Title: Study of the ferroelastic phase transition in the tetraethylammonium compound [N(C{sub 2}H{sub 5}){sub 4}]{sub 2}ZnBr{sub 4} by magic-angle spinning and static NMR

Abstract

The ferroelastic phase transition of tetraethylammonium compound [N(C{sub 2}H{sub 5}){sub 4}]{sub 2}ZnBr{sub 4} at the phase transition temperature (T{sub C}) = 283 K was characterized by magic-angle spinning (MAS) and static nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and confirmed by optical polarizing spectroscopy. The structural geometry near T{sub C} was studied in terms of the chemical shifts and the spin-lattice relaxation times T{sub 1ρ} in the rotating frame for {sup 1}H MAS NMR and {sup 13}C cross-polarization (CP)/MAS NMR. The two inequivalent ethyl groups were distinguishable in the {sup 13}C NMR spectrum, and the T{sub 1ρ} results indicate that they undergo tumbling motion above T{sub C} in a coupled manner. From the {sup 14}N NMR results, the two nitrogen nuclei in the N(C{sub 2}H{sub 5}){sub 4}{sup +} ions were distinguishable above T{sub C}, and the splitting in the spectra below T{sub C} was related to the ferroelastic domains with different orientations.
