Paramagnetic Effects in NMR Spectroscopy of Transition-Metal Complexes: Principles and Chemical Concepts

Original language description

Magnetic resonance techniques represent a fundamental class of spectroscopic methods used in physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) is an extremely powerful technique for characterizing systems with an open-shell electronic nature, whereas Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has traditionally been used to investigate diamagnetic (closed-shell) systems. However, these two techniques are tightly connected by the electron–nucleus hyperfine interaction operating in paramagnetic (open-shell) systems. Hyperfine interaction of the nuclear spin with unpaired electron(s) induces large temperature-dependent shifts of nuclear resonance frequencies that are designated as hyperfine NMR shifts (deltaHF). Three fundamental physical mechanisms shape the total hyperfine interaction – Fermi-contact, paramagnetic spin-orbit, and spin-dipolar. The corresponding hyperfine NMR contributions can be interpreted in terms of through-bond and through-space effects. In this account, we provide an elemental theory behind the hyperfine interaction and NMR shifts and describe recent progress in understanding the structural and electronic principles underlying individual hyperfine terms. The Fermi-contact (FC) mechanism reflects the propagation of electron-spin density throughout the molecule and is proportional to the spin density at the nuclear position. As the imbalance in spin density can be thought of as originating at the paramagnetic metal center and being propagated to the observed nucleus via chemical bonds, the FC is an excellent indicator of the bond character. The paramagnetic spin-orbit (PSO) mechanism originates in the orbital current density generated by the spin-orbit coupling interaction at the metal center. The PSO mechanism of the ligand NMR shift then reflects the transmission of the spin polarization through bonds, similar to the FC mechanism, but it also makes a substantial through-space contribution in long-range situations. In contrast, the spin-dipolar (SD) mechanism is relatively unimportant at short-range, with significant spin polarization on the spectator atom. The PSO and SD mechanisms combine at long-range to form the so-called pseudocontact shift, traditionally used as a structural and dynamics probe in paramagnetic NMR (pNMR). Note that the PSO and SD terms both contribute to the isotropic NMR shift only at the relativistic spin-orbit level of theory. We demonstrate the advantages of calculating and analyzing the NMR shifts at relativistic two- and four-component levels of theory and present analytical tools and approaches based on perturbation theory. We show that paramagnetic NMR effects can be interpreted by spin-delocalization and spin-polarization mechanisms related to chemical bond concepts of electron conjugation in π-space and hyperconjugation in σ-space in the framework of Molecular Orbital (MO) theory. Further, we discuss the effects of environment (supramolecular interactions, solvent, crystal packing) and demonstrate applications of hyperfine shifts in determining the structure of paramagnetic Ru(III) compounds and their supramolecular host-guest complexes with macrocycles. In conclusion, we provide a short overview of possible pNMR applications in the analysis of spectra and electronic structure and perspectives in this field for a general chemical audience.
