X-Ray, NMR, and NQR Investigations of the Crystal Structure and Charge Distribution of Sodium Tetrachloroaluminate, NaAlCl4

Abstract: On single crystals of NaAlCl4 the NMR-and NQR-spectra of 23 Na, 27 Al, and 35 C1 were studied at room temperature. The crystal structure of NaAlCl4 has been refined. A comparison of the NMR (NQR) data with the crystal structure data shows that the electric field gradients (EFG) at the chlorine sites are mainly determined by the partial covalency of the Al-Cl bond, whereas the EFG at the aluminum sites is determined by the small deviations of the A1C14® ion from tetrahedral symmetry and by the influence of the … Show more

“…Comparison of the TLS results with the AI-CI bond directions does not show any correlation between the bond direction cosines and the principal axes of libration. Thus no AI-C1 bond plays a dominant part and consequently no particular CI...M + interaction exists, which corroborates the ionic character of all these structures; this conclusion was also reached by Scheinert & Weiss (1976) in their NMR and NQR study of NaA1C14. The A1C14 anion is also consistent with Busing & Levy's riding-motion model, as the thermal motion of the AI atom (centre of mass of the tetrahedral anion) is always lower than that of the CI atoms.…”

“…The structure of this compound is known (Baenziger, 1951) and has been refined (Scheinert & Weiss, 1976) from NMR and NQR studies of a single crystal. The results of our refinement (for conditions see Table 1) are reported in Tables 5, 6 and 7 with a different description of the structure to make the comparison with those of other alkaline salts easier.…”

“…The situation is somewhat different with inorganic compounds where total spin systems can be studied. As an example we consider 23Na27AI35CI4 (Scheinert & Weiss, 1976). In such complex salts, an interesting aspect is the bond character (bond ionicity) and NQR is a valuable method of estimating this along the MO line model developed by Townes & Dailey (1949) and Townes & Schawlow (1955).…”
