The calculation of the spin-spin coupling constants 1J(31P,≡13C) of λ3-1-phosphaalkynes P≡C-R (R = H, Me, tBu, Ph, SiMe3 and NMe2) using density functional theory (DFT) have revealed a positive sign of this coupling constant in agreement with the experiment for P≡C-tBu. The calculations have shown that the Fermi contact (FC) contribution to this coupling is negative [in contrast to FC for 1J(14N,≡13C) in the corresponding nitriles], and that the positive sign of 1J(31P,≡13C) is the result of significant contributions arising from spin-dipole (SD) and paramagnetic spin-orbital (PSO) terms. Coupling constants were also calculated for some representative λ3-phosphorus compounds containing two- and three-coordinate phosphorus, indicating the strong dependence of the FC term on the geometry at the phosphorus atom.
