NMR help
« on: June 25, 2014, 08:59:52 AM »
In a project, a complex formulated as [99RuCl2(dppe)2] was synthesised. The 31P {1H} NMR specturm of this shows one signal as a 1:1:1:1:1:1 sextet.
Account for this observation.

dppe is the bidentate ligand (C6H5)2PCH2CH2P(C6H5)2

I(31P) = 1/2
no coupling to Cl observed

Could anyone help me with this question, and explain how a 1:1:1:1:1:1 sextet is formed,
any help much appreciated,

Best Regards,
Heidi

According to forum rules, you must show an attempt first before anyone can help you.  Maybe you could clarify one thing as well:  do you mean that the P-31 was acquired coupled to H-1, or do you mean decoupled?

Sorry this is my first post and i didn't realize,
As for an attempt i cant seen to figure out what one signal as a 1:1:1:1:1:1 sextant implies, whether its a triplet of doublets or that all atoms coupling to the Rh are of equal value... i've tried googling it with no success which is why i am trying on this!

Its a past exam question and doesnt state whether its coupled or decoupled... but i think its decoupled

What do you know about the nuclear spin quantum numbers?
