Abstract:
While liquid-state 29Si NMR of phosphorus-bearing organosilicon compounds with more than one phosphorus per molecule can take advantage of the presence of J-coupling nJ(31P29Si) for purposes of structural assignment from J-coupling patterns, conventional 29Si CP/MAS spectra of such molecular solids do not reveal structural details in a straightforward manner. For such compounds it is necessary to obtain 29Si CP/MAS spectra under conditions of simultaneous 1H- and 31P-high power decoupling in order to derive reliable 29Si chemical shift information. 29Si CP/MAS NMR spectra, obtained with and without 31P high power decoupling during the acquisition time, of several organosilicon compounds containing SixPy (x = 1-10, y = 1-10) moieties are reported.
