Fluorine-19 solid state NMR study of vinylidenefluoride polymers using selective relaxation filters (original) (raw)
2006, Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Two fluoropolymers, poly(vinylidenefluoride) (PVDF) and a vinylidenefluoride telomer (VDFT), with molecular weights of 1 Â 10 6 and 2 Â 10 3 Da by GPC, respectively, have been analysed by 19 F solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Relaxation-filtered proton-decoupled magic-angle spinning (MAS) experiments, namely T 1r filter, dipolar filter (DF), direct-polarisation delayed acquisition (DPDA) and discrimination induced by variable-amplitude minipulses (DIVAM), allowed signals in the direct polarisation (DP) spectra of PVDF and the VDFT to be discussed in terms of rigid and mobile domains. Both samples showed signals, which were multi-componential, but they differ in the nature of the crystalline form present. Thus, the Vinylidenefluoride (VDF) telomer exhibited a crystalline component corresponding to b PVDF, whereas the PVDF contained crystallites of the a form. Signals relating to end groups and reverse units, plus an anomalous signal displaying long-time transverse relaxation in the DPDA spectrum, were found for both polymers, though they showed diversity in chemical shift and content. Signals related to reverse units and/or end groups were seen between approximately À115 and approximately À117 ppm for both samples. High-speed MAS at higher magnetic field resulted in an increase in resolution so that signals previously attributed to single-phase characteristics are shown to indicate the possibility of several different mobilities. The results are debated with respect to molecular weight and relaxation parameters. r

(CH3)4NPF6 is studied by NMR measurements to understand the internal motions and cross relaxation mechanism between the heterogeneous nuclei. The spin lattice relaxation times (T1) are measured for 1H and 19F nuclei, at three (11.4, 16.1 and 21.34 MHz) Larmor frequencies in the temperature range 350–50 K and 1H NMR second moment measurements at 7 MHz in the temperature range 300–100 K employing home made pulsed and wide-line NMR spectrometers. 1H NMR results are attributed to the simultaneous reorientations of both methyl and tetramethylammonium groups and motional parameters are evaluated. 19F NMR results are attributed to cross relaxation between proton and fluorine and motional parameters for the PF6 group reorientation are evaluated.

The paramagnetic dipolar spin-lattice relaxation of nuclear spins is expressed in terms of the geometrical and dynamical parameters of the molecules and used to analyze the intra-and intermolecular microdynamics. The possible conformational changes of a TEMPOL nitroxide-labelled sugar in deuterated chloroform are studied and then the intermolecular processes are considered. The influence of the discrete polar natures of acetonitrile, chloroform, and methanol on the TEMPOL solvation dynamics is recognized. The importance of the water structure on the collisional approach of two attractive ions is emphasized. Finally, the attractive effects of the dipole-dipole electrostatic forces are shown for the water/TEMPOL pair. Diffusion and jump analytical theories, integral equations of statistical mechanics, and Monte-Carlo simulations of the diffusion are combined to treat the anisotropic interactions and the many-body effects.
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance study of relaxation processes in MEH-PPV
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance methods were used to study molecular dynamics of MEH-PPV at different frequency ranges varying from 1 Hz to 100 MHz. The results showed that in the 213 to 323 K temperature range, the motion in the polymer backbone is predominantly slow ͑Hz-kHz͒ involving small angle librations, which occurs with a distribution of correlation times. In the side chain, two motional regimes were identified: Intermediate regime motion ͑1-50 kHz͒ for all chemical groups and, additionally, fast rotation ͑ϳ100 MHz͒ for the terminal CH 3 group. A correlation between the motional parameters and the photoluminescent behaviors as a function of temperature was observed and is discussed.

13C nuclear magnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation times (T,) and nuclear Overhauser enhancement factors 13C{'H} (NOEf) have been measured on solutions of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(ethylene isophthalate) (PEI) and poly(ethylene isophthalate-co-terephthalate) (PEIT) in d,-tetrachloroethane. The T, and NOEf values are well described by a logX* distribution of correlation times, while the isotropic model appears to be inadequate. The average correlation times (TV) and the distribution parameters (p) of carbons and protons show features that are explained by invoking rotations and/or oscillations of terephthalic and isophthalic rings around the Cl-C4 axis.
