Five-, six- and seven-vertex dicarbaboranes, carborane anions and borane dianions have been studied by DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory, aiming at determining the indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constants with an emphasis on J(11B,11B), J(13C,11B) and J(13C,13C). The reasonable agreement with all experimental data suggests that the calculated data can be used in the discussion of the bonding situation in these cluster compounds, for which many coupling constants cannot be determined experimentally. The delocalisation of electron density is reflected by changes in both magnitude and sign of the coupling constants. The trend in the coupling constants between nuclei in antipodal positions points towards direct bonding interactions.

Boron-nitrogen compounds were studied with respect to indirect nuclear 15N-11B spin-spin coupling (1J(15N,11B)). Some new experimental data were determined for aminoboranes and tetra-Npyrrolylborate, and a variety of compounds with B-N single, double and triple bonds were examined using DFT methods for the calculation of 1J(15N,11B) at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. The calculations predict magnitude and sign of 1J(15N,11B) reasonably well, and the Fermi contact term was found to be dominant. A positive sign of 1J(15N,11B) was calculated in the case of 1-azacloso- dodecaborane(12), in contrast to all other compounds studied.

Trimethylborane (1), triethylborane (2), 1,3-dimethyl-1-boracyclopentane (3), 1-methyl-1- boracyclohexane (4), 9-methyl- and 9-ethyl-9-borabicyclo[3.1.1]nonane [5(Me) and 5(Et)], and 1- boraadamantane (6) were studied by 11B and 13C NMR spectroscopy with respect to coupling constants 1J(13C,11B) and 1J(13C,13C). Results of DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+g(d,p) level of theory show satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. Hyperconjugation arising from C-C σ bonds adjacent to the tricoordinate boron atom is indicated, in particular for 1-boraadamantane (6), by the optimised calculated structures, and by the experimental and calculated data 1J(13C,13C). The calculated magnitude of 1J(13C,1H) for carbon atoms adjacent to boron becomes significantly smaller if the optimised structures suggest hyperconjugative effects arising from these C-H bonds

Coupling constants 1J(17O,11B) of borates, borane adducts and boranes with boron-oxygen bonds have been calculated on the basis of optimised molecular structures using the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. This indicates that such coupling constants can be of either sign and that their magnitudes can be rather small. Since both 11B and 17O are quadrupole nuclei, it is therefore difficult to measure representative data. In the cases of trimethoxyborane and tetraethyldiboroxanes, it proved possible to obtain experimental data 1J(17O,11B) (22 and 18 Hz) by measurement of 17O NMR spectra at high temperature (120 °C and 160 °C) respectively. The magnitude of these coupling constants is in reasonable agreement with calculated data. In the case of the diboroxane, this points towards a bond angle B-O-B more close to 180◦ than to 140°
