title: 29Si-13C spin-spin couplings over an Si-O-Csp3 link.
abstract: (29)Si-(13)C spin-spin couplings over one, two, and three bonds as well as other NMR parameters [delta((29)Si), delta((13)C), delta((1)H), (1)J((13)C-(1)H), and (2)J((29)Si-C-(1)H)] were calculated and measured for a series of trimethylsilylated alcohols of the types Me(3)Si-O-(CH(2))(n)CH(3) and Me(3)Si-O-CH(3-n)R(n)(n = 0-3; R = Me, Ph, or Vi). The signs of the coupling constants determined for selected compounds can likely be extended to all such compounds, as supported by theoretical calculations. Similar to couplings between other pairs of nuclei, the 2-bond and 3-bond (29)Si-O-(13)C couplings are of opposite signs ((2)J > 0 and (3)J < 0), and their relative magnitudes depend on the extent of branching at the alpha-carbon.
