NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTRA AND CONDUCTIVITIES OF SOME METAL ACETYLACETONATES

Abstract
Chemical shift data and conductivities of acetylacetonates of some group IA, IIA, and IIIA metals in dimethylsulfoxide are recorded. It is concluded that nuclear magnetic resonance spectra cannot give definite information on π-bonding in these complexes, though the results for the group III elements are consistent with the presence of such bonds, as is the evidence from related spectroscopic studies.
