摘要
We present an 27Al NMR study of the metal cluster compound Al50Cp*12 which is composed of (identical) Al50 clusters, each surrounded by a Cp* ligand shell, and arranged in a crystalline 3D array (here Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl = C5(CH3)5). The compound is found to be non-conducting, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation in the temperature range 100–300 K being predominantly due to reorientational motions of the Cp* rings. These lead to a pronounced maximum in the relaxation rate at T ∼ 170 K, corresponding to an activation energy of about 850 K. Data for the related compound Al4Cp*4, containing very much smaller Al4 clusters are also presented. A comparison is drawn with the quadrupolar relaxation recently observed for the non-conducting fraction of Ga84 molecules in the metal cluster compound Ga84[N(SiMe3)2]20-Li6Br2(thf)20·2toluene.
