All NMR spectra were recorded in CD3CN.
Due to the low abundance of this isotope, the chemical shifts and coupling constants were determined by 1H-15N and 1H{15N}-15N correlation experiments.
A vicinal proton coupling constant of 2J1H1H = 10.8 Hz was observed.
Measured using an ATR-IR in an argon filled glovebox.
Neat film on a NaCl plate.
