Fourier 13C NMR and PMR including 13C satellites of oriented cyanopropyne

Fourier ¹³C and proton NMR spectra of cyanopropyne partially oriented by a nematic phase have been recorded and interpreted. It is shown that more accurate measurements are obtained much more rapidly by observing ¹³C satellites by Fourier PMR than by direct observation of the ¹³C spectrum. The geometry has been extracted from direct couplings; a small but systematic discrepancy with microwave spectroscopy is observed for the carboncarbon bond lengths.

13C NMR spectra of some coumarins of Haplophyllum obtusifolium

Coumaris ofHaplophyllum obtusifolium Ledeb. — obtusinin, capensin, and fraxetin 7-O--D-glucopyranoside — have been investigated by¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Several distinctive features of their NMR spectra have been observed.

The influence of methylation on 13C chemical shifts of galactose derivatives

A comparison of the galactose and galactitol spectra with those of methylated derivatives provides the signal assignment of this hexose and its polyol. A formerly stated rule can be confirmed: Methylation of hexopyranose hydroxyls causes upfield shifts of about 4·5 ppm on β-carbons with axial OH groups. In the series of polyols O-methylation causes down-field shifts on the resonance of C_α of about 9–10 ppm, downfield shifts on that of C_β for about 0·6 to 0·9 ppm and upfield shifts of about 0·3 to 0·5 ppm on the C_γ-resonance.

13C NMR of some insect attractants and related compounds

Ten insect attractants, a number of intermediates in their synthesis and some related compounds were characterized by their 13C NMR spectra. The chemical shifts of the allylic carbon atoms allowed neat distinction between E and Z isomers of alkenic compounds.

¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR spectra of the allylchlorosilanes (CH₂CH-CH₂-)_xSiCl_4?x and of triallylbromosilane have been analysed. Results are discussed in terms of inductive and steric effects and of contributions of diamagnetic anisotropy. There is no conclusive evidence for (p-d)π conjugation.     

13C NMR spectrum of coumarin

Summary The positions of the signals from the C₃, C₅, C₆, and C₇ carbon atoms in the¹³C NMR spectrum of coumarin have been established with the aid of information obtained from the¹³C NMR spectra of [3-D]-, [4-D]-, and 7-methoxycoumarins and by the use of an additive calculation based on the increments of the methoxy group in the¹³C NMR spectrum of anisole.M.

Microwave spectra of tetrahydroselenophene-α13C, -β13C and molecular ring structure

Microwave spectra of isotopic species α-¹³C and β-¹³C of tetrahydroselenophene molecules have been investigated and rotational constants determined: A = 5608.98 Mc, B = 2819.532 Mc, C = 2022.624 Mc forα-¹³C isotopic species and A = 5695.94 Mc, B = 2770.714 Mc, C = 2009.166 Mc for β-¹³C isotopic species.

The ¹³C NMR spectra of some methylplatinum(IV) Schiff-base and related complexes have been recorded. The results are interpreted in terms of the differing effects of various donor atoms on a platinumcarbon bond in the trans position.     

13C nmr and conformational analysis of some 1,4-dithiepane spiranes

The ¹³C NMR spectra of four series of di- and tricyclic 1,4-dithiepane spiranes are presented. The cis-fused tricyclic derivatives 4a - 4d exhibit two coales-cences in their 100.6 MHz spectra. These are discussed and assigned to conformational processes, namely a conversion of the molecules into their mirror images and a restricted pseudorotation of the dithiepane ring, respectively.     

29Si and 13C NMR spectra of permethylpolysilanes

²⁹Si, ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra are reported for the series of linear permethylpolysilanes Me(SiMe₂)_nMe where n = 1 to 6, for the cyclic permethylpolysilanes (Me₂Si)_n where n = 5 to 8, and for a few related compounds. For linear polysilanes the ²⁹Si and ¹³C chemical shifts can be accurately calculated from simple additivity relationships based on the number of silicon atoms in α, β, γ and δ positions. Adjacent (α) silicon atoms lead to upfield shifts in the ²⁹Si and ¹³C resonances, whereas more remote silicon atoms lead to downfield shifts. The ²⁹Si chemical shifts of the polysilane chains are linearly related to the ¹³C shifts of the carbon atoms attached to the silicon. The ²⁹Si and ¹³C resonances of the cyclic silanes deviate from this relationship. Ring current effects arising from σ delocalization are suggested as an explanation for the deviations. Proton-coupled ²⁹Si NMR spectra are reported for Me₃SiSiMe₃ and for (Me₂Si)_n, n = 5 to 7.
