Popis: In this paper, we present a variable temperature (2)H solid-state NMR investigation of cryptophane-E:chloroform and cryptophane-E:dichloromethane inclusion complexes. The (2)H line shapes and nuclear spin relaxation rates were analyzed in terms of the distribution of C-D bond orientations and the time scale of the guest dynamics. It was found that encaged chloroform produces broad (2)H spectra, and that its reorientation is relatively slow with a correlation time of approximately 0.17 mus at 292 K. In contrast, the (2)H line shapes of encaged dichloromethane are narrow and the motion of this guest molecule is fast with a correlation time of approximately 1.4 ps at 283 K. The (2)H NMR data were complemented by an X-ray diffraction study of the cryptophane-E:dichloromethane structure, which was utilized in the analysis of the NMR parameters.
