“…The proton spectrum clearly shows the expected narrow signals for the diamagnetic d 6 complex, while the lines observed for the hetero nuclei 15 N and 31 P are remarkably broadened. Similar observations have been made before for other (non-symmetric) phosphine complexes of technetium(I), -(III), and -(V), and have been assigned to scalar couplings of the 31 P nucleus with the large quadrupole moment of 99 Tc [ 34 , 59 , 61 , 62 , 81 , 97 , 98 , 99 ]. The resulting line broadenings make the detection of reasonable 31 P NMR spectra in some cases almost impossible (see also Figure 4 ).…”
