N2 - We report a complete set of high-resolution solid-state NMR spectra for all magnetic nuclei (1H, 13C, 17O, and 27Al) in the α-form of tris(2,4-pentanedionato-O,O′)aluminium(III), α-Al(acac)3. These high-resolution NMR spectra were obtained by using a host of solid-state NMR techniques: standard cross-polarization under the magic-angle spinning (CPMAS) method for 13C, 1-D homonuclear decoupling using the windowed DUMBO sequence for 1H, double-rotation (DOR) for 17O and 27Al, and multiple-quantum MAS for 27Al. Some experiments were performed at multiple magnetic fields. We show that the isotropic chemical shifts obtained for 1H, 13C, 17O, and 27Al nuclei in α-Al(acac)3 are highly resolved and accurate, regardless of the nature of the targeted nuclear spins (i.e., spin-1/2 or quadrupolar) and, as such, can be treated equally in comparison with computational chemical shifts obtained from a gauge-including projector-augmented wave (GIPAW) plane-wave pseudopotential DFT method.
