Investigation of CO₂ Orientational Dynamics through Simulated NMR Line Shapes*.

ABSTRACT: The dynamics of carbon dioxide in third generation (i. e., flexible) Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) can be experimentally observed by ¹³ C NMR spectroscopy. The obtained line shapes directly correlate with the motion of the adsorbed CO₂ , which in turn are readily available from classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In this article, we present our publicly available implementation of an algorithm to calculate NMR line shapes from MD trajectories in a matter of minutes on any current personal computer. We apply the methodology to study an effect observed experimentally when adsorbing CO₂ in different samples of the pillared layer MOF Ni₂ (ndc)₂ (dabco) (ndc=2,6-naphthalene-dicarboxylate, dabco=1,4-diazabicyclo-[2.2.2]-octane),
