An <sup>17</sup>O NMR and Quantum Chemical Study of Monoclinic and Orthorhombic Polymorphs of Triphenylphosphine Oxide
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Solid-state (17)O NMR spectroscopy is employed to characterize powdered samples of known monoclinic and orthorhombic modifications of (17)O-enriched triphenylphosphine oxide, Ph(3)PO. Precise data on the orientation-dependent (17)O electric field gradient (EFG) and chemical shift (CS) tensors are obtained for both polymorphs. While the (17)O nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants (C(Q)) are essentially identical for the two polymorphs (C(Q) = -4.59 +/- 0.01 MHz (orthorhombic); C(Q) = -4.57 +/- 0.01 MHz (monoclinic)), the spans (Omega) of the CS tensors are distinctly different (Omega = 135 +/- 3 ppm (orthorhombic); Omega = 155 +/- 5 ppm (monoclinic)). The oxygen CS tensor is discussed in terms of Ramsey's theory and the electronic structure of the phosphorus-oxygen bond. The NMR results favor the hemipolar sigma-bonded R(3)P(+)-O(-) end of the resonance structure continuum over the multiple bond representation. Indirect nuclear spin-spin (J) coupling between (31)P and (17)O is observed directly in (17)O magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR spectra as well as in (31)P MAS NMR spectra. Ab initio and density-functional theory calculations of the (17)O EFG, CS, and (1)J((31)P,(17)O) tensors have been performed with a variety of basis sets to complement the experimental data. This work describes an interesting spin system for which the CS, quadrupolar, J, and direct dipolar interactions all contribute significantly to the observed (17)O NMR spectra and demonstrates the wealth of information which is available from NMR studies of solid materials.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
