High-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy with information on chemical shifts and J-coupling constants is a sensitive tool for studying physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials at the molecular level. In this paper, a pulse sequence is developed for acquiring high-resolution NMR spectra of liquid samples with J-scaling in inhomogeneous fields via two-dimensional intermolecular multiple-quantum coherence acquisitions. In the resulting one-dimensional projection spectra, apparent J-coupling constants were obtained with a scaling factor theoretically varying from zero (completely decoupled) to infinity relative to the original J-coupling constants while retaining information on chemical shifts, relative peak areas, and multiplet patterns. This allows either an accurate measurement of small J-coupling constants of weakly coupled spin systems or less crowded spectra for spin systems with J-splitting. Experimental observations and simulation results agree with theoretical analysis.

The structural and electronic properties of linear and branched perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS) in its anionic, acidic, and potassium or sodium salt forms were studied in a polarizable continuum model (PCM) of methanol solvent with the B3LYP functional and the 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The 19F chemical shifts and 19F−19F J-coupling constants were determined in a PCM of methanol solvent with GIAO B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p). The differences in energy, enthalpy, and free energy of the four PFBS isomers were compared. The data indicate that the linear PFBS species is less stable than the branched isomers and the isomer with the tert-butyl-like structure is the most stable. The J-coupling contributions via both a non-Fermi contact mechanism and a long chain of bonds (through-bond) indicate that 19F−19F J-coupling constants are long range in these branched PFBS isomers. The calculated and experimental 19F chemical shifts for the linear PFBS species are in good agreement. In addition, the results obtained establish the similarities between the geometries and electronic and NMR properties of linear PFBS and linear perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS).

A comparison between calculated and observed values demonstrates that “ansätze” derived from an algebraic model in connection with appropriate boundary conditions are able to account for a quantitative description of the proton chemical shifts of allenes.Correlations of the proton chemical shifts with other NMR data, such as 13C-chemical shifts and one-bond carbon-proton coupling constants, reveal some insigths into the nature of the 1H substituent chemical shifts of alienes.

A detailed analysis of the high field (400 MHz) 1H nmr spectra of the basic antitumor antibiotics saframycin A and C in CDCl3, C6D6, and in aqueous DMSO solutions has been carried out. Selective double irradiation experiments permitted the unambiguous assignment of all the proton chemical shifts and coupling constants. Consideration of the magnitudes of the latter together with specific nOe experiments permits assignment of molecular geometry and average conformations in solution. Selective shifts occurring in DMSO–D2O solutions upon addition of CF3COOD identified the 12-N atom as the site of protonation which result bears directly on the acid promoted binding of these antibiotics to DNA templates as part of their cytotoxic action.
