Abstract
11B and 13C NMR data of peralkylated nido-2,3,4,5-tetracarbahexaboranes(6) are reported. Application of selective heteronuclear triple resonance experiments 13C{1H,11B} enables to assign the structures of various isomers. The magnitude of the coupling constants 1J(11B11B), 1J(13C11B) and 1J(13C13C) is in accord with expectations based on the conception of bonding in carboranes. The comparison of δ11B and δ13C data of the nido- 2,3,4,5-tetracarboranes(6) with δ13C-data of corresponding non-classical carbocations shows the influence of charge upon the nuclear shielding of carbon in the latter.
