Solid-state 11B NMR measurements of Lewis acid鈥揵ase adducts of the form R3AsBR鈥?sub>3 (R = Me, Et, Ph; R鈥?= H, Ph, C6F5) were carried out at several magnetic field strengths (e.g., B0 = 21.14, 11.75, and 7.05 T). The 11B NMR spectra of these adducts exhibit residual dipolar coupling under MAS conditions, allowing for the determination of effective dipolar coupling constants, Reff(75As,11B), as well as the sign of the 75As nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants. Values of Reff(75As,11B) range from 500 to 700 Hz. Small isotropic J-couplings are resolved in some cases, and the sign of 1J(75As,11B) is determined. Values of CQ(75As) measured at B0 = 21.14 T for these triarylborane Lewis acid鈥揵ase adducts range from 鈭?2 卤 2 MHz for Et3AsB(C6F5)3 to 鈭?46 卤 1 MHz for Ph3AsBPh3. For Ph3AsBH3, two crystallographically nonequivalent sites are identified with CQ(75As) values of 鈭?53 and 鈭?51 卤 1 MHz. For the uncoordinated Lewis base, Ph3As, four 75As sites with CQ(75As) values ranging from 193.5 to 194.4 卤 2 MHz are identified. At these applied magnetic field strengths, the 75As quadrupolar interaction does not satisfy high-field approximation criteria, and thus, an exact treatment was used to describe this interaction in 11B and 75As NMR spectral simulations. NMR parameters calculated using the ADF and CASTEP program packages support the experimentally derived parameters in both magnitude and sign. These experiments add to the limited body of literature on solid-state 75As NMR spectroscopy and serve as examples of spin鈥搒pin-coupled quadrupolar spin pairs, which are also rarely treated in the literature.
