59 Co-NMR MEDIUM EFFECT, ISOTOPE EFFECT AND CHELATE COMPLEX STEREOISOMERS

The ~(59)Co-NMR spectra of several cobalt (Ⅲ) complexes have been directly recorded bypulsed Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance (FT-NMR) technique. The influences ofsolvents, concentration and temperature on ~(59)Co spectra have been investigated. Optical andgeometric isomers of the chelate complexes have been distinguished by ~(59)Co-NMR spectra. ForCo(±pn)_3Cl_3, the resonances of Δ(λλλ) and Δ(δδδ) appeared at the lower field, the δ_(mer) beinggreater than δ_(fac), followed by the peaks of Δ(λλδ) and Δ(δδλ). For Co(en)_3Cl_3-D_n, all the13 isotopic isomers, from D_0 to D_(12), have been resolved in their ~(59)Co spectra. Each H/Dexchange causes ~(59)Co peaks to move upfield 5.4 ppm. The factors affecting the direction andmagnitude of isotopic shift and its additivity have been discussed. Chemical equilibrium isotopiceffect has also been studied.
