Hydrogen–deuterium exchange in tetrahydroborate salts

Abstract
1H nmr spectroscopy has been used to demonstrate hydrogen–deuterium exchange in solutions of NaBH4/NaB2H4 in diglyme and KBH4/KB2H4 in 18-crown-6 ether/chloroform. Earlier observations of such exchange with LiBH4/LiB2H4 in an ethereal solvent were confirmed. Spectra were simplified by broadband decoupling of deuterium, facilitating quantitative measurement of the degree of exchange.
