Contrary to previously published values, the characteristic B–C asymmetric stretching mode in trialkylboranes is assigned to the 1116 to 1150 cm—1 range. The basis for the assignment of the various characteristic bond vibrations is the comparison of the infrared spectrum of trimethylborane-b10 with the infrared and Raman spectra of isotopically normal trimethylborane. The new values lead to better consistency with spectra of other trialkylboranes and alkyldiboranes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
