Abstract
NMR parameters [chemical] shifts (δ11B, δ13C) and coupling constants (1J(13C1H), 1J(13C11B), 1J(13C13C), 1J(11B11B) of closo-pentaalkyl-1,5-dicarbapentaboranes(5) were determinated by 10B, 11B, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The magnitudes of 1J(13C11B) and 1J(13C13C) correspond to 1J(11B1H), 1J(13C11B) and 1J(13C1H) in the parent compound 1,5-C2B3H5 . According to predictions from MO calculations 1J(11B11B) was found to be < 10 Hz. Together with these data the δ11B and δ13C values show that neither the structure nor the bonding situation in the polyhedron are significantly affected by alkyl substitution.
