Calculation of the 1J(PP) angular dependence in P2H4

Using the results obtained from an MO SCF ab initio calculation on P₂H₄ in four different conformations, the ¹J(PP) NMR coupling constants have been calculated. The ¹J(PP) values are highly dependent upon the rotational angle φ (?238.0 Hz in the eclipsed conformation, 10.9 Hz in the staggered one). The shape of the theoretical ¹J(PP) plot seems to be in good agreement with experimentally measured ¹J(PP) values.     

NMR study (1H, 13C and 29Si) of (CH3)4−x Si(CHCH2)x compounds where x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

The ¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR spectra of the various methylvinylsilanes have been analysed with the aid of a special simulation program. From considerations of the chemical shifts and of the coupling constants ^2,3j_¹H-¹H, ¹J_¹³C-¹H, ¹J_{²⁹Si-¹³C} and ²J_{²⁹Si-C-¹H} it is shown that a mesomeric —M effect from the vinyl group to the Me—Si group is important, in very good agreement with previously published PES results [1–3]. The mesomeric interaction in this series is ascribed to a {d, σ^*—π} hyperconjugation in accordance with theoretical considerations [4].     

The preparation and 119Sn and 19F NMR spectra of some trifluoromethylphenyltin(IV) compounds

The preparation of a series of new trifluoromethylphenyltin(IV) compounds, Bu_nSn(C₆H₄CF₃-3)_4-n, (C₆H₄CF₃-3)SnCl₃, (C₆H₄CF₃-2)SnCl₃, and some related adducts with 2,2¹-bipyridyl and 1,10-phenanthroline, is described. ¹¹⁹Sn and ¹⁹F chemical shifts have been determined, together with values of J(¹¹⁹Sn=F) and ³J(¹¹⁹Sn=H_itortho), and the possibility of a “through space” tinfluorine coupling mechanism is also discussed.     

19F and 1H NMR and ESR investigations of aryl-t-butyl nitroxides and nitronylnitroxides

¹H and ¹⁹F NMR and ESR spectra of several nitroxides have been recorded. The ¹⁹F couplings are sensitive to steric factors and this shows why the simple linear relationship a_F = O_eff^F· ?_C^π is not adequate. The π and σ spin delocalization mechanisms are demonstrated. The spin transmission via oxygen and sulphur is affected by geometry (efficiency of pπ-nπ overlap), pπ-dπ overlap only plays a role in positively charged S atoms (sulphones). The absolute sign of the proton coupling in an alkyl chain depends upon chain length and substituents. The syntheses of several stable nitroxides are described.     

29Si and 13C NMR Studies of organofunctional di- and trisilanes

A series of di- and trisilanes of general structure Ph₃SiSiMe₂R and (Ph₃Si)₂SiR′R″ were synthesized, and the ²⁹Si and ¹³C chemical shifts and one-bond siliconsilicon coupling constants (¹J_SiSi) were measured. The coupling constants of the disilanes were found to be primarily dependent upon the inductive effect of the alkyl group, R, as measured by the Taft o^★ constant. In both series of compounds, increasing alkyl substitution at silicon led to a decrease in ¹J_SiSi.     

13C-19F couplings and 19F NMR shifts of cycloalkyl,bicycloalkyl and steroid monofluoro compounds1

The stereospecifity of ¹³C-¹⁹F couplings is investigated with 20 alicyclic compounds. One bond couplings, ranging from 168 to 214 Hz, can be represented as a function of the corresponding ¹³C-H coupling constants. For comparison ¹³C-¹H couplings are determined for norboraane and adamantane and indicate considerable s character at the bridgehead C-H bond of the latter compound. One bond and geminal couplings (ranging from 18 to 24 Hz) are found to depend not significantly on the steric environment. With vicinal couplings a strong dependence is established on torsional angles, which is fitted to a Karplus function. Typical values for CCCF trans arrangements are around 10 Hz, for gauche angles less than 1.5 Hz. Vicinal couplings are substantially altered by electronegative substituents and by hybridization changes of participating carbon atoms. The ³J values observed with cycloalkylfluorides are interpreted on the basis of model geometries for the corresponding hydrocarbons. The influence of solvent and temperature changes is restricted to one bond couplings. ¹⁹F shifts in cyclohexane derivatives are constantly at higher field for axial fluorine (by ~20 ppm), but otherwise there is no significant relation to the orientation of neighbouring bonds, nor to ¹³C shifts of the Cα-F carbon atoms or to the corresponding one bond couplings.     

19F nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of some trisubstituted metal trifluorophosphine complexes. Examples of [AX3]3 nuclear spin systems

The ¹⁹F NMR spectra of π-allyl-tris(trifluorophosphine)rhodium(I), [A], benzene-tris(trifluorophosphine)chromium(0), [B], and nitrosyl-tris(trifluorophosphine) rhodium(-I), [C], are presented. These are examples of [AX₃]₃ nuclear spin systems (A = phosphorus, X = fluorine). The spectra of [A] and [B] have been completely analysed to afford values of ¹J(PF), ²J(PP′), ³J(PF′) and ⁴J(FF′).     

195Pt, 119Sn and 31P NMR studies of alkyl,aryl and acyl trichlorostannate complexes of platinum(II). The crystal structure of trans-[Pt(SnCl3)(COC6H5)(PEt3)2]

¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹¹⁹Sn and ³¹P NMR characteristics of the complexes trans-[Pt(SnCl₃)(carbon ligand)(PEt₃)₂] (1a-1e) are reported, (carbon ligand = CH₃ (1a), CH₂Ph (1b), COPh (1c), C₆Cl₅ (1d), C₆Cl₄Y (e); Y = meta- and para-NO₂, CF₃, Br, H, CH₃, OCH₃, or Pt(SnCl₃)(PEt₃)₂. The values of ¹J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹¹⁹Sn) vary from 2376 to 11895 Hz with the COPh ligand having the smallest and the C₆Cl₅ ligand the largest value, making a total range for this coupling constant, when the dimer syn-trans-[PtCl(SnCl₃)(PEt₃)]₂ is included, of ca. 33000 Hz. In the meta- and para-substituted phenyl complexes ¹J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹¹⁹Sn) (a) is greater for electron-withdrawing substituents, (b) varies more for the meta-substituted derivatives (5634 to 7906 Hz) than for the para analogues (6088 to 7644 Hz) and (c) has the lowest values when the Pt(SnCl₃)(PEt₃)₂ group is the meta- or para-substituent. The direction of the change in ¹J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹¹⁹Sn) is opposite to that found for ¹J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹¹⁹P). For the aryl complexes linear correlations are observed between δ(¹¹⁹Sn), ¹J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹¹⁹Sn), ¹J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ³¹P), ¹J(¹¹⁹Sn, ³¹P) and the Hammett substituent constant σⁿ. δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and ¹J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹¹⁹Sn) are related linearly to v(Pt-H) in the complexes trans-[PtH(C₆H₄Y)(PEt₃)₂]; δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and δ(¹H) (hydride) are also linearly related. Based on ¹J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹¹⁹Sn), the acyl ligand is suggested to have a very large NMR trans influence. The differences in the NMR parameters for (1a-e) are rationalized in terms of differing σ- and π-bonding abilities of the carbon ligands.The structure of 1c has been determined by crystallographic methods. The complex has a slightly distorted square planar geometry with trans-PEt₃ ligands. Relevant bond lengths (Å) and bond angles (°) are: PtSn, 2.634(1), PtP, 2.324(4) and 2.329(4), PtC, 2.05(1); PPtP, 170.7(6), SnPtC, 173.0(3), SnPtP, 92.1(1), 91.7(1), PPtC, 88.8(4) and 88.3(4). The PtSn bond separation is the longest yet observed for square-planar platinum trichlorostannate complexes, and would be consistent with a large crystallographic trans influence of the benzoyl ligand. The PtSn bond separation is shown to correlate with ¹J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹¹⁹Sn).     

NMR spectral analysis of strongly second-order 6-, 8-, 9- and 10- spin-systems (1H─19F, 19F─19F,and 13C─19F) in perfluorotoluyl- and tetrafluoro-pyridyl-aromatics using the lineshape method ANATOLIA

A simple to use nuclear magnetic resonance analysis method has been tested on complex ¹H, ¹⁹F, and ¹³C multiplets. This open-source line-shape analysis method analysis of total lineshape (ANATOLIA)¹ provides some significant advantages over traditional assign-iterate methods of NMR spectral analysis by avoiding false minima and progressing optimisation to the global minimum. The target molecules are 1-perfluorotol-4-yl-2-perfluorotol-4-yl-oxymethyl-1H-benzimidazole (molecule-I) and 1-tetrafluoropyrid-4-yl-2-tetrafluoropyrid-4-yl-thio-1H-benzimidazole (molecule-II) which were produced as part of a family of fluorinated drug scaffolds prepared for anticancer and antiparasitic screening. Spectra display significant second-order effects with ¹H Δδ = 3.68 and 4.67 Hz for the aromatic hydrogen “triplets”, with ¹⁹F ⁴J_AA', ⁴J_BB', ⁴J_XX', and ⁴J_YY' coupling constants range from +4.8 to −14.0 Hz and for ¹³C-isotopomers ¹⁹F Δδ of up to 111.56 Hz. A spin-system of six coupling nuclei (H_aH_bH_cH_d F_YF_Y') was analysed in 12 s, a spin-system of nine coupling fluorine nuclei (AA'BB'CCC-YY') was analysed within 2 min, and 10 coupling nuclei (XX'YY'ZZZ-BB'-H_d) was optimised in 6 min using a laptop computer. ANATOLIA was also robust enough to be able to yield accurate spectral values from inaccurate input values. In both compounds, a fluorine–fluorine coupling constant was identified between the two fluoro-aromatic rings (F_BB' and F_YY') of +4.05 and +4.67 Hz and attributed to a through-space interaction. Ab initio structure optimisations and coupling constant calculations provided useful input data for spectral analysis. A modern ¹⁹F nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of perfluorotoluene (octafluorotoluene) and analysis from 1975 was used as a test data set to assess ANATOLIA.     

Signs of proximate 31P, 19F and 19F, 19F spin–spin coupling constants in 2-trifluoromethylphenyldifluorophosphine

In 2-trifluoromethylphenyldifluorophosphine the proximate couplings ⁴J(¹⁹F³¹P) and ⁵J(¹⁹F¹⁹F) are + 68.3 and + 8.3 Hz, respectively. ¹J(¹³C³¹P) is ?57.0 Hz, ²J(¹³C-1, ¹⁰F) is + 9.9 Hz and ²J(¹³C-6, ¹³C-6, ³¹P) is + 10.1 Hz. The trifluoromethyl substituent induces substantial changes in some coupling constants, particularly those between the ³¹P and ring ¹³C nuclei.     

19F Chemical shift tensor in fluorobenzene compounds

Fluorine-19 NMR multiple-pulse experiments have been applied to a series of meta-, para- and ortho-substituted fluorobenzene compounds in the solid state. The principal elements of the ¹⁹F chemical shift tensor (σ₁₁, σ₂₂, σ< ₃₃) were determined and the orientation of the tensor axes was inferrred from secondary information like molecular motion, related compounds and liquid crystal studies. Comparison with anisotropies obtained from molecules dissolved in liquid crystals in the nematic phase is discussed where data are available. Using the Gicrke-Flygarc approach we were able to exctract the spin-rotation interaction tensor elements C_??, C_tcy;tcy; and C_zz of ¹⁹F in sever; fluorobenzene compounds.     

Synthesis,Raman and NMR spectroscopy of the trimetallic complexes [IrCl(SnCl3)(HgCl)(CO)(PR3)2]

Synthesis, Raman and NMR studies are presented for the new octahedral trimetallic complexes with composition [IrCl(SnCl₃)(HgCl)(CO)(PR₃)₂], R = p-XC₆H₄; X = H, CH₃O, F, Cl. Only the isomer containing the Cl₃SnIrHgCl fragment and trans phosphine ligands is observed. Force constants for the IrSn and IrHg bonds as well as ³¹P, ¹¹⁹Sn and ¹⁹⁹Hg NMR data are reported. The presence of a spin-spin coupling constant of more than 40,000 Hz between the ¹⁹⁹Hg and ¹¹⁹Sn atoms is shown to originate from a two-bond and not a one-bond interaction.     

19F NMR chemical shifts of n-F-alkyl compounds

The examination of ¹⁹F chemical shifts for ca. 650 F-alkylated compounds of general formula CF₃(CF₂)_nCF₂X led to the following conclusions: the CF₂ groups α to X are very sensitive to the nature of X, and are spread over a range of 85 ppm. The effect of the length of the F-alkyl chain decreases rapidly, so that δCF₂(α) can already be considered as characteristic of X for n = 1 or 2 for most practical purposes. Solvent effects (in 9 different solvents having ε = 1.8 to 52.1) were found to be rather small except for the F-alkyl iodides. A chart which indicates the domain in which the CF₂(α) resonance signal is to be expected is given for 42 different series of F-alkylated compounds; it is expected to provide the synthetic chemist with a useful tool for the identification and characterization of such compounds.     

Deuterium-isotopieeffekte auf die 13C-chemischen verschiebungen und kohlenstoff-deuterium kopplungskonstanten in deuterierten verbindungen

The isotope effects on the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts and coupling constants (¹³C¹H and ¹³C¹H) have been determined by pulse Fourier transform ¹³C NMR investigation at 22·63 MHz for more than 30 common deuterated and protonated solvents. The observed isotope effects correlate with hybridization and electron withdrawal at the coupling carbon within the series of comparable compounds. In agreement with MO-theoretical calculations a linear correlation between the J_CD values of CD_x groups and the J_CH values of the corresponding CH_x groups was found. The experimentally determined J_CD values show an average deviation from the calculated line J_CD = (γ_D/γ_H)J_CH = 0·154 ×J_CH on the order of± 1 Hz.     

13C and 19F NMR substituent chemical shifts (SCS) of some bridgehead-substituted phenyl- and fluorophenylbicyclo [2.2.2] octyltricarbonylchromium(O) derivatives: nature of aryl 19F NMR polar field effects in the Cr(CO)3-complexed benzene ring system

A number of Cr(CO)₃ complexes of bridgehead-substituted phenylbicyclo[2.2.2]octanes and (m- and p-)fluoropheylbicyclo[2.2.2]octanes have been synthesized and their ¹³C and ¹⁹F NMR spectra have been recorded, respectively. The substituent chemical shifts (SCS) of these stereochemically well-defined model systems permit an unambiguous evaluation of polar factors governing ¹³C and ¹⁹F SCS in arene-Cr(CO)₃ complexes. The dual nature of ¹⁹F NMR polar field effects is reaffirmed and the coefficient (A) of the Buckingham equation for linear electric field effects on C(sp²)F bonds in fluoroarene-Cr(CO)₃ complexes has been calculated. A re-examination and re-interpretation of the ¹⁹F chemical shifts of m- and p-substituted fluorophenyltricarbonylchromium derivatives is also reported. New substituent parameters (σ_I and σ^o_R) for C₆H₅ · Cr(CO)₃ as a substituent in the neutral ground state arepresented.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance study of 19F motion in CsPbF3

The ¹⁹F nuclear magnetic relaxation times and line-widths have been measured in polycrystalline CsPbF₃ in the temperature range from ?150 to +300°C. The observed motional narrowing of the NMR line-width at low temperatures and the temperature dependences of the relaxation times are analysed in terms of a high vacancy diffusion of the F^? ions. A phase transition is found at ?93°C from measurements of the NMR line shapes.     

19F chemical shifts and mutual influence of ligands

By comparing the positions of ¹⁹F shifts in pentafluoro complexes of d^o transition metals and non-transition elements in higher oxidation state complexes MF₅L and EF₅L with the positions of corresponding MF₆ and EF₆, the spectra of all the pentafluoro complexes can be divided into a few types which depend on the nature of L. Correlation of chemical shifts with structural data and force constants implies that the change in the bond strength of the fluorine and the central ion has opposite effects in the ¹⁹F NMR spectra of the complexes of transition and non-transition elements.     

Rotational isomerism. A gas-phase 1H nuclear magnetic resonance study of 1-bromo-2-chloroethane

The average vicinal coupling constants of 1-bromo-2-chloroethane at different temperatures have been obtained in a gas-phase ¹H NMR study of 1,2-disubstituted ethanes. Analysis of the experimental data, assuming a ”static” model with constant values for the vicinal coupling constants of the individual rotamers, yielded unacceptable results. A ”dynamic” model, which takes into account the torsional vibrations, has therefore been developed and used to analyse the gas-phase results. The values at 305 K for the vicinal coupling constants of the individual rotamers are: trans rotamer J_T = 13.6 Hz, J'_t = 4.9 Hz; gauche rotamer $\text{1}\text{2}$(J_G1 + J_G2) = 0.9 Hz, $\text{1}\text{2}$(J'_G1 + J'_G2) = 7.8 Hz. These couplings are temperature-dependent with J_T changing about four times as much as the other coupling constants. Analysis of the average vicinal coupling constants, measured in different solvents, with the “dynamic” model gave values for the vicinal coupling constants of the individual rotamers in excellent agreement with those from the gas-phase data. The value of $\text{1}\text{2}$(J_G1+ J_G2) decreases noticeably with increasing dielectric constant of the solution. This can be explained by changes in the average dihedral angle between the coupling protons, in the gauche rotamers, which leads to changes of J_G1 and J_G2 in the same direction.     

Reaction of PF5·CH3CN with sulfide

Nitriles react with PF₅ and also with AsF₅, SbF₅ forming 1:1-adducts. Using C₂Cl₃F₃ as a solvent is of advantage for this reaction. PF₅·CH₃CN and [N(C₂H₅)₄]SH give [N(C₂H₅)₄][P₂S₂F₈] with a sulfur double bridge and hexafluorophosphate in acetonitrile [1]. In case of AsF₅·CH₃CN a salt with the anion [AsF₅NHCSCH₃]^? has been isolated [2]. Following products have been confirmed in a reaction mixture of PF₅·CH₃CN and SH^? in acetonitrile by NMR (³¹P and ¹⁹F): [PF₆]^?, [F₅PSPF₅]^2?,

, F₄PSH, F₃PS, HPS₂F₂, [PS₂F₂]^?, [F₅PNC(SH)CH₃]^?, [F₅PNHCSCH₃]^?, [F₅PSH]^?. With a ratio PF₅·CH₃CN: SH^? = 2:1 the S-bridge-complexes are prefered whereas in case of a ratio 1:1 the non-bridged P-complexes are the main products.     

Equilibrium constants of HF,F-, HF-2 and H2F2 species in formic acid.

Equilibrium constants for the fluorinated species HF, F^-, HF^-₂ and H₂F₂ in formic acid and in a 1M potassium formate solution in formic acid have been studied by ¹⁹F NMR. The chemical shifts of these species have been determined from measurements of the shifts for various initial mixtures of differing concentrations of dissolved HF, F^- and HF^-₂. From these values, relative concentrations of HF, F^-, and HF^-₂ and H₂F₂ in each solution have been calculated through a numerical method. The following constants were obtained: K₁ = [H⁺][F^-]/[HF] = 1.1 x 10^-5M; K_D = [HF][F^-]/[HF^-₂] = 0.5 M; K′₁ = [H⁺][HF^-₂]/[H₂F₂]= 1.1 x 10^-5 M; K′_D = [HF]²/[H₂F₂]=0.5 M.
