15 Jun 2006 | Subject: | Materials Science | Abstract: | The aim of this article is to assess the ability of chemical shift surfaces to provide structural information on conformational distributions of disaccharides in glassy solid state. The validity of the general method leading to a simulation of inhomogeneous 13C chemical shift distributions is discussed in detail. In particular, a proper consideration of extrema and saddle points of the chemical shift map correctly accounts for the observed discontinuities in the experimental CPMAS spectra. Provided that these basic requirements are met, DFT/GIAO chemical shift maps calculated on relaxed conformations lead to a very satisfactory description of the experimental lineshapes. On solid-state trehalose as a model of amorphous disaccharide, this simulation approach defines unambiguously the most populated sugar conformation in the glass, and can help in discriminating the validity of different models of intramolecular energy landscape. Application to other molecular systems with broad conformational populations is foreseen to produce a larger dependence of the calculated chemical shift distribution on the conformational map. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0606405 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
