Abstract
High resolution proton magnetic resonance spectra are presented for aqueous NaBH4 and liquid B2H6 at 30 and 40 megacycles. B11 magnetic resonance spectra at 6 megacycles are presented for these same substances. The details of the spectra constitute powerful confirmation of a tetrahedral model for BH4— and a bridge proton model for B2H6. The bridge protons in the latter display resonance at higher applied magnetic field than do the terminal protons, suggesting a more hydride‐ion like character for the former. Quantitative spin‐spin multiplet separations and chemical shifts are recorded.Keywords
