“…This is the method by which nonrigidity or fluxionality is generally detected Fluxional molecule: a stereochemically nonrigid molecule in which all interconverting structures are equivalent Stereochemically nonrigid compound: a compound that undergoes intramolecular rearrangements at rates that affect the NMR line shapes in generally accessible temperature ranges Stereodynamics: dynamics associated with interconversion of stereoisomers or conformers Abbreviations DNMR = dynamic NMR; T c = coalescence temperature; T I = temperature at which initial broadening occurs in a DNMR spectrum; T LL = low temperature at which broadening is no longer observed in a DNMR spectrum (usually 5 -10 • C below T I ); T 1 = spin -lattice relaxation time; EXSY = 2D NMR method for evaluating exchange sites and rates; PSEXSY = phase-sensitive EXSY; HMQC = Indirect method for observing NMR of low abundance nuclei, such as 15 N, 57 Fe, 13 C, and so on, using the coupling to a sensitive nucleus, often 1 H; NOESY = Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy, a 2D NMR method for assignment of resonances based on proximity; SIT = Spin Inversion Transfer; sp = square pyramidal; tbp = trigonal bipyramidal; Tp = hydrido(trispyrazolylborate); Tp = hydridotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolylborate).…”
