Determination of ¹J(⁵⁹Co-⁵⁹Co) scalar coupling constants in the tetrahedral mixed-metal cluster HFeCo₃(CO)₁₀(PCyH₂)(PPh₂[CH₂C(O)Ph]) using COSY-type NMR experiments.
Two-dimensional ⁵⁹Co correlation spectroscopy (COSY) and double-quantum-filtered (DQF) COSY NMR experiments are reported for the tetrahedral mixed-metal cluster HFeCo₃(CO)₁₀(PCyH₂)(PPh₂[CH₂C(O)Ph]), which consists from the point of view of ⁵⁹Co NMR spectroscopy, of an AMX system of three-spin S=7/2. Both 2D NMR spectra prove the existence of a J scalar coupling constant between non-equivalent ⁵⁹Co nuclei. By contrast to what happens with the conventional 2D ⁵⁹Co COSY NMR spectrum, it was possible to simulate the 2D ⁵⁹Co DQF-COSY NMR spectrum by density matrix calculations in order to extract the values of the ¹J(⁵⁹Co-⁵⁹Co) coupling constants. The comparison between experimental and theoretical 2D NMR spectra gives spin-couplings constants of several hundreds Hertz for this cluster.
