Figure 7
Double-quantum filtered J-resolved solid-state NMR spectra for (a) bis(pinacolato)diboron, (b) bis(catecholato)diboron, and (c) an N-heterocyclic carbene complexed analogue of bis(catecholato)diboron. MAS NMR spectra (exp, sim) of the NHC complex are also shown in (c). The amplified 3J splitting shows that the B atoms are related by a high-symmetry operation, such as an inversion centre, in (a) and (b), while the symmetry is broken in (c).
