Abstract
Lithiumcyclopentadienide, previously identified to be an endless polymer in the ligand-free solid state, was investigated by 13C- and 6Li-CP/MAS NMR spectra, and by B3LYP-GIAO theoretical calculations. By spectra simulation, the axially symmetric 13C-shift tensor components were identified to be δ11 = δ22 = 151.5ppm, δ33 = 15.5ppm. The 6Li-tensor components are δ11 = δ22 = +1.0ppm, δ33 = -43.0ppm. This extremely high field component is due to cumulative ring current effects. B3LYP-GIAO/TZVP calculations on the tensor principal components agree remarkably well with the measurements. A new and very simple method of preparing air-sensitive compounds for solid-state NMR analyses is described.
