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.

1H nmr spectral parameters are reported for salicylaldehyde and 15 of its derivatives in dilute CCl4 solutions. In those compounds in which sufficiently large substituents are placed ortho to either of the functional groups or in which substituents enhance the charge density in the carbonyl group, a positive spin–spin coupling is observed between the two sidechain protons. This coupling, formally over five bonds, correlates with the chemical shift of the hydroxyl proton. The coupling mechanism is discussed from various viewpoints. STO 3G MO calculations give an optimized planar structure for salicylaldehyde. Nonplanar structures are less stable than the planar form. The energy of the hydrogen bond in salicylaldehyde lies near 30 kJ/mol and increases to 36 kJ/mol in the 4,6-dimethoxy derivative. Other small long-range spin–spin coupling constants in these compounds are also discussed.

Variations of the metal chemical shifts δ(51V), δ(55Mn) and δ(93Nb) with the paramagnetic deshielding contribution to the overall shielding are discussed in terms of influences imposed by the ligand field splitting, the nephelauxetic effect and the covalency of the metal-to-ligand bond. Complexes under investigation are isoelectronic and/or iso-structural series [M(CO)6-nLn]q (M = V, Nb: q = -1; M = Mn: q = + 1; n = 0-6), η5-C5H5M(CO)4-nLn (M = V, Nb; n = 0-4) and η5-C5H5M(L')2L (M = V, L' = NO; M = Mn, L' = CO). L is a monodentate or l/n oligodentate phosphine. η varies with the point symmetry of the complex, and with ligand parameters of primarily electronic or steric origin. Generally, for weak to medium π-interaction, there is a decrease of shielding with decreasing π-acceptor power of the ligand, increasing ligand bulkiness, increasing ring strains in chelate structures and increasing degree of substitution. For strong π-interaction, the trends may be interconverted. PF3 is shown to be a slightly weaker π-acceptor than CO. Selected results on nuclear-spin spin coupling constants, 13C and 31P shielding are also presented

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.
