state NMR spectra of zirconium halides and several fluorozirconates have been obtained at high magnetic fields up to 30 T using both the Hahn-Echo and the Quadrupolar Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill sequences combined with the broadband Variable Offset Cumulative Spectrum technique. For the zirconium halides, the Zr-91 isotropic chemical shift covers a range of about 2000 ppm and shows a good correlation with Pauling's electronegativity and ionic potential of the halogen. For the fluorozirconate samples, in which the Zr atoms exhibit various coordination polyhedra, increasing the Zr coordination number and the mean Zr-F bond length leads to an increased isotropic shielding. In the studied compounds the Zr-91 quadrupolar coupling constants (C-Q's) range from 10.6 to 44.7 MHz. For 6-fold coordinated Zr sites, a correlation between C-Q and the shear strain of the octahedron is observed, and we investigate the relationship between the C-Q and the distortion of the polyhedron for 8-fold coordinated Zr sites using different distortion criteria.
