Abstract
High-resolution, solid-state 11B NMR spectra have been obtained at high magnetic fields for a range of polycrystalline borates using double-rotation (DOR), multiple-quantum magic angle spinning and isotopic dilution. DOR linewidths can be less than 0.2 ppm in isotopically diluted samples, allowing highly accurate values for the isotropic chemical shift, δiso, and electric field gradient to be obtained. The experimental values are used as a test of density functional calculations using both projector augmented wave based CASTEP and WIEN2k. The CASTEP calculations of δiso are generally in very good agreement with experiment, having r.m.s. deviation 0.40 ppm. WIEN2k calculations of electric field gradient magnitude, CQ, and asymmetry, η, are also in excellent agreement with experiment, with r.m.s. deviations 0.038 MHz and 0.042 respectively. However, whilst CASTEP gives a similar deviation for η (0.043) it overestimates CQ by [similar]15%. After scaling of the calculated electric field gradient by 0.842 the deviation in CQ is practically identical to that of the WIEN2k calculations. The spectral assignments that follow from the experimental and computational results allow identification of correlations between δiso and (a) the average B–O–B bond angle, θ[θ with combining overline], for both three and four coordinated boron, giving δiso(BIII) = (185.1 − θ[θ with combining overline])/3.42 ppm and δiso(BIV) = (130.2 − θ[θ with combining overline])/5.31 ppm; and (b) the ring-site T3 unit trigonal planar angular deviation, Stri, giving δiso(T3(ring)) = (1.642 × 10−2 − Stri)/(8.339 × 10−4) ppm.
