  • probing hydrogen bonding and ion Carbonyl interactions by solid state 17o nmr spectroscopy g ribbon and g quartet
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2007
    Co-Authors: Irene C M Kwan
    Abstract:

    We report solid-state 17O NMR determination of the 17O NMR tensors for the keto Carbonyl Oxygen (O6) of guanine in two 17O-enriched guanosine derivatives:  [6-17O]guanosine (G1) and 2‘,3‘,5‘-O-triacetyl-[6-17O]guanosine (G2). In G1·2H2O, guanosine molecules form hydrogen-bonded G-ribbons where the guanine bases are linked by O6···H−N2 and N7···H−N7 hydrogen bonds in a zigzag fashion. In addition, the keto Carbonyl Oxygen O6 is also weakly hydrogen-bonded to two water molecules of hydration. The experimental 17O NMR tensors determined for the two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of G1·2H2O are:  Molecule A, CQ = 7.8 ± 0.1 MHz, ηQ = 0.45 ± 0.05, δiso = 263 ± 2, δ11 = 460 ± 5, δ22 = 360 ± 5, δ33 = −30 ± 5 ppm; Molecule B, CQ = 7.7 ± 0.1 MHz, ηQ = 0.55 ± 0.05, δiso = 250 ± 2, δ11 = 440 ± 5, δ22 = 340 ± 5, δ33 = −30 ± 5 ppm. In G1/K+ gel, guanosine molecules form extensively stacking G-quartets. In each G-quartet, four guanine bases are linked together by four pairs of O6···H−N1 and N7···H−N2 hydro...

  • solid state 17o nmr investigation of the Carbonyl Oxygen electric field gradient tensor and chemical shielding tensor in amides
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2000
    Co-Authors: Kazuhiko Yamada, And Shuan Dong
    Abstract:

    We have presented a systematic experimental and theoretical investigation of the Carbonyl Oxygen electric-field-gradient (EFG) tensor and chemical shielding (CS) tensor in crystalline amides. Three 17O-labled secondary amides, R1C[17O]-NHR2, have been synthesized:  benzanilide (1), N-methylbenzamide (2), and acetanilide (3). Analysis of 17O magic-angle spinning (MAS) and stationary NMR spectra yields not only the magnitude but also the orientation of the Carbonyl 17O EFG and CS tensors. For compounds 1−3, the Carbonyl 17O quadrupolar coupling constant (QCC) and the span of the chemical shift tensor are found to be in the range of 8.5−8.97 MHz and 560−630 ppm, respectively. The largest 17O EFG component lies in the amide plane and is perpendicular to the CO bond, whereas the smallest component is perpendicular to the N−CO plane. For the Carbonyl 17O CS tensor, the principal component with the largest shielding, δ33, is perpendicular to the amide plane, and the tensor component corresponding to the least sh...
