Abstract

The first-order and second-order quadrupolar shifts of the 45Sc nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum were investigated in the range of 4 to 300 K in relation to the structural phase transitions of Sc(CH3COO)3 and Sc(CD3COO)3. It was found that the transition temperature (re) of the deuterated compound was lower (158 K) than that of the protonated compound (167 K). Below the transition temperature, two sets of first-order quadrupolar shifts in the 45Sc NMR spectrum were clearly distinguished, which correspond to the two different sites of scandium ions in the crystal. The magnitude of the splitting, (Ivq), between the two different shifts decreased upon heating to exhibiting the critical phenomena described by the formula.
