The comparative analysis of the solid-state ³¹P NMR spectra of Re-Pt vinylidene complexes

Abstract

The two vinylidene complexes Cp(CO)2 RePt(μ-C=CHPh)(PPh3 )(CO) and Cp(CO)2 RePt(μ-C=CHPh)(PPh3 )2 and their precursors PPh3 and P(PPh3 )4 were studied by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. We analysed 31P cross-polarization spectra acquired in static conditions and with magic angle spinning. The chemical shift tensors of each sample were determined by fitting their spectra using SIMPSON simulations.
