Resolution of Motions in the Three Solid Phases of Methylammonium Chloride (CH3NH3Cl) by NMR.
Abstract
The alpha, beta, and gamma phases of solid methylammonium chloride (CH3NH3Cl) and its partially deuterated analogs (CD3NH3Cl) and CH3ND3Cl) were investigated using temperature dependent static and rotating frame proton spin-lattice relaxation times, T(1) and T(1rho), respectively. Broadline proton magnetic resonance studies were performed in the supercooled gamma phases. It was found that partial deuteration causes the beta to gamma transition temperature to shift to higher temperatures. The motions in the three modifications of these substances were analyzed using the spin-lattice relaxation data and the second moments for the supercooled gamma phase. A resolution of the CH3 and NH3(+) rotations about the C-N axes was accomplished. The NMR results pertaining to the three phases of these compounds are discussed and related to other studies.
