Variable temperature high-resolution $^{19}F$ magic angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize fluorocarbon (FKM) rubbers. The high-resolution spectra of copolymers made from two monomers, vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropene, and terpolymers composed of vinylidene fluoride, hexafluoropropene, and tetrafluoroethylene, were obtained using MAS speeds of up to 18 kHz combined with high temperatures of up to 200 $^{\circ}C$ at a magnetic field strength of 9.4 Tesla. From these high resolution solid-state NMR spectra, we were able to assign the spectral peaks and differentiate the copolymer FKM from the terpolymer FKM. We also determined quantitatively the monomer compositions of each FKM rubber.

The orientational and dynamic behavior of liquid crystal molecules on the alignment layer surfaces of liquid crystal display (LCD) devices is crucial to their performance, but there are only a few methods of experimentally elucidating the interactions between the liquid crystals and the alignment layers. Inspired by the natural and technical similarities between membrane proteins in lipid bilayers and liquid crystals in LCDs, we employed solid-state NMR methodologies originally developed for the study of membrane proteins in lipid bilayers for the in-situ analysis of liquid crystal display panels. In this article, we present a home-built 500 MHz narrowbore (NB) The orientational and dynamic behavior of liquid crystal molecules on the alignment layer surfaces of liquid crystal display (LCD) devices is crucial to their performance, but there are only a few methods of experimentally elucidating the interactions between the liquid crystals and the alignment layers.

Lithium is a highly attractive material for high-energy-concentration batteries, since it has low weight and high potential. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which have the extremely high gravimetric and volumetric energy densities, are currently the most preferable power sources for future electric vehicles and various portable electronic devices. In order to improve the efficiency and lifetime, new electrode compounds for lithium intercalation or insertion have been investigated for rechargeable batteries. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a very useful tool to investigate the structural changes in electrode materials in actual working lithium-ion batteries. To detect the in-situ microstructural changes of electrode and electrolyte materials, $^7Li-^{19}F$ double-resonance solid-state NMR probe with a static solenoidal coil for a 600-MHz narrow-bore magnet was designed, constructed, and tested successfully.

Various fluorine-containing materials are used in electronic devices like LCD display panels and Li-ion batteries. The structural conformation of fluorine in fluorinated materials is an important contributing factor that influences the chemical and physical properties. The conformation can be changed by heat and stress during manufacture or use. Understanding the conformational changes is critical for understanding the performance and durability of electronic devices. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy could be widely used for the analysis of various fluorine-containing materials for electronic devices. However, conventional CPMAS probes cannot be used for in-situ analysis of fluorine-containing electronic devices like LCD panels and Li-ion batteries. In this paper, we show the design, construction, and optimization of a $^{19}F-^{13}C$ double-resonance solid-state NMR probe for a 400MHz wide-bore magnet with a flat square coil for in-situ analysis of fluorine-containing electronic devices without observing fluorine background signals. This custom-built probe does not show any fluorine background signals, and can have higher efficiency for lossy samples.

The molecular structure and dynamics of inclusion compounds (ICs) consisting of n-perfluoroalkane (PFA) guests and ${\Box}-cyclodextrin$ (${\Box}-CD$) host were investigated using $^{19}F$ magic angle spinning (MAS) and $^{1}H{\to}^{19}F$ cross polarization (CP) / MAS NMR spectroscopy with the aid of thermal analyses, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and $^{1}H{\to}^{19}F$ CP/MAS technique revealed that $C_{9}F_{20}$ molecules included in ${\Box}-CD$ undergo vigorous molecular motion and partly come out of the ${\Box}-CD$ channel above $80^{\circ}C$. In case of $C_{20}F_{42}/{\Box}-CD$, an exothermic peak is observed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at ca. $40^{\circ}C$ which suggests that ${\Box}-CD$ molecules become mobile and commence rearrangements that form more ordered structures at higher temperatures.

Fluorine-doped YBaS12TCuS13TOS17-xTFS1yT superconducting materials with y varing two orders of magnitude form 0.02 to 2.0 have been prepared by a sol-gel process by using metal nitrate salts, sodium hydroxide and sodium fluoride. Fluorine contents have been measured using an ion-selective electrode. All fluorine doped as reactant were found to be present in the resulted samples. From the observation of XRD it has been concluded that the samples with y 0.2 formed simply the single phase of perovskite structure, whereas those with y 0.5 yielded together some compounds such as BaFS12T, YFS13T and CuO in the resulted samples. The observation of solid state S019TF NMR has been carried out in order to check whether fluorine was actually incorporated into the lattice sites, and the experimental results revealed that the mole ratio of fluorine incorporated into the lattice sites of YBaS12TCuS13TOS17-xT was approximately 0.2 per mole of the compound. Also electrical resistivity measurement indicated that onset transition temperature has the tendency to increase slightly with increasing y in the dilute region as y 0.2.

$Pt(2,6-(Cy_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3)(OTf)\;(OTf=CF_3SO_3^-)$ readily reacts with various amines to afford cationic amine complexes $[Pt(2,6-(Cy_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3)(amine)](OTf)\;(amine=NH_3,\;NHMe_2,\;NHC_4H_8,\;NH_2Ph,\;NH_2(Tol-p))$ in high yields. These complexes have been fully characterized by IR, $^1H-,\;^{19}F{^1H}-,\;and\;^{31}P{^1H}-NMR$ spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. Reaction of $Pt(2,6-(Cy_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3)(OTf)$ with acrylonitrile quantitatively produced the ${\pi}$-olefinic complex $Pt(2,6-(Cy_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3)(CH_2=CHCN)](OTf)$ which is only stable in solution in the presence of acrylonitrile. Attempt at isolating this complex in the pure solid state was failed due to partial decomposition into $Pt(2,6-(Cy_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3)(OTf)$ The equilibrium constants $(K_{eq}=[Pt(PCP)-(NH_2R)^+][CH_2=CHCN]/[Pt(PCP)(CH_2=CHCN)^+][NH_2R]:\;[Pt(2,6-(Cy_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3)(CH_2=CHCN)]^++NH_2R{\rightleftarrows}[Pt(2,6-(Cy_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3)(NH_2R)]^++CH_2=CHCN=Ph,\;p-tolyl)$ were calculated to be 0.28 (for R = Ph) and 3.1 (R = p-tolyl) at $21^{\circ}C$. The relative stability of the ${\sigma}$-donor amine versus the ${\pi}$-olefinic acrylonitrile complex has been found largely dependent upon the amine-basicity $(pK_b)$, implicating that acrylonitrile practically competes with amine in the platinum coordination sphere. On the contrary to the formation of the acrylonitrile complex, no reaction of $Pt(2,6-(Cy_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3)(OTf)$ with other olefins such as ethylene, styrene and methyl acrylate was observed.
