Abstract
AbstractThe nuclear spin relaxation rate of the quadrupolar 14N nuclei in N,N′,N″‐tris(trimethylsilyl)borazine (1) is surprisingly slow [T1(14N)=0.1 s]. This allows one to measure 1J(29Si14N) (9.6 Hz) directly from the 29Si NMR spectra and also to compare signs of coupling constants 1J(29Si14N) (<0) and 3J(14NSiC1H) (>0) by 2D 29Si/1H HETCOR experiments. Since the transverse relaxation time T2(14N) in 1 is governed by scalar relaxation of the second kind, the magnitude of 1J(14N11B) can be evaluated (23 ± 0.5 Hz). 11B, 14N and 29Si NMR data for N,N′‐bis(trimethylsilyl)borazine (2) were also obtained, and 11B and 14N NMR spectra of the parent borazine [HBNH]3 (3), and of [HBNMe]3 (4) were remeasured. Calculation of the tensor components of the 14N electric field gradient shows that eqzz in 1 and in 2 for 14N(Si) is significantly smaller than for other borazines [HBNR]3, e.g. with R=H (3) or Me (4), in agreement with the experimental results.
