The analyses of the 1H nmr spectra of fluorene, 2,7-dibromofluorene, and anthrone are reported. The benzylic couplings in these compounds are compared with those in indene and toluene. It is argued that the six-bond and five-bond couplings in anthrone are more compatible with a nonplanar than a planar central ring. The spectrum of the 2,7-dibromofluorene suggest that couplings between protons in different benzenoid rings are small, perhaps no larger than 0.05 Hz.

The 1H nmr spectral parameters are extracted for a 4 mol% solution of 2-methylthiobenzaldehyde in CCl4 at 305 K. The long-range spin–spin coupling constants involving the aldehydic and methyl protons are consistent only with a preferred conformation in which all heavy atoms are coplanar, as are the chemical shifts of the ring and methyl protons. This conclusion contradicts previous interpretations of the dipole moment, the nmr parameters, and of the infrared data for CCl4 solutions. The present data show that the O-syn and O-anti forms of the compound are present in roughly equal proportions.

The configurational isomers of the title compounds consist of four fused five-membered rings. They contain tightly coupled 1H NMR spin systems, which provide excellent models for establishing the relationships between coupling constants and conformation. Complete chemical shift assignments and spin–spin coupling constants are reported for the title compounds by using high-field (500 MHz) 1H NMR techniques (e.g., 2D homonuclear and heteronuclear experiments, difference NOE enhancements, and computational spin simulations). In addition to the more familiar two- and three-bond couplings, the spectra of 1 and 2 also contain a number of long-range (four- and five- bond) couplings, which provide a stringent test of Barfield's theoretical treatment of four-bond couplings.

AbstractThe basic INEPT pulse sequence proved most useful for recording 15N NMR spectra at natural abundance of bis(amino)stannvlenes (1). -plumbylenes (2) and of imino-amino-λ2-phosphanes (3), where the nitrogen atoms carry bulky substituents like Me3Si-, t-Bu-, 2.4.4-trimethyl-2- pentyl-groups (t-Oct-groups) or are part of the 2.2.6.6-tetramethylpiperidinyl group. The sensitiv­ity of this technique is proved by the observation of 117/119Sn or 207Pb satellites owing to spin-spin coupling constants 1J(117/119Sn15N) and 1J(117/119Pb15N), respectively. NMR data of bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]tin (4) are reported in order to corroborate the arguments for the interpretation of the δ(15N) and 1J(119Sn15N) data. The 15N NMR data of the λ2-phosphanes (3) indicate a bonding situation similar to that in triazenes.

The 13C, 69/71Ga and 115In NMR spectra of lithium tetra(tert-butyl)gallate and -indate were measured under various conditions. It proved possible to determine for the first time the coupling constants 1J(69/71Ga,13C) = 182 Hz/232 Hz and 1J(115In,13C) = 310±10 Hz for these metallates under conditions for solvent-separated ions. DFT calculations [B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)] were carried out for organogallium compounds such as tri(tert-butyl)gallium, trimethylgallium and tetramethylgallate in order to predict and confirm coupling constants 1J(Ga,13C).

A complete analysis of the 1H and 19F nmr spectra of 2,5- and 3,4-difluorobenzotrifluoride, together with multiple resonance experiments, yields the signs and magnitudes of the long-range 19F,19F and 1H,19F spin–spin coupling constants. The coupling mechanisms are discussed. In particular, the coupling over six bonds, [Formula: see text], whose sign is interpretable in terms of a σ–π mechanism, is too large in magnitude when compared to [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] in the analogous compounds. These latter three couplings are consistent in sign and magnitude with what is known about hyperfine interaction constants. The magnitudes of [Formula: see text] are reported for 4-fluorobenzotrifluoride, 3-amino-4-fluorobenzotrifluoride, 3-nitro-4-fluorobenzotrifluoride, as are 6JpF,F values for p-fluorobenzal fluoride and p-fluorobenzyl fluoride. In contrast to 6JpH,CH and 6JpF,CH it seems unlikely that, unless its coupling mechanism becomes more precisely understood, 6JpF,CF will be a reliable indicator of conformational preferences.
