Motions of Trimethylphosphine Oxide in Carbon Nanotubes as Revealed by Solid‐state NMR

Trimethylphosphine (TMP) has been adsorbed in carbon nanotubes and oxidized to trimethylphosphine oxide (TMPO). 31P spin–lattice relaxation T1 measurements at temperatures from 203 to 333 K have been employed to investigate the motions of TMPO. The 31P T1 is found to be monoexponential and isotropic. The activation energy is measured as 4.4 ± 0.3 kcal•mol−1, which is comparable to that of TMP adsorbed on Lewis acid sites in zeolites.
