I have carbon -13 NMR for potassium phenylethynyltrifluoroborate (PhCCBF3K) ,using 600MHZ,the carbon-carbon triple bonded were not showing in the spectrum can any one know, or help, why it's signal disappear in the spectrum? Thanks.
I agree with Michael Päch and Gorden W. Driver. The carbons bounded to boron (NMR active nucleus) in alpha and beta position, both have a high coupling to the boron (1J and 2J) therefore you get a multiplett because 11B (81% abundance) has a spin of 3/2 and 10B (19% abundance). Also the fluor-atoms (2J) make a quartet-multiplet with the alpha 13C-carbon with about 20Hz. In a normal 13C-spectra with power-decoupling you don't get a NOE-enhancement from the protons and therefore the signal is weak. To see the multiplett you need much more scans.
