Experimental and Theoretical Studies of <sup>45</sup>Sc NMR Interactions in Solids
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Solid-state 45Sc NMR spectroscopy, ab initio calculations, and X-ray crystallography are applied to examine the relationships between 45Sc NMR interactions and molecular structure and symmetry. Solid-state 45Sc (I = 7/2) magic-angle spinning (MAS) and static NMR spectra of powdered samples of Sc(acac)3, Sc(TMHD)3, Sc(NO3)3.5H2O, Sc(OAc)3, ScCl3.6H2O, ScCl3.3THF, and ScCp3 have been acquired. These systems provide a variety of scandium coordination environments yielding an array of distinct 45Sc chemical shielding (CS) and electric field gradient (EFG) tensor parameters. Acquisition of spectra at two distinct magnetic fields allows for the first observations of scandium chemical shielding anisotropy (CSA). 45Sc quadrupolar coupling constants (CQ) range from 3.9 to 13.1 MHz and correlate directly with the symmetry of the scandium coordination environment. Single-crystal X-ray structures were determined for Sc(TMHD)3, ScCl3.6H2O, and Sc(NO3)3.5H2O to establish the hitherto unknown scandium coordination environments. A comprehensive series of ab initio calculations of EFG and CS tensor parameters are in excellent agreement with the observed parameters. Theoretically determined orientations of the NMR interaction tensors allow for correlations between NMR tensor characteristics and scandium environments. Solid-state 45Sc, 13C, and 19F NMR experiments are also applied to characterize the structures of the microcrystalline Lewis acid catalyst Sc(OTf)3 (for which the crystal structure is unknown) and a noncrystalline, microencapsulated, polystyrene-supported form of the compound.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
