P. Jankowski et al., ONE-BOND CC SPIN-SPIN COUPLING-CONSTANTS IN SILYL-SUBSTITUTED CYCLOPROPENES, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 460(1), 1993, pp. 15-18
One-bond CC spin-spin coupling constants have been measured for three
silyl-substituted cyclopropenes. Very small 1J(CC) values have been fo
und for endo-cyclic single CC bonds, i.e. ca. 12 Hz for the alkyl subs
tituted CC bond and < 3 Hz for that bearing a silyl substituent. A cou
pling of ca. 50 Hz has been observed for the double CC bond. The resul
ts are interpreted in terms of the s-electron distribution within the
systems examined.
