Article Abstract

Ultrafast multidimensional NMR acquisition techniques have shown promising capabilities in studies of dynamic systems in real time. The method's characteristics have permitted the focus to be on the mechanistic details of organic reactions. The tandem UF-TOCSY/HMBC sequence applied here combines both homonuclear and heteronuclear details and therefore provides complete information about the evolution of a dynamic reaction in real time. The methodology will be applied to find an explanation of the low reactivity of alicyclic ketones such as cyclohexanone in reactions with triflic anhydride and aliphatic nitriles, which leads to bicyclic pyrimidines.

Understanding the role of structural and environmental dynamics in the excited state properties of strongly coupled chromophores is of paramount importance in molecular photonics. Ultrafast, coherent, and multidimensional spectroscopies have been utilized to investigate such dynamics in the simplest model system, the molecular dimer. Here, we present a half-broadband two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (HB2DES) study of the previously reported ultrafast symmetry-breaking charge separation (SB-CS) in the subphthalocyanine oxo-bridged homodimer μ-OSubPc.

In solid-state NMR, dipolar-based heteronuclear polarization transfer has been extensively used for sensitivity enhancement and multidimensional correlations, but its efficiency often suffers from undesired spin interactions and hardware limitations. Herein, we propose a novel dipolar-echo edited R-symmetry (DEER) sequence, which is further incorporated into the INEPT-type scheme, dubbed DEER-INEPT, for achieving highly efficient heteronuclear polarization transfer. Numerical simulations and NMR experiments demonstrate that DEER-INEPT offers significantly improved robustness, enabling efficient polarization transfer under a wide range of MAS conditions, from slow to ultrafast rates, outperforming existing methods.

Nonadiabatic dynamics simulations complement time-resolved experiments by revealing ultrafast excited-state mechanistic information in photochemical reactions. Understanding the relaxation mechanisms of photoexcited molecules finds application in energy, material, and medicinal research. However, with substantial computational costs, the nonadiabatic dynamics simulations have been restricted to ultrafast timescales, typically less than a few picoseconds, thus neglecting a wide range of photoactivated processes occurring in much longer timescales.

Background: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is extensively utilized in research as a non-invasive technique for investigating molecular structures and composite components. The spatiotemporal encoding (SPEN) technique effectively accelerates multi-dimensional NMR experiments. In ultrafast SPEN NMR, the acquired data are divided into odd and even segments corresponding to the positive and negative gradients during the decoding stage, respectively.
