Bridge proton exchange in B6H10 and 2-CH3B6H9; low temperature nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of static structures
Abstract
Low temperature 1H and 11B n.m.r. spectra of B6H10 and 2-MeB6H9 demonstrate: (1) the bridge proton exchange rate is slow on the n.m.r. time scale; (2) the spectra of B6H10 thus obtained are consistent with the known solid state structure; and (3) the static structure of 2-MeB6H9 is without a mirror plane of symmetry.
