✦ Synopsis


Squaric acid (3,4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione) is suggested as an internal standard for temperature measurements in 13C MAS NMR studies in the temperature range from 373 K to 520 K. Compared to previously utilized standards, squaric acid has several important advantages, such as fast kinetics of the phase transition, higher temperature range for 13C studies, and an almost constant sample volume through the transition temperature range. Thus, we found squaric acid to be suitable for the probe calibration with the reference temperature at 373.2 K. Moreover, upon partial deuteration the reference temperature can be gradually increased to 520 K. Additionally, the described procedure makes it possible to quantitatively estimate the temperature gradient across the sample. We also discuss the effect of spinning related stress on the temperature measurement technique and how this effect could be minimized.

Paramagnetic vanadocene gives easily recordable 1H and 13C solid-state NMR signals which are shifted by more than 300 and 500 ppm (to high and low frequency, at room temperature), respectively. The strong temperature dependence of these shifts is the basis of new NMR signal shift thermometers for so
