The {sup 53}Cr NMR spectra of 46 chromium-carbene complexes were recorded, and chemical shift and line width data are reported, along with associated infrared, uv-visible, and {sup 13}C NMR spectroscopic data. The {sup 53}Cr chemical shifts correlated very well with the donor-acceptor properties of the carbene ligand and were quite sensitive to steric influences on efficiency of {pi}-overlap of the heteroatom with the carbene carbon. There was no correlation of {delta}({sup 53}Cr) with reactivity toward imines to form {beta}-lactams, but line width appeared to be related to reactivity. Preliminary attempts to utilize {sup 53}Cr NMR data to direct synthetic utilization of chromium-carbene complexes are reported. 5 refs., 49 figs., 1 tab.
