Pressure effects on t H chemical shifts and rekaation rates in organic solvents containing the nitroxide radical have been observed. ‘H chemical shifts with pressure and pressure-broadenings for hydrogenbondingbetweenproton-donormolecules and the nitroxide radical have been observed.
There have been several NMR studies [l-5] on dynamic and static properties of organic .nolecules in the liquid state at high pressure_ These experiments on high-pressure NMR have shown that the technique provides a useful tool for studying the behavior of solvent molecules.. We are also interested in high pressure NMR methods to investigate chemical phenomena associated with intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and charge-transfer interactions_ We have studied pressure effects on proton chemical shifts and rehtxation times in liquids containing paramagnetic substances, and in this letter, we describe preliminary rest&s of ‘H NMR chemical shifts with pressure and pressure-line-broaden&s for hydrogen-bonded protons [6] in protic solvent moIecuIes (protondonor molecules) in interaction with nitroxide radicals. Measurements were made at 60 MHz and 35°C up to 10: bar, with a Hitachi cw NMR (R-24) spectrometer- CyIohe_xane was used as the internal reference since the chemical-shift difference between the internal and external cydohexane protons was independent of pressure within experimental error. Resolution of proton signals was maintained at 2 Hz at half-height_ The accuracy in the shift is f 1 Hz The line shape of t H spectra is assumed to be Iorentzian. AU T?‘s were evahrated from signal widths at half-height. The high * Present address: Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Kyoto L’niversity. Kyoto. Japan

pressure glass sample cell was prepared by the method of Yamada [7] _ The glass capillary was connected to a high-pressureunit. We first investigated the pressure effects on iH resonance positions in pure organic solvent molecules. The protons of protic solvent molecules (CH,OIH and CIFJ%J experienced down-field shifts with increasing pressure (density), while aprotic protons (CtI-&OH, C6t& and C6t&) were almost unaffected_ The results for methanol are in good accord with the down-field shifts obtained by Oldenziel and Trappeniers [43 _The down-field shifts of protic solvents are caused by hydrogen bonding [3,4] or chemical association [5] between diamagnetic solvent molecules which approach more closely with increasing density. Fig_ I shows the pressure dependence of proton chemical shifts in protic solvents mixed with the di-tert-butyl nitroxide radical (DTBN)_ The slope of the iH chemical shift-pressure plot for CHCI, changes from negative (down-BeId) to positive (up-field) with Increasing pressure as the concentration of the radical is increased_ This result is interpreted as follows: In DTBN solutions of protic substances at high pressure, we measure both down-tieId and up-field shifts at the same time; the down-field shift depends on the formation of a hydrogen bond or chemical association between sohent molecules, while the up-fie!d shift is explained in terms of fgrmstion of a hydrogen bond [6] between

the protic substance and DTBN_ For this protic solventDTBN hydrogen-bond system it was shown [6] that addition of a slight amount of DTBN produced an up-field shift reflecting increased shielding of the proton caused by the electron-donor molecule DTBN. Therefore, increasing density at the higher concentration of the radical in protic solvents brings up-field shifts which are interpreted in terms of increased protom shielding (increase of negative spin density at the solvent proton induced by hydrogen bonding with DTBN) on formation of the hydrogen bond between the protic solvent molecule and DTBN_ We have also observed the pressure dependence of 1H relaxation rates in organic solvents involving DTBN Fig_ 2 shows the pressure-broadening of the IH spectrum for ClljCI, containing DTBN. We plot 1H relaxation rates versus pressure for DTBN solutions of organic solvent molecules in fig. 3, where the relaxation rates are compared with Q for the pure solvents versus pressure [S ] since the viscosity changes with pressure_ Thus, in the case of aprotic solvent-DTBN systems the plots of ln(No/NT2) versus Pand lnq

These results for viscosity dependence of relaxation rates with pressure seem to be in good accord with viscosity dependence of rekrxation rates with tempemture [9]_ We expIain these results in the foliowing terms: In organic solven t-DTBN radical systems. the simplified equations [9] for the dominant rektxation rate may be expressed as
