B. Wrackmeyer et G. Kehr, DETERMINATION OF ABSOLUTE SIGNS OF SN-119-SN-117 SPIN-SPIN COUPLING-CONSTANTS, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 49(10), 1994, pp. 1407-1409
If for a given system two-dimensional (2D) Sn-119/H-1 heteronuclear sh
ift correlations can be established for long range coupling constants
(n)J(Sn-119,H-1) (n = 4, 6), absolute signs of coupling constants J(Sn
,Sn) are accessible by this technique for the first time. This has bee
n demonstrated for tetrakis(trimethylstannyl)allene (1) with (2)J(Sn-1
19, Sn-117) (>0) and (4)J(Sn-119,Sn-117) (<0), and for tris(trimethyls
tannyl)phosphane (2) and bis(trimethylstannyl)sulfane (3) with (2)J(Sn
-119, Sn-117) (<0).
