D. Padro et al., Determination of titanium NMR parameters of ATiO(3) compounds: correlations with structural distortion, SOL ST NUCL, 15(4), 2000, pp. 231-236
Solid state Ti-47,Ti-49 NMR spectra have been obtained for a number of pelo
vskite and ilmenite ATiO(3) compounds. The Ti-49 quadrupole coupling consta
nt varies from 2.75 MHz (CaTiO3) to 15.5 MHz (MgTiO3) and the electric fiel
d gradient at the titanium site was found to correlate well with the shear
strain, independent of structure. The chemical shift in the perovskite stru
ctures varies by similar to 160 ppm and correlates well with the mean Ti-O
distance. The Mg-25 and Cd-113 NMR parameters are also reported for the rel
evant compounds. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
