The orientation of the {sup 113}Cd chemical shielding tensors in single crystals of the dimer of diaquobis(2-hydroxybenzoato)cadmium(II), i.e. Cd-salicylate, and tetrakis(4-picoline)(nitrato-O,O{prime})(nitrato-O)cadmium(II), i.e. Cd-picoline, has been determined. The isotropic chemical shift was determined to be {minus}31 ppM for Cd-salicylate and +11 ppM for Cd-picoline. The space group symmetry of the Cd-salicylate crystal generates two magnetically distinct cadmium lattice sites. The assignment of each experimentally determined tensor to its respective lattice site was not possible due to the special geometry of the ligands in the lattice, which is discussed in the text. However, the two possible orientations differ only slightly and it is therefore possible to interpret the orientation with respect to the ligand identity and geometry. In either case, the most deshielded element is oriented nearly perpendicular to a plane containing two water oxygen atoms. The most shielded element is oriented nearly perpendicular to a pentagonal best least-squares (BLS) plane defined by two pairs of bidentate benzoate oxygen atoms and one monodentate benzoate oxygen atom. The crystal of Cd-picoline generates two crystallographically distinct cadmium sites in the lattice. Two methods were used independently to assign the two experimentally determined tensors to each lattice site. 22 refs., 12 figs., 5 tabs.
