The signs and magnitudes of the spin–spin coupling constants over three to six bonds between protons in isothiazole, isoxazole, and in 10 of their alkyl derivatives are measured and discussed in terms of the coupling mechanisms. The chemical shifts of ring protons and methyl protons appear to arise from a common mechanism originating in the ring but are not simply related to electron densities calculated by molecular orbital theory at the CNDO/2 level of approximation.

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.

The signs and magnitudes of spin–spin coupling constants over five and/or six bonds in some N-methyl and N,N-dimethyl hydrazones, in methyl vinyl ether, 4-methoxy-3-butene-2-one, 1-methoxy-1,3-butadiene, 1-butene, and in anisole are discussed in terms of coupling mechanisms. In the hydrazones the five-bond couplings between methyl and olefinic protons are negative, while six-bond couplings between protons in methyl groups are positive, a reversal of the expected sign sequence. INDO-MO-FPT calculations are not in agreement with observation, but the disagreement may be a consequence of faulty structural assumptions. The sizeable six-bond couplings imply a negative σ–π contribution to the five-bond constants. The calculated and observed negative couplings over five bonds in methyl vinyl ether and the other molecules above emphasize their dependence on the proximity of the bonds containing the coupled nuclei and are reliable indicators of bond arrangements in these molecules.

The chemical shifts and the ring proton coupling constants of various substituted carbethoxypyrroles are reported.The electron-withdrawing effect of the carbethoxy groups shifts the resonances of the ring substituents to low field while the inductive and mesomeric effects of the methyl groups shift the resonances to higher field. The deshielding effect is more pronounced with 2-carbethoxypyrroles than for 3-carbethoxypyrroles. The ring proton spin–spin coupling constants depend on the nature of substituents and increase with the electronegativity of the substituents. In some cases long-range coupling between the methyl side-chain protons and ring protons could be observed.

A full analysis of the p.m.r. spectra of coumarin and five of its methyl derivatives allows the assignment of σ and π electron components to the inter-ring proton–proton spin–spin coupling constants. Magnitudes of up to 0.3 Hz are observed over a coupling path of eight bonds. The σ and π components can be combined on the basis of the appropriate valence bond structures to predict closely the observed parameters in naphthalene, suggesting only weak participation of the ether oxygen atom in the π electron system of coumarin. Calculations of the inter-ring coupling constants at the INDO and CNDO/2 levels of molecular orbital theory are helpful in the interpretation of the observed data, the agreement with experiment being quantitative in many instances. Comparison of the observed coupling constants in coumarin and styrene with the INDO results for an assumed planar form of the latter suggests that styrene exists in a nonplanar conformation.

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) play an important role in many biological processes in the extracellular matrix. In a theoretical approach, structures of monosaccharide building blocks of natural GAGs and their sulfated derivatives were optimized by a B3LYP6311ppdd//B3LYP/6-31+G(d) method. The dependence of the observed conformational properties on the applied methodology is described. NMR chemical shifts and proton-proton spin-spin coupling constants were calculated using the GIAO approach and analyzed in terms of the method's accuracy and sensitivity towards the influence of sulfation, O1-methylation, conformations of sugar ring, andωdihedral angle. The net sulfation of the monosaccharides was found to be correlated with the1H chemical shifts in the methyl group of the N-acetylated saccharides both theoretically and experimentally. Theωdihedral angle conformation populations of free monosaccharides and monosaccharide blocks within polymeric GAG molecules were calculated by a molecular dynamics approach using the GLYCAM06 force field and compared with the available NMR and quantum mechanical data. Qualitative trends for the impact of sulfation and ring conformation on the chemical shifts and proton-proton spin-spin coupling constants were obtained and discussed in terms of the potential and limitations of the computational methodology used to be complementary to NMR experiments and to assist in experimental data assignment.

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.
