N.M.R. studies of mixed group 4/group 6 hydrides

Abstract

The equilibria (MH₃)₂E + H₂E2MH₃EH (E = S, Se, Te; M = Si, Ge) have been studied by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The spectra of the new compounds MH₃EH(E = Se, Te; M = Si: E = S, Se, Te; M = Ge) are reported, including satellites due to ²⁹Si, ⁷⁷Se and ¹²⁵Te at natural abundance. The ¹²⁵TeH coupling constant in H₂Te is also reported for the first time.
