AbstractIf for a given system two-dimensional (2D) 119Sn/1H heteronuclear shift correlations can be established for long range coupling constants nJ(119Sn,1H) (n = 4, 6), absolute signs of coupling constants J(Sn,Sn) are accessible by this technique for the first time. This has been demonstrated for tetrakis(trimethylstannyl)allene (1) with 2J(119Sn,117Sn) (>0) and 4J(Sn. 117Sn) (<0) and for tris(trimethylstannyl)phosphane (2) and bis(trimethvlstannyl)- sulfane (3) with 2J(119Sn,117Sn) (<0).

The signs o f the coupling constants 1J(31P≡13C) ( > O ) , J(31P13C) ( > O ) , 3J(31P13C) ( > O ) and 4J(31P1H) ( > O ) in tert-butyl-phosphaalkyne (1) were determined by selective 1H {31P} NMR experiments and two-dimensional (2 D ) 13C/1H heteronuclear shift correlations based on nJ(13C1H ) (n = 1,2,3), confirming the previously assumed positive sign of 1J( 31P≡13C) in phosphaalkynes.

The signs of all proton–proton and proton–fluorine spin–spin coupling constants in 2-fluoro-3-methylpyridine have been determined by double and triple resonance experiments. The signs of the longrange coupling constants, JH,CH3 and JF,CH3 are the same as in fluorotoluene derivatives. Their magnitudes are consistent with the assumption that the nitrogen atom primarily polarizes the σ bonds in the molecule, leaving the π contribution to the long-range coupling relatively unaffected.

The stereospecific spin–spin coupling constants over five bonds between the α-proton in the side chain and the protons in the heterocycle in 2-vinylfuran, in its β-nitro and β-aldehydic derivatives, and in 2-vinylthiophene are used to demonstrate the preponderance of the s-trans conformers in polar and nonpolar solutions. These conclusions are compared with predictions made by molecular orbital theory at the STO-3G, INDO, CNDO/2, and MINDO/3 levels. Long-range coupling constants between the protons in the side chain and protons in the heterocycle are calculated by CNDO/2 and INDO–MO–FPT and are compared with experiment. It is concluded that the five-bond couplings involving the α-proton are most sensitive to conformation and that they are transmitted mainly via a σ electron mechanism. The other long-range coupling constants are discussed in terms of σ and π electron mechanisms. The STO-3G calculations yield barriers to internal rotation of greater than 4.8 kcal/mol.

The long-range spin–spin coupling constants between protons bonded to silicon and ring protons in C6H5SiH3, C6H5SiH2Cl, C6H5SiH2CH3, C6H5SiHCl2, and C6H5SiH(CH3)2 are determined from the proton magnetic resonance spectra of benzene solutions. A hindered rotor treatment of the barrier to internal rotation about the C—Si bond, in conjunction with the coupling constants over six bonds, allows the deduction of the low-energy conformations for C6H5SiH(CH3)2 and for C6H5SiHCl2, as well as of barriers of 1.0 ± 0.2 kcal/mol. The approach becomes less reliable for C6H5SiH2CH3 and for C6H5SiH2Cl and, particularly for the latter compound, the derived barrier is very likely an upper limit only. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations of the conformational energies are reported for C6H5SiH3, C6H5SiH2Cl, and for C6H5SiHCl2.
