Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance studies of triphenylsilyl-, triphenyltin-, and triphenyllead(pentacarbonyl)manganese(I) complexes

Abstract

The solid-state CP MAS (29Si, 119Sn, and 207Pb) NMR spectra of the triphenylsilyl-, triphenyltin-, and triphenyllead(pentacarbonyl)manganese(I) complexes, (Ph3E)Mn(CO)5 (E = Si, Sn, Pb), have been analyzed to give the chemical shifts, one-bond spin-spin coupling constants, 1JE-Mn, the "effective-dipolar" coupling constants (D - ΔJ/3), the chemical shift tensors, and the spin-spin anisotropy (ΔJ), where the analysis permits. For the tin and lead compounds, three and four sets of chemical shifts, respectively, were observed, and two different polymorphs occur for the lead complex, depending on the solvent used for recrystallization. The average values of the reduced coupling constants, 1KMn-Si (2.64 × 1020 T2 J-1), 1KSn-Mn (1.25 × 1020 T2 J-1), and 1KPb-Mn (4.18 × 1020 T2 J-1) showed a linear correlation with the s-electron densities at the respective metal nuclei. The principal components of the chemical shift tensors have been determined for the tin and lead compounds.Key words: manganese-group-14 compounds, solid-state 29Si, 119Sn, and 207Pb CP MAS NMR, spin-spin coupling, chemical shift anisotropy, quadrupole coupling.
