Abstract
Indirect one-bond nuclear spin-spin couplings between M and C [1 J(M,C)] in Me4 M, Me3 M- , Ph4 M, and Ph3 M- (M=Pb, Sn, Ge, Si, C) are analyzed with consideration of the relativistic effect and by employing Slater-type basis sets. The evaluated total values 1 JTL (M,C) reproduced the observed values with some systematic calculation errors. Fermi contact terms 1 JFC (M,C) contribute predominantly to 1 JTL (M,C) (≈99 %). A distinct relativistic effect on 1 J(Pb,C) is predicted for Me3 Pb- and Ph3 Pb- . The mechanisms for the distinct effect are elucidated by using the comparison between Me3 Pb- and Me4 Pb as an example. The contributions to 1 JFC (M,C) [or 1 JSD+FC (M,C), where SD denotes the spin-dipolar term] are decomposed into those of occupied orbitals and occupied-to-unoccupied transitions. The s-type lone-pair orbitals are demonstrated to contribute to the distinct relativistic effect on 1 J(Pb,C) of Me3 Pb- (and Ph3 Pb- ). The results are in sharp contrast to the cases of 1 J(M,C) for M atoms lighter than Pb, such as Si, and are explained by the s character of the M-C bonds. This treatment enables visualization and clear recognition the origin of the nuclear couplings for the species exhibiting a relativistic effect.
