“…The signals for H3 and C3 (P CH 2 ) in methanol are not well resolved because of a slow exchange of the two protons, which is due to some flexibility around the central unit. The signal of C3 is not observed in some other carbamoylmethylphosphonate complexes as well [3]. 31 P, 13 C and 1 H NMR spectra of 3a, 3b, and 3c showed shifts downfield from the free ligand (see Table 2 for 13 C and Experimental section for 1 H), most significant by 3b in methanol ( δ C2 = 3.27 ppm, δ C O = 6.35 ppm, and δ 31 P = 6.03 ppm).…”
