Electronegativity and location of anionic ligands drive yttrium NMR for molecular, surface and solid-state structures.

ABSTRACT: Yttrium is present in various forms in molecular compounds and solid-state structures; it typically provides specific mechanical and optical properties. Hence, yttrium containing compounds are used in a broad range of applications such as catalysis, lasers and optical devices. Obtaining descriptors that can provide access to a detailed structure-property relationship would therefore be a strong base for the rational design of such applications. Towards this goal, ⁸⁹Y (100% abundant spin ½ nucleus), is associated with a broad range of NMR chemical shifts that greatly depend on the coordination environment of Y, rendering ⁸⁹Y NMR an attractive method for the characterization of yttrium containing compounds. However, to date, it has been difficult to obtain a direct rela
