29Si and 13C NMR spectra of permethylpolysilanes

²⁹Si, ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra are reported for the series of linear permethylpolysilanes Me(SiMe₂)_nMe where n = 1 to 6, for the cyclic permethylpolysilanes (Me₂Si)_n where n = 5 to 8, and for a few related compounds. For linear polysilanes the ²⁹Si and ¹³C chemical shifts can be accurately calculated from simple additivity relationships based on the number of silicon atoms in α, β, γ and δ positions. Adjacent (α) silicon atoms lead to upfield shifts in the ²⁹Si and ¹³C resonances, whereas more remote silicon atoms lead to downfield shifts. The ²⁹Si chemical shifts of the polysilane chains are linearly related to the ¹³C shifts of the carbon atoms attached to the silicon. The ²⁹Si and ¹³C resonances of the cyclic silanes deviate from this relationship. Ring current effects arising from σ delocalization are suggested as an explanation for the deviations. Proton-coupled ²⁹Si NMR spectra are reported for Me₃SiSiMe₃ and for (Me₂Si)_n, n = 5 to 7.     

Steric effects in 29Si and 13C NMR spectra of trimethylsilyl- and alkyl-substituted benzenes

²⁹Si and ¹³C NMR spectra of trimethylsilylbenzenes substituted at different positions by methyl and trimethylsilyl groups were investigated with special reference to steric interactions between the ortho-substituents. The steric effects, as measured by ¹³C and ²⁹Si chemical shifts, are generally smaller in trimethylsilyl- than in t-butyl-substituted compounds. Both nuclei follow the same general trends in the benzene derivatives.     

29Si and 13C NMR Studies of organofunctional di- and trisilanes

A series of di- and trisilanes of general structure Ph₃SiSiMe₂R and (Ph₃Si)₂SiR′R″ were synthesized, and the ²⁹Si and ¹³C chemical shifts and one-bond siliconsilicon coupling constants (¹J_SiSi) were measured. The coupling constants of the disilanes were found to be primarily dependent upon the inductive effect of the alkyl group, R, as measured by the Taft o^★ constant. In both series of compounds, increasing alkyl substitution at silicon led to a decrease in ¹J_SiSi.     

NMR study (1H, 13C and 29Si) of the methylallylsilanes

¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR data for the compounds (CH₃)_xSi(CH₂CHCH₂)_4-x are reported. The ¹H resonances from the π system are indicative of the electron-supplying inductive effect (+I) of the (CH₃SiCH₂, moiety but the corresponding ¹³C_π chemical shifts seem to be influenced by a sterically induced polarization of the C-H bonds. The ¹³C_All, ¹³C_Me and ²⁹Si chemical shift data reveal an important neighbour anisotropy contribution originating from the π system. Ultraviolet study of the compounds mentioned above gives indication of a σ—π conjugation in accordance with PES and ab initio results [1—5]. The trend observed in the various coupling constants is too small to be Interpreted.

High-resolution ²⁹Si NMR spectra of zunyite Si₅Al₁₃O₂₀ (OH,F)₁₈Cl have been studied by magic-angle sample spinning in combination with high-power proton decouplina and polarization transfer. The isotropic ²⁹Si chemical shift depends mainly on the number of Si-O-Si bridges and the bond angles in these bridges connecting the different SiO₄ tetrahedra.

Fourier 13C NMR and PMR including 13C satellites of oriented cyanopropyne

Fourier ¹³C and proton NMR spectra of cyanopropyne partially oriented by a nematic phase have been recorded and interpreted. It is shown that more accurate measurements are obtained much more rapidly by observing ¹³C satellites by Fourier PMR than by direct observation of the ¹³C spectrum. The geometry has been extracted from direct couplings; a small but systematic discrepancy with microwave spectroscopy is observed for the carboncarbon bond lengths.
