The basicities of the triarylphosphines P(4-XC6H4)3 (X = Cl, F, H, CH3, CH3O, (CH3)2N), P(3-CH3C6H4)3, and P(2-CH3C6H7)3 as well as the trialkylphosphines P(t-Bu)3 and PCy3 have been measured by the nitromethane titration method. The range of basicity available by aryl substitution is very large, being pKa = 8.65 for X = (CH3)2N to 1.03 for X = Cl. The most basic phosphine is P(t-Bu)3 whose pKa = 11.40. The measured basicities correlate well with σp, [Formula: see text], and ν as well as with the lone pair ionisation potentials of the triarylphosphines. Generally the 1H, 31P, and 13C nmr spectral parameters of the free and protonated phosphines do not correlate well with pKa.

13C and 119Sn NMR spectra of diphenyl- and dibenzyltin(IV) compounds have been studied in solutions of coordinating and non-coordinating solvents. Regions of values of the δ(119Sn) chemical shifts have been determined which characterize individual types of coordination of the central tin atom. The values of 13C NMR spectral parameters, the δ(13C) chemical shifts and nJ(119Sn, 13C) coupling constants, have been used to describe the real shapes of coordination sphere of the central tin atom and to discuss the internal structure of the organic substituents and of the nature of their bonding linkage to the tin atom.

29Si, 13C, and 31P NMR spectra of a series of compounds of the structure (CH3)3-n(C2H5O)n.Si(CH2)mP(C6H5)2 (m = 1-6, n = )-3) are reported and assigned. Using monodeutero derivative of the compound with m = 3 and n = 0 an earlier assignment of 13C NMR spectrum is confirmed, but the assignment in the compounds with m = 4 is reversed. Introduction of ethoxy groups leads to violation of additivity rule for the 13C chemical shifts in the derivatives with m = 1. In all derivatives presence of one ethoxy group in the molecule has a profound effect on 31P chemical shift which is not changed by any further increase in the number of ethoxy groups in the molecule. The changes in 29Si chemical shifts follow the pattern known from other series of compounds. The observed trends in NMR parameters with changing n and m values can be explained by an interaction between phosphorus and oxygen atoms. Possible connections between the spectral parameters and catalysis employing the studied compounds are discussed.

1H and 13C NMR spectral parameters are reported for the S-pseudoazulenes thialene (cyclopenta[b]thiapyran) (I) and isothialene (cyclopenta[c]thiapyran) (II). Both compounds display complex first order spectra, with thialene having 10 and isothialene 14 of 15 possible coupling constants. Complete unambiguous assignments of all protons and non-quaternary carbons were made via 2-dimensional NMR techniques and PPP-SCF π-electron density/chemical shift and π-bond order/vicinal coupling constant correlations.

The FT-IR (in carbon tetrachloride) and 13C-NMR (in deuterochloroform) spectra of six p-substituted aniline derivatives, as reference compounds, and nine 1- p-aminophenyl-azoles and benzazoles were recorded. The measured spectral parameters from FT-IR were symmetric, vs(NH2), and antisymmetric, vas(NH2), stretching fundamentals and their band intensity ratio, A( vas)/ A( vs), while the corresponding 13C-NMR parameters were C-1 to C-4 chemical shifts of 1- p-aminophenyl carbons. Different IR and 13C-NMR spectral parameters and Hammett constants σp (or σp-) were correlated, and statistic analysis of the results permitted an estimation of σp values of the nine (azol-1-yl) substituents. An empirical equation to calculate the Hammett constants of new azoles and benzazoles is proposed.

13C nmr chemical shifts and 13C–15N couplings through one, two, and three bonds are reported for E-acetophenone oxime and five para-substituted derivatives. It is shown that earlier assignments for three of these compounds, based on lanthanide induced shifts and CNDO calculations, are erroneous. With the exception of the methoxyl group, couplings are relatively insensitive to the nature of the para-function. For geminal 13C–15N interactions, the proximity of the nitrogen lone pair to the carbon terminus greatly enhances the absolute value of the coupling constant.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the amnesic shellfish poison, domoic acid, in H2O and D2O solutions have been studied as a function of pH or pD. The results yielded the NMR spectral parameters for each of the five protonation stages of domoic acid, provided accurate pKa values, and enabled each pKa to be associated with a particular protonation site.

The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectral parameters are reported for 4.0 mol% solutions of 2-(4-chlorophenylthio) benzaldehyde in CS2/C6D12 and acetone-d6 at 300 K. In CS2 the O-syn conformer is 36% abundant, rising to 50% in acetone-d6. These abundances are compared to those of the O-syn and O-trans conformers of 2-(alkylthio) benzaldehydes in CCl4, solution. On the basis of coupling constants and chemical shifts it is concluded that the skew conformer of the title compound is very likely the one of minimum energy in both solutions. In the skew conformer the plane of the 4-chlorophenyl group lies perpendicular to the CSC plane and also to that of the other aromatic moiety. It is suggested that the [Formula: see text] interaction is rather weak and that the population of the O-syn conformer is controlled by the orientation of the mainly 3p lone-pair orbital on sulfur. At best, the [Formula: see text] interaction is attractive only when the 3p orbital lies perpendicular to the plane of the formyl group. The skew conformation of the title compound is contrasted to the skew conformation of 2-hydroxyphenyl phenyl sulfide in which, however, the role of the two aromatic planes is reversed; the 3p orbital now lies in or near the plane of the phenyl group COH due to an attractive [Formula: see text] interaction.

Complete spectral parameters for the 1H nmr spectra of 2-hydroxyphenyl methyl sulfide, 2, 2-hydroxyphenyl phenyl sulfide, 3, bis(2-hydroxy-3-tert-butyl-5-methylphenyl) sulfide, 4, and bis(2-hydroxyphenyl) disulfide, 5, are reported for CCl4 solutions at 305 K. For 2 the parameters are consistent only with a conformation in which the C—S—C plane is roughly perpendicular to the aromatic plane. The conformational determinant is the [Formula: see text] hydrogen bond which forces the mainly 3p orbital on sulfur into the benzene plane. In 3 a similar arrangement is found about the sulfur atom, with the phenyl group lying in the C—S—C plane and therefore perpendicular to the hydroxyphenyl plane (skew conformation). In 4 two [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonds exist, yielding a gable (twist) conformation. Compound 5 exists in the axial conformation with probable C2 symmetry, the CSSC dihedral angle and the CCSS torsion angles all being near 90°. For none of the compounds is there any evidence for [Formula: see text] interactions.

The electronic nature of various C-substituted nitrones was investigated by IR spectroscopy and 13C NMR as well as MNDO calculations. These include α-methoxy nitrones (imidate N-oxides) RC(OMe)=N(O)t-Bu with R = p-MeOC6H4 (Ia), C6H5 (Ib), p-NO2C6H4 (Ic), and H (Id) and nitrones YCH=N(O)t-Bu with Y = CN (IIIa), n-BuS (IIIb), C6H5CH2NH (IIIc). Upfield 13C shifts of C(α), the iminyl (C=N) carbon, of imidate N-oxides I versus the corresponding imidates are less than the usual upfield shifts of imine N-oxides versus imines, suggesting less buildup of electron density on C(α) in the case of alcoxy nitrones. Charge density and π bond order values from MNDO calculations for C-methoxy-C-phenyl nitrones versus model systems confirm this result and indicate a more localized C=N π bond in nitrones bearing an α-methoxy group. For N-tert-butyl nitrones with an α heteroatom (nitrogen or sulfur), phenyl, or cyano group, C(α) shifts move downfield for π-donating groups and upfield for π-accepting groups. This "reverse substituent effect" as well as C=N stretching frequencies can also be readily explained by C=N π bond containment by lone pair groups. The reported enhanced cycloaddition reactivity of α-alkoxy nitrones and their electrochemical behavior are discussed in terms of HOMO energy levels.

The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectral parameters are reported for triphenylphosphine as solutions in CS2/C6D12 and acetone-d6 at 300 K. The internal rotational potential opposing torsion about the P—C bond is computed by AMI and STO-3G MO methods. The computed potentials are used to calculate the average shielding of the para protons caused by the diamagnetic anisotropies of the neighbouring phenyl groups. The results are used to estimate the degree of electron delocalization from the lone pair on phosphorus. The extent of delocalization depends on the internal motions and comparisons are made with phenylphosphine. The maximum possible screening of the para protons in phenylphosphine is calculated as 0.19 ppm for a conformation in which the lone pair on phosphorus is oriented perpendicular to the aromatic plane. The intramolecular rotational potentials then yield 0.029 ppm as the shielding of the para protons in triphenylphosphine due to electron delocalization, just as found for the CS2/C6D12 solution after correction for diamagnetic anisotropy fields.
