In 2-chloro-6-methylphenol in CCl4 solution, [Formula: see text] the spin–spin coupling between the hydroxyl and methyl protons, is + 68(3) mHz. In this compound, the hydroxyl group lies trans to the methyl group. If the coupling becomes −120 ± 60 mHz in a cis orientation of these two groups, then the apparent vanishing of [Formula: see text] in some derivatives of 2-methylphenol is understandable, as well as its presence in other derivatives. Computations of this coupling imply its proximate mechanism and can rationalize its value of −220 ± 20 mHz in 2-tert-butyl-6-methylphenol. Analogies are noted with [Formula: see text] in 2-trifluoromethyl phenol and with a coupling in styrene, which also appears to vanish in certain orientations of the vinyl group.

The long-range spin–spin coupling constants between hydroxyl protons and ring protons or fluorine nuclei are used to establish the conformer populations in iodine and brornine derivatives of 2-trifluoromethylphenol in C6H12, CCl4, and C6D6 solutions. The sequence Cl, [Formula: see text] is established for the so-called hydrogen bonding preferences of the hydroxyl group in 2,4,6-trisubstituted phenols, the corresponding free energy sequence being −ΔG = 1690, 1690 > 1300 > 1230 > 0 ± 200 cal/mol at 32 °C in CCl4 solution. An indirect estimate of the free energy differences in the vapor phase suggests the sequence −ΔG = 2800, 2800 > 2400 > 2300 > 1100 ± 300 cal/mol; the latter value meaning that the hydroxyl group in 4-bromo-2-trifluoromethylphenol prefers the CF3 group by this amount in the vapor phase. Benzene interacts preferentially with the OH group in this compound to the extent of 1300 cal/mol (ΔG), referenced to the vapor phase.

On the basis of the observed five-bond spin–spin coupling constants between the α protons and the meta ring protons in the 2,6-difluoro derivatives of toluene, ethylbenzene, and cumene, it is argued that [Formula: see text] in toluene can be written as A[Formula: see text]. A and B are of the same sign and of very similar magnitude. In consequence, [Formula: see text] cannot be used to measure the conformational preference of the methyl group. However, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in α-substituted toluene derivatives will be useful in conformational studies. [Formula: see text] in toluene derivatives varies between 0.30 and 0.46 Hz and some patterns in its ring substituent dependence can be gleaned from some fifty precise values.

The spin–spin coupling over six bonds between 19F and 13C nuclei on the sidechain in thirteen 4-fluorophenyl derivatives appears to be mediated by a σ–π mechanism. Its magnitude depends somewhat on the hybridization state of the carbon atom carrying the coupled nucleus, as well as on the electronegativity of substituents attached to this carbon atom. A consistent behaviour of this coupling is observed if its value is assumed to be proportional to sin2 θ, where θ is the angle by which the bond carrying the coupled carbon nucleus twists out of the ring plane. However, in 4-fluorostyrene [Formula: see text] is a π electron coupling in the planar form, so that its magnitude decreases as the vinyl group twists out of the benzene plane. The σ–π contribution to this coupling is smaller than the π component. [Formula: see text] is used to assess the conformational preferences of a number of compounds, including 4-fluoro-α-methylstyrene, 4,4′-difluorodiphenylmethane, 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-fluorophenyl)ethane, and 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-methylcyclohexylamine.

Seven methyl derivatives of the 3- and 4-fluoropyridines are synthesized and their p.m.r. spectra are analyzed. The nuclear spin–spin coupling constants are compared with previous results for the four methyl derivatives of 2-fluoropyridine. A model in which the nitrogen atom polarizes primarily the σ electron system of the ring, leaving the π electron contribution to the coupling mechanism relatively unaffected, qualitatively accounts for the large majority of the coupling constants. For example, the coupling over six bonds between methyl protons and a fluorine nucleus, [Formula: see text] is the same whether the fluorine atom or the methyl group is placed ortho to the nitrogen atom and is little different from its value in p-fluorotoluene. The model is consistent with significant σ electron contributions to long-range couplings over four and five bonds from methyl protons to fluorine nuclei or ring protons. Evidence is adduced for resonance structures in which fluorine conjugates with nitrogen or with ring carbon atoms. An earlier suggestion, that hyperconjugation of the methyl group with nitrogen is necessary to the interpretation of the observed couplings, is dropped. Instead, a substantial polarization of the σ electron core near C-2 and -6 is invoked but apparently does not extend appreciably beyond these atoms in the ring.

The conformational preferences in CCl4 solution at 32 °C of the hydroxyl groups in bromine derivatives of 1,3-dihydroxybenzene are deduced from the long-range spin–spin coupling constants between hydroxyl protons and ring protons over five bonds. Two hydroxyl groups hydrogen bond to the same bromine substituent in 2-bromo-1,3-dihydroxybenzene but prefer to hydrogen bond to different bromine substituents when available, as in 2,4-dibromo-1,3-dihydroxybenzene. When the OH groups can each choose between two ortho bromine atoms, as in 2,4,6-tribromoresorcinol, they apparently do so in a very nearly statistical manner except that they avoid hydrogen bonding to the common bromine atom.

Thallium to fluorine spin–spin coupling constants have been measured for a number of fluoro- and trifluoro-methyl-substituted mono- and di-arylthallium derivatives. The results provide evidence of "through-space" coupling in the diaryl derivatives when the fluoro- or trifluoro-methyl group is ortho to the thallium atom. Keywords: thallium, fluorine, NMR, through-space coupling.

Spin Spin Coupling

Long-range spin–spin coupling constants between sulfhydryl protons and ring protons in some halothiophenol derivatives in CCl4 solutions are reported. In contrast to the corresponding phenol derivatives, substantial amounts of out-of-plane conformers are present at 305 K for all but 2,6-dichlorothiophenol. The cis and trans conformers differ by only about 0.2 kcal/mol in free energy for 2,4-dibromothiophenol and 2,4-dichlorothiophenol, in good agreement with a recent analysis of the dipole moment observed for the latter compound. The barrier to internal rotation of the sulfhydryl group is considerably smaller than for a hydroxyl group and rough estimates are given for the barrier in a few compounds. For example, the barrier in 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorothiophenol is lower than in 2,6-dichlorothiophenol. STO-3G MO calculations overestimate the internal barrier to rotation of the sulfhydryl group, but yield charge densities for this group which indicate that a major cause of the relative weakness of its intramolecular hydrogen bonds resides in its lack of polarity.

The through-space or proximate nuclear spin–spin coupling constant, 5J(F,CH3) = 5J, between methyl protons and ring fluorine nuclei in alkylfluorobenzenes is postulated as [Formula: see text] θ being the torsional angle for the [Formula: see text] bond. A and B are obtained from the known internal rotational behaviour in 2,6-difluoroethylbenzene and the corresponding cumene derivative. The parameterization is tested on the observed 5J in derivatives of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butyl- and 2,4,6-tri-isopropyl-fluorobenzene, in 2-chloro-6-fluoroisopropylbenzene, 2,6-difluoro-α-methylstyrene, and N-methyl-8-fluoroquinolinium halides. A prediction is made for 5J in 2,6-difluoro-tert-butylbenzene. It appears that the present parameterization allows the derivation of approximate torsional potentials from proximate couplings, for example in α,α-dimethyl-2,6-difluorobenzyl alcohol.

The changes in the interatomic distances and the corresponding spin-spin coupling as a result of the hydrolysis of the ruthenium complexes and the effects of different derivatives of the pyrazole ligands and the substituents methyl, carboxylic, and phenyl on the pyrazole rings were studied. A good agreement was obtained between the experimental and the theoretical proton NMR. Significant changes are observed in the isotropic and anisotropic shielding tensor of the atoms and related spin-spin coupling of their bonds due to hydrolysis of the complexes. This observation gives more insight into the known mechanism of activation of the ruthenium complexes by hydrolysis. There are no direct effects of interatomic distances on many of the computed spin-spin couplings with the exception of1J(Ru-N) which shows significant changes especially within the pair of1J(Ru-N) in the complexes with two nitrogen atoms of the bis-pyrazole moiety. The magnitude of interatomic spin-spin coupling of the Ru-X follows the order of Ru-Cl > Ru-N > Ru-C > Ru-O. The Ramsey term Fermi contact (FC) has the most significant contribution in most of the computed spin-spin interactions except in1J(Ru-Cl) and1J(N-N⁎) which are predominantly defined by the contribution from the paramagnetic spin orbit (PSO).
