A Deuterium NMR Spectroscopic Study of Solid BH(3)NH(3).

Deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) powder spectra and spin-lattice relaxation times (T(1)) are used to measure the deuterium quadrupolar coupling constants (QCCs) chi(BD) and chi(ND) and to investigate the molecular reorientation of the BD(3) and ND(3) groups in solid deuterated borane monoammoniate, BD(3)NH(3) and BH(3)ND(3), respectively. In the high-temperature, tetragonal, phase (above 225 K) the following Arrhenius parameters are obtained from the temperature-dependent T(1): E(a) = 5.9 +/- 0.
