Molecular orbital theory at the INDO level of approximation is used to calculate the Fermi contact contribution to three-bond carbon–proton coupling constants in propane. The calculations predict a dihedral angle dependence of 3J(13C,H) in the 13C—C—C—H fragment similar to that observed for 3J(H,H), 3J(19F,H), and for 3J(31P,H) in the saturated X—C—C—H fragments.

The twofold internal barriers to rotation about the C—S bond in 3,5-diX-thiophenols were determined in solution from long-range spin–spin coupling constants. They are 3.4, 4.85, 5.3, 6.45, and 7.25 ± 10% kJ/mol for X = H, CH3, OCH3, F, and Cl, respectively. In 3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxythiophenol, V2 is −0.8 kJ/mol as compared to −1.9 kJ/mol in 4-methoxythiophenol. The para substituent here dominates. The observed barriers are in rough agreement with arguments based on perturbation molecular orbital theory and with MO calculations of changes in the barrier caused by substituents. The computed values appear as nearly pure twofold barriers with very small fourfold components.

The anisotropy of the indirect 31P,199Hg spin–spin coupling constant, ΔJ, in solid [HgP(o-tolyl)3(NO3)2]2 is obtained from an analysis of the 31P nuclear magnetic resonance powder pattern. The value of ΔJ, 5170 ± 250 Hz, is large and indicates that mechanisms other than the Fermi contact mechanism are important for this spin–spin coupling. The powder spectrum also indicates that the absolute sign of 1J(31P,199Hg) is positive.

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.

Benzaldehyde Derivatives

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 one-bond carbon-nitrogen coupling constant of diazomethane is reported. Analogies with carbon-carbon coupling constants in allenes are emphasized. CNDO/S-calculations are used as a support of the suggestions the C-N coupling in diazomethane to be dominated by the Fermi contact mechanism and the sign of the carbon-nitrogen-15 coupling constant to be negative

Spin Spin Coupling

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.

Spin Spin Coupling

Carbon-13, proton nuclear spin–spin coupling constants have been measured for a number of 4-substituted isothiazoles. The observed values are compared with those measured in other heterocyclic systems and those calculated in the parent and related heterocyclics using finite perturbation theory and semi-empirical molecular orbital theory at the CNDO/2 and INDO levels of approximation.
