The 63 Cu NQR spectra of five three-coordinated complexes of Cu(I) containing an isocyanide ligand are reported. The resonance frequencies are compared with those of other three-coordinated Cu(I) complexes using a partial coupling constant model to describe the effects of the various ligands and to take into account the effects of variations in the molecular geometries. The partial coupling constant of the isocyanide ligand is much higher than that of any other ligand studied so far and leads to the order of donor atom partial field gradients for terminal ligands C>N>Cl>P = S = Br>I>0.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
