Abstract
High-resolution 13C NMR spectra were recorded for solid [Me 2Ph 2P] +I − and [Me 3PhP] +I − using high-power decoupling, cross-polarization, and magic-angle rotation. Spectra of the ipso carbon, obtained with the nonquaternary suppression (dipolar dephasing) pulse sequence, show an unequal distribution intensity of spinning sidebands for the two peaks split by the isotropic coupling constant 1 J PC. This effect is traced to the joint influence of (P, C) dipolar coupling and 13C shielding anisotropy. The existence of scalar coupling enables magic-angle rotation to distinguish the two subspectra which are present. Analysis of the sideband patterns yields values of the NMR parameters. Under certain assumptions, including that the axis of greatest shielding is perpendicular to the PC bond, it is shown that 1 J PC is positive. In contrast to traditional methods of determining signs, this conclusion does not rely on knowledge of signs of other coupling constants.
