Recent Experimental Techniques of Relevance to Organometallic Chemistry

RECENT EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES OF RELEVANCE TO ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY 

In this review, it is assumed that the reader is familiar with the general experimental techniques used in NMR spectroscopy which have been reviewed previously 117, 135, 171, 186, 214). However, some techniques have appeared since the publication of these reviews and are of use in organometallic chemistry. 

The assignment of NMR resonances can be difficult. In order to maximize sensitivity, it is usual to measure NMR spectra with complete proton decoupling. The proton coupling may be retained with some increase in sensitivity by the use of off-center double resonance 

This technique has been applied to [Mo(CO)3(7r-cycloheptatriene)] where there are three resonances assignable to the carbon atoms bearing one hydrogen atom each and the NMR spectrum is completely assignable 15, 161). 

There are two problems which are common in organometallic NMR spectroscopy.
