Trimesitylborane, five aryldimesitylboranes, ethenyl, allenyl, phenylethynyl and allyldimesitylboranes have been synthesised and characterised by their 1H, 11B and 13C NMR spectra. A set of 13C chemical shift shielding parameters for the dimesitylborynyl group have been obtained which allow the assignment of 13C resonances in meta- and para-substituted aryldimesitylboranes. On the basis of 13C and 11B chemical shift data it is concluded that the unsaturated ligands stabilise these systems by ? electron back-donation to the empty p orbital on boron in the order aryl allenyl alkenyl alkynyl. Allyldimesitylborane does not undergo the expected intramolecular allylic rearrangement in solution at temperatures below 140 deg C.
