1. Fundamental aspects a comparison to hydrogen

Phosphorus contains just one isotope (31P: natural abundance 100%)


31P : 1H => 10.841 : 26.7519 = 40.480737 [MHz] (if 1H = 100 MHz)

Relative receptivity of 31P: 0.0665 => less sensitive than 1H (1.00) !

Standard for 31P NMR measurements: H3PO4 (concentration 85%)


Resonances are given in [ppm] relative to the standard, chemical shift
=> sign convention: + (= resonance at lower field; lowfield-shifted)

Chemical shift () is determined by


electronegativity ()
- -electron overlap (n)
bond angle ()
differences occur upon change in the bonding environment

2. Phosphanes (phosphines)

Structural features (I): RmPHm-n


(33-P, PIII, pyramidal, between p3 and sp3 hybridisation)

Strong downfield-shift upon increasing degree of C substitution at P

2. Phosphanes (phosphines)

Steric effects !?

2. Phosphanes (phosphines)

Examples of phosphanes and their chloro derivatives of RmPClm-n


(33-P, PIII, pyramidal)

Strong downfield-shift upon increasing degree of Cl substitution at P


Electronegative elements such as chlorine lead to a deshielded P center

Introducing an increment system based on:


1) Electronegativity of directly bound atoms
2) Electronegativity of atoms bonded to the , , etc. atom

2. Estimating chemical shifts: increments systems

2. Phosphanes and chloro derivatives

Examples of phosphanes and their chloro derivatives of RmPClm-n


(33-P, PIII, pyramidal)

values: 1) PMe2Cl vs PMeCl2:: 98.8


2) P(t-Bu2)Cl vs P(t-Bu)Cl2: 53.3 (!?)

Attention:
In addition, the increment system has to take
steric and electronic effects into account !

3. Phosphane oxides vs. phosphate esters

Examples of phosphane oxides and their alkoxy derivatives RmP(O)ORm-n


(45-P, PV, tetrahedral; ~ sp3 hybridisation with some d-orbital
contribution)

Upfield-shift upon increasing degree of OR/OAr substitution at P

8
3. Phosphane oxides vs. sulfides and imines

Examples of phosphane oxides and their SR and NR derivatives RmP(E)


(45-P, PV, tetrahedral; ~ sp3 hybridisation with some d-orbital contrib

Note: OR and NR derivatives resonate upfield from respective SR deriv.


=> SR show weaker -backbonding

4. Phosphane oxides vs. phosphoranes vs. phosphates

1) 45-P, PV, tetrahedral; 2) 55-P, PV, trigonal bipyramidal;


3) 65-P, PV, octahedral; ~ sp3 hybridisation with some d-orbital contribution

5. MLn complexes of phosphanes and derivatives (I)

Coordination chemical shift values (): Cr > Mo > W (~ 20-30 ppm)


Why is their a shielding or deshielding effect in complexes?
Why are Cr complexes more deshielding than Mo or W complexes ?
11
5. MLn complexes of phosphanes and derivatives (II)

12
5. BH3 complexes of phosphanes and derivatives

Borane complexation has a deshielding effect unless -atoms can


deliever electron density !

6. Phosphorus compounds in low coordination

Phosphaalkynes,
13-P, PIII, linear
sp hybridisation

14
6. Phosphorus compounds in low coordination

Diphosphenes, 23-P, PIII, bent, ~ sp2 hybridisation

15
6. Phosphorus compounds in low coordination

Phosphaalkenes, 23-P, PIII, bent, ~ sp2 hybridisation

15
6. Low-coordinated phosphorus compounds

Phosphenium salts, 22-P, PIII, planar, ~ sp2 hybridisation

In phosphenium compounds substituents have huge effects on the


chemical shift !?

Phosphenium compounds are charged species and therefore the


chemical shift is strongly dependend of c, T and solvent polarity !

7. Coupling of P to main group elements (H,C,F): 1H

General aspects of couplings of


P to H => nJ(P,H):

1J(P,H) is positiv;
=> the sign is then alternating (f(n))

The magnitude of nJ(P,H):


1J(P,H) > 3J(P,H) > 2J(P,H) > 4J(P,H)

1J(P,H)coupling constants:
Na[PH2] < CH2CH2PH < PH3 < PH4+< PH2F3
139.0 < 158.3 < 188.2 < 547 < 841 Hz

The magnitude of 2J(P,H)


in cyclic systems:
depends on the angle
17
7. Coupling of P to main group elements (H,C,F): 13C

General aspects of couplings of P to C => nJ(P,C)


1J(P,C) is negativ => the sign is depending on and increases with
increasing electronegativity, coordination number and bond angle sum

Within a series of
alkyl phosphanes
the magnitude of nJ(P,C)
1J(P,C) > 3J(P,C) > 2J(P,C) >
4J(P,C)

The magnitude of 2J(P,C)


in cyclic systems:
depends also on the angle
(Karplus curve)

18
7. Coupling of P to main group elements (H,C,F): 19F

General aspects of couplings of P to F => nJ(P,F)

1J(P,F) is negativ => the sign is depending on and increases with


increasing electronegativity and coordination number

Selected examples of 1J(P,F) coupling constants:


PF3 < P(O)F3 < PF5 < PF6- < H2P(NH2)F2
-1441 < -1080 < -938 < -706 < -598 Hz

Within a class of phosphorus compounds the magnitude of nJ(P,F):


1J(P,E) > 3J(P,E) > 2J(P,E) > 4J(P,E)

The magnitude of 1J(P,F) depends very much on the


s-character of the bond: sp > sp2 > sp3 > dsp2 > dsp3 > d2sp3

8. Coupling of phosphorus to transition metals (W)
1J(W,P) coupling constant magnitudes [Hz]

In the case of W(CO)5PR3 complexes:


Strong correlation of the 1J(W,P) coupling constants from the
EN values (Pauling) of directly to P bonded atoms !
