The 13C, 27Al and 11B NMR spectra of tri(tert-butyl)alane, AlBut3, and of the corresponding borane, BBut3, respectively, were examined in order to determine the magnitude of the coupling constants 1J(27Al,13C) = 94±5 Hz and 1J(13C,11B) = 52±2 Hz by measurement of the line widths of the 13C NMR signals and of the relaxation rates of the quadrupolar 27Al and 11B nuclei. This is the first example of 1J(27Al,13C) determined for a monomeric trialkylalane. In addition, the coupling constants were calculated by DFT methods (B3LYP) using the 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. The 1H, 13C and 27Al NMR spectra of lithium tetra(tert-butyl)alanate, Li[AlBut4], were measured under various conditions. Ion-pair separation in THF revealed the expected patterns for 27Al-13C spin-spin coupling across one and two bonds as well as for the three-bond 27Al-1H spin-spin coupling.

The 13C, 69/71Ga and 115In NMR spectra of lithium tetra(tert-butyl)gallate and -indate were measured under various conditions. It proved possible to determine for the first time the coupling constants 1J(69/71Ga,13C) = 182 Hz/232 Hz and 1J(115In,13C) = 310±10 Hz for these metallates under conditions for solvent-separated ions. DFT calculations [B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)] were carried out for organogallium compounds such as tri(tert-butyl)gallium, trimethylgallium and tetramethylgallate in order to predict and confirm coupling constants 1J(Ga,13C).

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.

The inversion potentials, obtained from STO-3G, STO-3G(*), 3-21G, 3-21G(*), and 4-31G basis sets, are reported for thianthrene and thioxanthene, molecules in which both or only one of the methylene groups have been replaced by sulfur in 9,10-dihydroanthracene. Comparison with the available experimental data suggests that the split-valence bases lead to an overestimate, possibly by about 10 kJ/mol, of the inversion barrier in the crystal, whereas the STO-3G and STO-3G* basis sets underestimate this barrier. It appears that the inversion barrier for thianthrene is much lower in solution than in the crystal. The long-range coupling constants between the methylene and ring protons for thioxanthene in solution are consistent with an inversion barrier somewhat smaller than those obtained with the split-valence bases but rather larger than those predicted with the STO-3G basis set. The bond lengths and angles in the equilibrium structures of the two molecules, as computed with the 3-21G(*) basis, agree reasonably well with those in their crystals, except that the theoretical folding angles are smaller than measured. These discrepancies become less marked when expectation values are calculated from the theoretical inversion potentials at finite temperatures. Key words: MO calculations, inversion potentials of thianthrene and thioxanthene; 1H NMR, thioxanthene; spin–spin coupling constants, long range, in thioxanthene.

AbstractThe basic INEPT pulse sequence proved most useful for recording 15N NMR spectra at natural abundance of bis(amino)stannvlenes (1). -plumbylenes (2) and of imino-amino-λ2-phosphanes (3), where the nitrogen atoms carry bulky substituents like Me3Si-, t-Bu-, 2.4.4-trimethyl-2- pentyl-groups (t-Oct-groups) or are part of the 2.2.6.6-tetramethylpiperidinyl group. The sensitiv­ity of this technique is proved by the observation of 117/119Sn or 207Pb satellites owing to spin-spin coupling constants 1J(117/119Sn15N) and 1J(117/119Pb15N), respectively. NMR data of bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]tin (4) are reported in order to corroborate the arguments for the interpretation of the δ(15N) and 1J(119Sn15N) data. The 15N NMR data of the λ2-phosphanes (3) indicate a bonding situation similar to that in triazenes.
