The long-range proton–proton coupling constants between the ring protons and the aldehydic proton are reported for a series of para-substituted benzaldehyde derivatives. It was found that JoH,CHO < 0 and JmH,CHO > 0. Furthermore, JoH,CHO increases in magnitude as the electron donating power of the sub-stituent increases. A similar trend is observed forJmH,CHO but the ratio of the increase to the magnitude of JmH,CHO is much less than for JoH,CHO. A good correlation is obtained between JoH,CHO and the sub-stituent parameters of Swain and Lupton.The coupling constant data are discussed in terms of σ and π coupling mechanisms and it is concluded that σ electron mechanisms are dominant for both JoH,CHO and JmH,CHO.

The signs of all proton–proton and proton–fluorine spin–spin coupling constants in 2-fluoro-3-methylpyridine have been determined by double and triple resonance experiments. The signs of the longrange coupling constants, JH,CH3 and JF,CH3 are the same as in fluorotoluene derivatives. Their magnitudes are consistent with the assumption that the nitrogen atom primarily polarizes the σ bonds in the molecule, leaving the π contribution to the long-range coupling relatively unaffected.

13C,19F and 19F,19F nuclear spin–spin coupling constants over n formal bonds, n = 1–9, are reported for 4-fluorobiphenyl, 4,4′-difluorobiphenyl, 4,4′-difluoro-2,2′,6,6′-tetramethylbiphenyl, 2,7-difluorofluorene, 2-fluoro-9-fluorenone, and 2,7-difluoro-9-fluorenone in acetone solutions. The signs of many of the coupling constants are deduced from second-order spectral phenomena caused by differential 13C isotope effects on the I9F nmr chemical shifts. Theoretical potentials, based on geometry-optimized STO 3G MO computations for 4-fluorobiphenyl and 4,4′-difluorobiphenyl, yield expectation values for the torsion angles about the exocyclic C—C linkage that are very close to those deduced from electron diffraction patterns. These potentials and INDO MO FPT computations of the long-range coupling constants allow a discussion of the coupling mechanisms. In Hz, 9J(F,F) = 1.3(1) cos2 θ, where θ is zero for a planar biphenyl, while 8J(C,F) = 0.8(1) cos2 θ and 7J(C,F) = −0.43(5) cos2 θ. 6J(C,F) is a composite of σ–π and π electron coupling components and is written in Hz as 0.57(1) + 0.29(1) sin2 θ. The corresponding coupling constants in the fluorene and 9-fluorenone derivatives are enhanced in magnitude relative to a hypothetical planar biphenyl derivative. It is tentatively suggested that 5J(C,F) consists of three coupling components, one negative and proportional to cos2 θ, the other two positive and independent of θ. 4J(C,F) is suggested to consist of a σ component of −1.0 Hz and a π component proportional to the atom–atom polarizability for the parent hydrocarbon.

Analysis of the proton magnetic resonance spectrum of phenyltrifluorosilane yields the spin–spin coupling constants between the fluorine nuclei and the protons. These are compared with the analogous long-range coupling constants in benzotrifluoride, toluene, and phenylsilane and are rationalized in terms of coupling mechanisms. The coupling over six bonds is assessed as a base point for the estimation of hindered rotation about the carbon–silicon bond.

The carbon-13 satellite peaks in the proton magnetic resonance spectra of 1,3-dioxole and bis-1,3-dioxolyl are analyzed under single and double resonance conditions to yield the signs and magnitudes of proton–proton coupling constants over three, four, and five bonds, and of proton–carbon-13 coupling constants over one, two, and three bonds. The conformational behavior of bis-1,3-dioxolyl contrasts sharply with that of analogous sym-tetrasubstituted ethane derivatives. It is indicated that the two-bond proton–carbon-13 coupling in the ethanic fragment can be used for conformational analysis in a manner similar to vicinal proton–proton couplings. The vicinal three-bond proton–carbon-13 couplings are given for dihedral angles of 180 and 120° and their relative magnitudes are as expected from a Karplus relationship. The two-bond proton–carbon-13 coupling in the olefinic fragment is, at 20.0 Hz, the largest coupling known for such a bond.

The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 2-cyanobenzaldehyde (2CNB) and 3-cyanobenzaldehyde (3CNB) in CS2/C6D12 and acetone-d6 solutions at 300 K yield precise stereospecific long-range proton–proton coupling constants. These are used to establish the conformational population of the o-cis and o-trans conformers of these relatively polar molecules. For example, the fractional o-cis population of 2CNB changes from 0.12(4) in CS2/C6D12 to 0.46(6) in acetone-d6, whereas that of 3CNB is 0.48(2) in both solvents. Extrapolation to the vapor phase, using a dielectric model, implies a negligible concentration of the o-cis conformer of 2CNB and a roughly 50% abundance of each conformer of 3CNB. Computations at various levels of molecular orbital theory provide estimates of the rotational barrier of the aldehyde moiety and confirm the planar structure of each conformer. The geometries of three conformers are given as obtained from the 6-31G MO basis and may be useful to molecular spectroscopists. Theoretical and experimental dipole moments are interpolated to yield estimates of their magnitudes for the four planar conformers. Somewhat less precise 1H nmr spectral parameters (than for the above solutions) are also obtained for dilute solutions in benzene-d6 at 300 K. The conformational distributions based on these parameters are compared with their only other measurement, based on dipolar moments in benzene at 298 K. Good agreement between the results of the two methods is found for 3CNB but not for 2CNB. It is suggested that specific interactions occur between benzene solvent and solute molecules, particularly for 3CNB, for which these interactions stabilize the conformer having a low dipole moment. Remarkable changes in the intraring proton–proton coupling constants occur in going from CS2/C6D12 to acetone-d6 solution. Key words: 2- and 3-cyanobenzaldehyde (2CNB and 3CNB): 1H NMR, conformations, long-range spin–spin coupling constants, MO computations.

In N-ethyl-4-chloro-2-nitroaniline there exists a measurable indirect spin–spin coupling constant of ±0.39 ± 0.03 Hz between the methylene protons and ring proton 6. The amino proton is coupled to ring protons 5 and 6 and also to the methylene protons. Consequently, although the amino proton resonance is broad due to incompletely relaxed coupling to 14N, normal multiple resonance experiments show that 5JmH,NH = 0.67 ± 0.03 Hz and 4JoH,NH = −0.35 ± 0.03 Hz.

Long-range spin–spin coupling constants over five bonds between the two amino protons and the ring protons are reported for some ortho disubstituted aniline derivatives in cyclohexane and benzene-d6 solutions. Equal coupling of both amino protons to the meta protons in unsymmetrically ortho disubstituted aniline derivatives indicates the occurrence of intramolecular exchange of the amino protons. The absence of any observable coupling over six bonds to the para proton places an upper limit on the degree of nonplanarity of the amino group in the 2,6-dibromo- and 2,6-dichloroanilines. A relatively basic compound like 2,4,6-trimethylaniline does not display long-range couplings of the amino protons, very likely because intermolecular proton exchange occurs.

Density functional theory (DFT) has provided detailed information on the molecular structure and spin–spin coupling constants of heparin tetrasaccharide (GlcNS,6S-IdoA2S-GlcNS,6S-IdoA2S-OMe) representing the predominant heparin repeating-sequence. The fully optimised molecular structures of two tetrasaccharide conformations (differing from each other in the conformational form of the sulphated iduronic acid residue–one 1C4 and the other 2S0) were obtained using the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory and applying explicit water molecules to simulate the presence of a solvent. The theoretical data provided insight into variations of the bond lengths, bond angles and torsion angles, formations of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds and ionic interactions. Optimised molecular structures indicated the formation of a complex hydrogen bond network, including interresidue and intraresidue bonds. The ionic interactions strongly influence the first hydration shell and, together with hydrogen bonds, play an important role in shaping the 3D tetrasaccharide structure. DFT-derived indirect three–bond proton–proton coupling constants (3JH-C-C-H) showed that the best agreement with experiment was obtained with a weighted average of 67:33 (1C4:2S0) of the IdoA2S forms. Detailed analysis of Fermi-contact contributions to 3JH-C-C-H showed that important contributions arise from the oxygen lone pairs of neighbouring oxygen atoms. The analysis also showed that the magnitude of diamagnetic spin–orbit contributions are sufficiently large to determine the magnitude of some proton–proton coupling constants. The data highlight the need to use appropriate quantum-chemical calculations for a detailed understanding of the solution properties of heparin oligosaccharides.
