Why does the 31P1H NMR spectrum of cis-[Mo(CO)2(dppe)2] show two signals?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP 6 1 $begingroup$ I've tried searching for literature references that explain this, finding only a single reference which refers to the two signals as originating from phosphine environments cis/trans to carbonyls, however I'm having trouble rationalising why this occurs. inorganic-chemistry stereochemistry nmr-spectroscopy symmetry carbonyl-complexes share | improve this question edited Mar 6 at 12:31 Funk asked Mar 4 at 22:48 Funk Funk 46 4 $endgroup$ 1 $begingroup$ I just realised why, I'm a total idiot 😂 - I blame this on my lack of sleep. To ask a question that requires an actual answer @orthocresol I see you added a far better representation of the complex, do you have any tips on how to draw better looking chelating ligands? $endgroup$ – Funk Mar 4 at 23:04 2 $begingroup$ Not really! I just drew a regular octahedral complex in ChemDraw (fro...
