NMR AND SOLVATION OF IONS IN NON-AQUEOUS SOLVENTS

Solvation of ions as a microscopic property is understood to be given by certain time independent and time dependent probability functions which describe the structure and internal dynamics around the ions in a heap of mass points representing ions and solvent species in the liquid state. It is shown in an abbreviated and simple form in which way the three macroscopic observables ω, T1, T2 characterizing one of the nuclear magnetizations of the solution give a partial and truncated picture of the microscopic object of interest here. Interpretation of chemical shift data very often is rendered more difficult by the fact that the local microscopic magnetic field is determined by the electron density, for the nuclear magnetic relaxation data this is the case to a much lesser degree. Literature references referring to nonaqueous solutions are given as examples for the basic relations outlined where for reasons of room detailed discussion is not possible. © 2013, Walter de Gruyter.
