Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance parameters have been determined for solutions of HCP, and a ¹J(¹³CH) value of 211 Hz is rationalized in terms of sp hybridization at carbon, leading to a triple bond description of the CP bond; the appearance potential of the HCP⁺ or DCP⁺ ions from the parent molecules (11·4 ± 0·3 eV) is close to a theoretical value.
