✦ Synopsis


The 103Rh,15N coupling constants and 15N chemical shifts of rhodoximes XRhIII(Hdmg) 2 L (Hdmg = dimethylglyoximate, or pyridine, X = halide, alkyl, haloalkyl) were extracted from gradient-L = PPh 3 selected (1H,15N)-HSQC experiments. Coupling between rhodium and the equatorial oxime nitrogens is large (18-21 Hz) and shows little sensitivity to the nature of the cis-oriented ligands X and L. In contrast, coupling between rhodium and the axial pyridine nitrogen is small (6-9 Hz) for X = alkyl but increases to 16-18 Hz in the halide complexes ("trans inÑuenceÏ). The structural implications are discussed in conjunction with x-ray data.
