Natural abundance oxygen-17 solid-state NMR of metal organic frameworks enhanced by dynamic nuclear polarization

Abstract

The 17O resonances of zirconium-oxo clusters that can be found in porous Zr carboxylate metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been investigated by magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy enhanced by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). High-resolution 17O spectra at 0.037% natural abundance could be obtained in 48 hours, thanks to DNP enhancement of the 1H polarization by factors ε(1H) = Swith/Swithout = 28, followed by 1H → 17O cross-polarization, allowing a saving in experimental time by a factor of ca. 800. The distinct 17O sites from the oxo-clusters can be resolved at 18.8 T. Their assignment is supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations of chemical shifts and quadrupolar parameters. Protonation of 17O sites seems to be leading to large characteristic shifts. Hence, natural abundance 17O NMR spectra of diamagnetic MOFs can thus be used to probe and characterize the local environment of different 17O sites on an atomic scale.
