1H, 13C, 15N and 195Pt NMR studies of Au(III) and Pt(II) chloride organometallics with 2‐phenylpyridine

¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N and ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR studies of gold(III) and platinum(II) chloride organometallics with N(1),C(2′)‐chelated, deprotonated 2‐phenylpyridine (2ppy*) of the formulae [Au(2ppy*)Cl₂], trans(N,N)‐[Pt(2ppy*)(2ppy)Cl] and trans(S,N)‐[Pt(2ppy*)(DMSO‐d₆)Cl] (formed in situ upon dissolving [Pt(2ppy*)(µ‐Cl)]₂ in DMSO‐d₆) were performed. All signals were unambiguously assigned by HMBC/HSQC methods and the respective ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N coordination shifts (i.e. differences between chemical shifts of the same atom in the complex and ligand molecules: Δ^1H_coord = δ^1H_complex ? δ^1H_ligand, Δ^13C_coord = δ^13C_complex ? δ^13C_ligand, Δ^15N_coord = δ^15N_complex ? δ^15N_ligand), as well as ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shifts and ¹H‐¹⁹⁵Pt coupling constants discussed in relation to the known molecular structures. Characteristic deshielding of nitrogen‐adjacent H(6) protons and metallated C(2′) atoms as well as significant shielding of coordinated N(1) nitrogens is discussed in respect to a large set of literature NMR data available for related cyclometallated compounds.

Configurational assignment in alkyl‐branched sugars via the geminal C,H coupling constants

The measurement of the magnitude and sign of ²J(C,H) couplings offers a reliable way to determine the absolute configuration at a carbon center in a fixed cyclic system. A decrease of the dihedral angle ? in the O—C_A—C_B—H fragment always leads to a change of the ²J(C_A,H_B) coupling to more negative values, independent of the type and position of substituents at the two carbon centers. The orientations of the two substituents at C‐3 of the epimeric pair 1 and 2 were determined unambiguously through the measurement of the geminal coupling constants between C‐3 and the hydrogen atoms at C‐2 and C‐4. In particular, ²J(C‐3,H‐2ax) with ?1.5 Hz, ? = 174° in 1 and ?6.6 Hz, ? = 47° in 2 , and ²J(C‐3,H‐4) with +1.5 Hz, ? = 175° in 1 and ?4.7 Hz, ? = 49° in 2 showed the greatest differences between the two epimers. Both couplings therefore allow the determination of the absolute configuration at C‐3. It should be noted, however, that the size of the coupling constants can be different for dihedral angles of nearly identical size, when there are different numbers of electronegative substituents on the two coupling pathways, i.e. no O‐substituent at C‐2, but one axial O‐substituent at C‐4. It becomes clear that it is not sufficient to measure the magnitude of ²J coupling constants only, but that the sign of the geminal coupling is needed to identify the absolute configuration at a chiral center. The coupling of C‐3 with H‐2eq is not useful for the determination of the configuration at C‐3, as the similarity of the dihedral angles ? (O—C‐3—C‐2—H‐2eq) (57° in 1 and 70° in 2 ) leads to identical coupling constants (?6.1 Hz) for both epimers. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stereospecificity of 1H, 13C and 15N shielding constants in the isomers of methylglyoxal bisdimethylhydrazone: problem with configurational assignment based on 1H chemical shifts

In the ¹³C NMR spectra of methylglyoxal bisdimethylhydrazone, the ¹³C‐5 signal is shifted to higher frequencies, while the ¹³C‐6 signal is shifted to lower frequencies on going from the EE to ZE isomer following the trend found previously. Surprisingly, the ¹H‐6 chemical shift and ¹J(C‐6,H‐6) coupling constant are noticeably larger in the ZE isomer than in the EE isomer, although the configuration around the –CH═N– bond does not change. This paradox can be rationalized by the C–H?N intramolecular hydrogen bond in the ZE isomer, which is found from the quantum‐chemical calculations including Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules analysis. This hydrogen bond results in the increase of δ(¹H‐6) and ¹J(C‐6,H‐6) parameters. The effect of the C–H?N hydrogen bond on the ¹H shielding and one‐bond ¹³C–¹H coupling complicates the configurational assignment of the considered compound because of these spectral parameters. The ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N chemical shifts of the 2‐ and 8‐(CH₃)₂N groups attached to the –C(CH₃)═N– and –CH═N– moieties, respectively, reveal pronounced difference. The ab initio calculations show that the 8‐(CH₃)₂N group conjugate effectively with the π‐framework, and the 2‐(CH₃)₂N group twisted out from the plane of the backbone and loses conjugation. As a result, the degree of charge transfer from the N‐2– and N‐8– nitrogen lone pairs to the π‐framework varies, which affects the ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N shieldings.

Small carbon‐carbon couplings in monosubstituted benzenes – their signs and magnitudes determined by HCSE method

Signed values of all intra‐ring ^2,3,4J(C,C) couplings in nine monosubstituted benzenes (C₆H₅‐X where X = F, Cl, Br, CH₃, OCH₃, Si(CH₃)₃, C ≡ N, NO, NO₂) are experimentally determined as well as nine couplings to substituent carbons. It is confirmed that while all the vicinal intra‐ring ³J(C,C) are positive and all geminal ²J(C2,C4) are negative, both signs are found for geminal ²J(C1,C3) couplings. All the determined signs agree with those already predicted by theoretical calculations. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1H and 13C NMR spectral characterization of some antimalarial in vitro 2,4‐diamino‐10‐methylpyrimido[4,5‐b]‐5‐quinolone derivatives

We report the ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts and J(H,H), J(H,F) and J(C,F) coupling constants of 13 2,4‐diamino‐10‐methylpyrimido[4,5‐b]‐5‐quinolone derivatives, some of them with moderate activity against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. They were characterized and assigned on the basis of ¹H, ¹³C and ¹³C–¹H (short‐ and long‐range) correlated spectra. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Assignment of the E,Z configurational isomers of platinum complexes of N,N‐dialkyl‐N′‐acyl(aroyl)thioureas by means of triple resonance 1H/13C/195Pt PFG correlation NMR spectroscopy

Unsymmetrical, dialkyl‐substituted N,N‐dialkyl‐N^′‐acyl(aroyl)thioureas show E,Z configurational isomerism at room temperature in solution, which is also expressed in the existence of cis‐[Pt(ZZ‐L‐S,O)₂], cis‐[Pt(EZ‐L‐S,O)₂] and cis‐[Pt(EE‐L‐S,O)₂] complexes derived from these ligands. These configurational isomers were assigned by means of a double magnetization transfer ¹H/¹³C/¹⁹⁵Pt correlation NMR experiment, despite the fact that the long‐range ⁵J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹H) and ⁴J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹³C) scalar couplings are not directly observable in their ¹H and ¹³C spectra at high field. Depending on the ligand structure, the relative amounts of cis‐[Pt(ZZ‐L‐S,O)₂], cis‐[Pt(EZ‐L‐S,O)₂] and cis‐[Pt(EE‐L‐S,O)₂] complexes are in the ranges 40–42% ZZ, 46–47% ZE and 12–13% EE. The cis‐bis[N‐methyl‐N‐(tert‐butyl)‐N^′‐(2,2‐dimethylpropanoyl)thioureato]platinum(II) complex is found to occur exclusively as the ZZ isomer. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Experimental and theoretical study of the intramolecular C–H···N and C–H···S hydrogen bonding effects in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the 2‐(alkylsulfanyl)‐5‐amino‐1‐vinylpyrroles: a particular state of amine nitrogen

In the ¹H NMR spectra of the 1‐vinylpyrroles with amino‐ and alkylsulfanyl groups in 5 and 2 positions, an extraordinarily large difference between resonance positions of the H_A and H_B terminal methylene protons of the vinyl group is discovered. Also, the one‐bond ¹J(C_β,H_B) coupling constant is surprisingly greater than the ¹J(C_β,H_A) coupling constant in pyrroles under investigation, while in all known cases, there was a reverse relationship between these coupling constants. These spectral anomalies are substantiated by quantum chemical calculations. The calculations show that the amine nitrogen lone pair is removed from the conjugation with the π‐system of the pyrrole ring so that it is directed toward the H_B hydrogen. These factors are favorable to the emergence of the intramolecular C–H_B???N hydrogen bonding in the s‐cis(N) conformation. On the other hand, the spatial proximity of the sulfur to the H_B hydrogen provides an opportunity of the intramolecular C–H_B???S hydrogen bonding in the s‐cis(S) conformation. Presence of the hydrogen bond critical points as well as ring critical point for corresponding chelate ring revealed by a quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) approach confirms the existence of the weak intramolecular C–H???N and C–H???S hydrogen bonding. Therefore, an unusual high‐frequency shift of the H_B signal and the increase in the ¹J(C_β,H_B) coupling constant can be explained by the effects of hydrogen bonding.

Comparison of the substituent effects on the 13C NMR with the 1H NMR chemical shifts of CHN in substituted benzylideneanilines

Fifty‐two samples of substituted benzylideneanilines XPhCH?NPhYs (XBAYs) were synthesized, and their NMR spectra were determined in this paper. Together with the NMR data of other 77 samples of XBAYs quoted from literatures, the ¹H NMR chemical shifts (δ_H(CH?N)) and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts (δ_C(CH?N)) of the CH?N bridging group were investigated for total of 129 samples of XBAYs. The result shows that the δ_H(CH?N) and δ_C(CH?N) have no distinctive linear relationship, which is contrary to the theoretical thought that declared the δ_H(CH?N) values would increase as the δ_C(CH?N) values increase. With the in‐depth analysis, we found that the effects of σ_F and σ_R of X/Y group on the δ_H(CH?N) and the δ_C(CH?N) are opposite; the effects of the substituent specific cross‐interaction effect between X and Y (Δσ²) on the δ_H(CH?N) and the δ_C(CH?N) are different; the contributions of parameters in the regression equations of the δ_H(CH?N) and the δ_C(CH?N) [Eqns 4 and 7), respectively] also have an obvious difference.

Derivatives of pyrazinecarboxylic acid: 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopic investigations

NMR spectroscopic studies are undertaken with derivatives of 2‐pyrazinecarboxylic acid. Complete and unambiguous assignment of chemical shifts (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N) and coupling constants (¹H,¹H; ¹³C,¹H; ¹⁵N,¹H) is achieved by combined application of various 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques. Unequivocal mapping of ¹³C,¹H spin coupling constants is accomplished by 2D (δ,J) long‐range INEPT spectra with selective excitation. Phenomena such as the tautomerism of 3‐hydroxy‐2‐pyrazinecarboxylic acid are discussed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectral assignments for new triazapentalene derivatives

Mesomeric heteropentalene betaines are conjugated fused polyheterocyclic structures that represent interesting intermediates for organic synthesis. Five such structures, containing at least four nitrogen atoms and various substituents, have been characterized by ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR. We report, apparently for the first time, nitrogen NMR data and coupling information on such systems. Inter‐ring long‐range correlations across five bonds with ¹⁵N (⁵J_HN) and up to seven bonds with ¹³C (⁶J_HC and ⁷J_HC) were observed in HSQC experiments. The incorporation of an electron‐withdrawing substituent such as NO₂ was observed to cause an increase in the magnitude of the remote couplings and deshielding of nearby protons, carbons and on all nitrogen atoms of the structure, including remote ones situated on other cycles.

Some self-consistent perturbation calculations of 15N?13C coupling constants

Self-consistent perturbation calculations within the INDO framework are reported for 63 ¹⁵N? ¹³C coupling constants. Examples are presented for which each of the contact, orbital and dipolar terms provides the dominant contribution to the observed coupling constant. In general, good agreement with the experimental data is obtained when the integral products S_N²(O)S_C²(O) and 〈r^?3〉_N〈r^?3〉_C take the values 14.480 au^?6 and 2.446 au^?6 for ¹J(¹⁵N? ¹³C), and the corresponding values of 10.444 au^?6 and 17.664 au^?6 for ¹J(¹⁵N?¹³C). All 19 of the ¹J(¹⁵N?¹³C) couplings considered are predicted to have a negative sign.     

Assignment of chemical shifts in benzohydroxamic acid and structure of its silylated derivatives by 15N enrichment

¹⁵N isotopic enrichment was necessary for the unequivocal assignment of the ¹H NMR lines to the protons in the NH–OH fragment of benzohydroxamic acid, BHXA, C₆H₅CONHOH, in dry dimethyl sulfoxide solutions. The assignment [δ(NH) = 11.21, δ(OH) = 9.01, ¹J(¹⁵N,¹H) = 102.2 Hz, ²J(¹⁵N,¹H) <1.5 Hz], which is opposite to that used by other authors, confirms the assignment extended to BHXA by Brown and co‐workers from the spectra of acetohydroxamic acid. The enrichment allowed also assignment of the ²⁹Si lines in the spectra of disilylated benzohydroxamic acid, (Z)‐tert‐butyldimethylsilyl N‐tert‐butyldimethylsilyloxybenzoimidate (2) and (Z)‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyl N‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyloxybenzoimidate (3), and confirmed structure of the monosilylated products, N‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyloxybenzamide (4) and N‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyloxy benzoimidic acid (5).

One‐step synthesis of 6‐acetamido‐3‐(N‐(2‐(dimethylamino) ethyl) sulfamoyl) naphthalene‐1‐yl 7‐acetamido‐4‐hydroxynaphthalene‐2‐sulfonate and its characterization with 1D and 2D NMR techniques

A one‐step method was reported for the synthesis of 6‐acetamido‐3‐(N‐(2‐(dimethylamino) ethyl) sulfamoyl) naphthalene‐1‐yl 7‐acetamido‐4‐hydroxynaphthalene‐2‐sulfonate by treating 7‐acetamido‐4‐hydroxy‐2‐naphthalenesulfonyl chloride with equal moles of N, N‐dimethylethylenediamine in acetonitrile in the presence of K₂CO₃. The chemical structure of the obtained compounds was characterized by MS, FTIR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, gCOSY, TOCSY, gHSQC, and gHMBC. The chemical shift differences of ¹H and ¹³C being δ 0.04 and 0.2, respectively, were unambiguously differentiated. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

3‐Rhoda‐1,2‐diazacyclopentanes: A Series of Novel Metallacycle Complexes Derived From CN Functionalization of Ethylene

Rh‐containing metallacycles, [(TPA)Rh^III(κ²‐(C,N)‐CH₂CH₂(NR)₂‐]Cl; TPA=N,N,N,N‐tris(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine have been accessed through treatment of the Rh^I ethylene complex, [(TPA)Rh(η²‐CH₂CH₂)]Cl ([ 1 ]Cl) with substituted diazenes. We show this methodology to be tolerant of electron‐deficient azo compounds including azo diesters (RCO₂N?NCO₂R; R=Et [ 3 ]Cl, R=iPr [ 4 ]Cl, R=tBu [ 5 ]Cl, and R=Bn [ 6 ]Cl) and a cyclic azo diamide: 4‐phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3,5‐dione (PTAD), [ 7 ]Cl. The latter complex features two ortho‐fused ring systems and constitutes the first 3‐rhoda‐1,2‐diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane. Preliminary evidence suggests that these complexes result from N–N coordination followed by insertion of ethylene into a [Rh]?N bond. In terms of reactivity, [ 3 ]Cl and [ 4 ]Cl successfully undergo ring‐opening using p‐toluenesulfonic acid, affording the Rh chlorides, [(TPA)Rh^III(Cl)(κ¹‐(C)‐CH₂CH₂(NCO₂R)(NHCO₂R)]OTs; [ 13 ]OTs and [ 14 ]OTs. Deprotection of [ 5 ]Cl using trifluoroacetic acid was also found to give an ethyl substituted, end‐on coordinated diazene [(TPA)Rh^III(κ²‐(C,N)‐CH₂CH₂(NH)₂‐]⁺ [ 16 ]Cl, a hitherto unreported motif. Treatment of [ 16 ]Cl with acetyl chloride resulted in the bisacetylated adduct [(TPA)Rh^III(κ²‐(C,N)‐CH₂CH₂(NAc)₂‐]⁺, [ 17 ]Cl. Treatment of [ 1 ]Cl with AcN?NAc did not give the Rh?N insertion product, but instead the N,O‐chelated complex [(TPA)Rh^I ( κ²‐(O,N)‐CH₃(CO)(NH)(N?C(CH₃)(OCH?CH₂))]Cl [ 23 ]Cl, presumably through insertion of ethylene into a [Rh]?O bond.     

Synthesis of rhodium(III) complexes with tris/tetrakis‐benzimidazoles and benzothiazoles—quick identification of cyclometallation by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Reactions of rhodium(III) halides with multidentate N,S‐heterocycles, (LH₃) 1,3,5‐tris(benzimidazolyl)benzene (L¹H₃; 1 ), 1,3,5‐tris(N‐methylbenzimidazolyl) benzene (L²H₃; 2 ) and 1,3,5‐tris(benzothiazolyl)benzene (L³H₃; 3 ), in the molar ratio 1:1 in methanol–chloroform produced mononuclear cyclometallated products of the composition [RhX₂(LH₂)(H₂O)] (X = Cl, Br, I; LH₂ = L¹H₂, L²H₂, L³H₂). When the metal to ligand ( 1–3 or 1,2,4,5‐tetrakis(benzothiazolyl)benzene [L⁴H₂; 4 ]) molar ratio was 2:1, the reactions yielded binuclear complexes of the compositions [Rh₂Cl₅(LH₂)(H₂O)₃] (LH₂ = L¹H₂, L²H₂, L³H₂) and [Rh₂X₄(L⁴)(H₂O)₂] (X = Cl, Br, I). Elemental analysis, IR and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts supported the binuclear nature of the complexes. Cyclometallation was detected by conventional ¹³C NMR spectra that showed a doublet around ～190 ppm. Cyclometallation was also detected by gradient‐enhanced heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (g‐HMBC) experiment that showed cross‐peaks between the cyclometallated carbon and the central benzene ring protons of 1–3 . Cyclometallation was substantiated by two‐dimensional ¹H? ¹H correlated experiments (gradiant‐correlation spectroscopy and rotating frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy) and ¹H? ¹³C single bond correlated two‐dimensional NMR experiments (gradient‐enhanced heteronuclear single quantum coherence). The ¹H? ¹⁵N g‐HMBC experiment suggested the coordination of the heterocycles to the metal ion via tertiary nitrogen. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

13C NMR: Substituent effects on one-bond 15N?13C coupling constants in anilines and anilinium ions

¹J(¹⁵N¹³C) values obtained from FT ¹³C NMR spectra were measured for a number of ¹⁵N-enriched aniline derivatives and are found to exhibit varying degrees of dependence on the nature of the ring substituent. Theoretical calculations of ¹J(¹⁵N¹³C) values for representative members of the systems examined were made using INDO parameters and a ‘sum-over-states’ perturbation approach. The calculated coupling constants are generally in fair agreement with experimental values when the integral products S_N²(o)S_C²(o) and (r^?3)_N(r^?3)_C have values of 34.437 au^?6 and 2.770 au^?6, respectively.     

Synthetic,spectral, thermal and antimicrobial studies on some bis(N,N′‐dialkyldithiocarbamato) antimony(III) alkylenedithiophosphates

Bis(N, N′‐dialkyldithiocarbamato)antimony(III) alkylenedithiophosphates of the type [R₂NCS₂]₂ SbS(S)POGO [where NR₂ = N(CH₃)₂, N(C₂H₅)₂ and N(CH₂)₄; G = ? CH₂? C(C₂H₅)₂? CH₂? , ? CH₂? C(CH₃)₂? CH₂? , ? CH(CH₃)? CH(CH₃)? and ? C(CH₃)₂? C(CH₃)₂? ] were synthesized and characterized by physico‐chemical, spectral [UV, IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P)] and thermal (TG, DTA and DSC) analysis. The TG decomposition analysis step of the complex indicated the formation of Sb₂S₃ as the final product. The first endothermic peak in DSC indicated the melting point of the complexes. These complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activities using the disk diffusion method. All the complexes showed good activity as antibacterial and antifungal agents on some selected bacterial and fungal strains, which increased on increasing the concentration. Chloroamphenicol and terbinafin were used as standards for comparison. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1H and 13C NMR study of α-acetylenic PIII and PIV derivatives. Signs and magnitudes of J(P?C) and J(P?H)

All J(P? H) and J(P? C) values, including signs, have been obtained in acetylenic and propynylic phosphorus derivatives, R₂P(X)? C?C? H and R₂P(X)? C?C? CH₃ (X ? oxygen, lone pair and R ? C₆H₅, N(CH₃)₂, OC₂H₅, N(C₆H₅)₂, Cl) from ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. In P^IV derivatives the following signs are obtained: ¹J(P? C)+, ²J(P? C)+, ³J(P? C)+, ³J(P? H)+, ⁴J(P? H)? . Linear relations are observed between ¹J(P? C), ²J(P? C) and ³J(P? C) versus ³J(P? H), indicating that these coupling constants are mainly dependent on the Fermi contact term, though the other terms of the Ramsey theory do not seem to be negligible for ¹J(P? C) and ²J(P? C). In P^III derivatives these signs are: ¹J(P? C)- and +, ²J(P? C)+, ³J(P? C)-, ³J(P? H)-, ⁴J(P? H)+. Only ³J(P? C) and ³J(P? H) reflect a small contribution of the Fermi contact term while in ¹J(P? C) and ²J(P? C) this contribution seems to be negligible relative to the orbital and/or spin dipolar coupling mechanisms.     

Indirect detection of 31P,X connectivities with proton sensitivity: application of two‐dimensional 31P‐relayed 1H,X correlation spectroscopy

Experiments for ¹H‐detected heteronuclear ¹H,X correlation spectroscopy with ³¹P‐relayed coherence transfer are described which allow the indirect detection of δX and ⁿJ(X,P) even in the absence of a direct J(X,H) coupling. The use of these techniques for the assignments of ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁸³W NMR data of organophosphorus compounds is demonstrated. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
