Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire de dérivés phosphores. Etude de dithiaphospholanes-1,3,2

The proton NMR spectral analysis of eight different 1,3,2-dithiaphospholanes with various groups attached to the phosphorus atom has been performed. The AA′BB′X (X phosphorus atom) system shows that the two ³J(P? S? C? H) coupling constants have a small magnitude and opposite signs. Using the ³J(HH) values, the torsion about the C₄—C₅ bond has been evaluated. The conformational requirements in the two isomers of the 2 phenyl-4-methyl-1,3,2-dithiaphospholane are also discussed.     

Stereochemical studies: XVII—the proton coupling constants and conformational equilibria of trans-1,2-disubstituted cyclohexenes

The vicinal ³J_aa and ³J_ee spin-spin coupling constants of a number of deuterated trans-1,2-disubstituted cyclohexenes and the ΔH and ΔS values of the conformational equilibria of these compounds have been determined by computer optimisation of the ³J(HH) = f(T) function. Compounds with —CF₃ and CCl₃ substituents were shown to have an enhanced proportion of the diaxial conformer.     

3J(HH)?Pμ,ν correlation for planar 7-membered cyclic π-systems—structural effects on 3J(HH)

It is shown that sterically unperturbed vicinal HH coupling constants in planar 7-membered π-systems correlate linearly with the HMO π-bond order: ³J(HH) = 20.91P_μ,_ν–3.85 (r.m.s. error 0.26 Hz, correlation coefficient =0.988). Systematic deviations from this relationship which most probably originate from valence angle changes are found for fused π-systems containing rings of different size. Model calculations using the CNDO/2 method as well as finite perturbation theory and INDO wave functions support the experimental findings. An improvement of existing ³J(HH)? P_μ,_ν correlations for planar 6-membered rings is possible if CNDO/2 π-bond orders are used instead of HMO or PPP-SCF data.     

Conformational studies on 2-fluoro-1,2-disubstituted ethanes by NMR spectroscopy. Influence of electronegativity on vicinal proton–proton and fluorine–proton coupling constants

The analysis of the ABKX spectra of thirteen compounds of the series RC(H-K)(F-X)C(H-A)(H-B)X gave the four vicinal proton-proton and fluorine-proton coupling constants. These coupling constants of conformationally mobile structures were used (i) to calculate the populations of the rotational states of the ? CHF? CH₂? bond, (ii) to calculate the vicinal trans proton-proton J(HH)^t and gauche and trans fluorine-proton coupling constants J(FH)^g and J(FH)^t and (iii) to give the unambiguous assignment of protons H-A and H-B. The dependence of the gauche and trans coupling constants with substituent electronegativity is explored. The results extend known correlations towards smaller electronegativity values. More quantitatively, the results and those in the literature, excluding those where deformations of torsional or bond angles occur, give a good fit of the data: a linear fit for J(HH)^t = 15.0-0.77 Σ(ΔE), an exponential fit for J(FH)^g = 15.35 exp [-0.266 Σ (ΔE)] and a linear fit for J(FH)^t = 65.75 - 7.52 Σ (ΔE), where Σ (ΔE) is the sum of the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and the six atoms or groups on the CH? CF fragment.     

Carbon-13 NMR of some organophosphorus compounds. 2—chemical shifts and P?C coupling constants of diaryl-, dialkoxy- and diaryloxy-phosphine amines with general formula Y2PNRR'

Carbon-13 chemical shifts and ²J(POC), ³J(POCC), ²J(PNC) and ³J(PNC) coupling constants of 30 compounds containing the amine moiety, with the general formula Y₂PNRR' (Y ? C₆H₅, CH₃O, CH₃CH₂O, CH₂O; Y₂ ? 1,2-dioxybenzene) have been determined. J(PNC) values have been used to explain the preferred conformation around the P? N bond. A comparison between ²J(PNC) and ²J(PNH) was accomplished.     

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.     

Interactions intramoléculaires—XIX: Constantes de couplage vicinales, équilibres conformationnels et interactions gauches (séries cyclohexanique et cyclohexénique)

NMR parameters are determined and identified for the four stereoisomers of 3,4-dimethyl methoxycarbonylcyclohexane (d₃-2,2,3,4,5,5), the two stereoisomers of 2-methyl methoxycarbonylcyclohexane (d₅-2,3,4,5,5) and 3-methyl 4-X cyclohexene (d₃-3,6,6) (X = COOCH₃, CH₂OH, CH₂Cl). For the axial COOCH₃ substituted cyclohexane, the vicinal coupling constants are in agreement with the ring deformation. Different conformational equilibria are estimated and discussed, especially in relation to the inequality of gauche interactions between two cis vicinal substituents.     

Interactions intramoléculaires: XXIII—Constantes de couplage et interactions gauches avec un groupement t-butyle (cyclohexanones disubstituées 3, 4)

The ¹H NMR spectra of a series of cis and trans-3R,4 X-cyclohexanones (-2,2,6,6-d₄) are analysed. By comparison of their ³J coupling constants with those of cyclohexane homologues we obtain information about the chair–chair equilibrium constants for R = CH₃, X = CN, the chair structure of cis isomers with an equatorial t-butyl group, and a conformational heterogeneity with trans (CH₃)₃C and CN groups. This latter situation is analysed by means of a simplified but controlled Karplus relationship, on the basis of a mixture of two conformers; this involves a diequatorial chair and a boat form with a dihedral angle Φ₃₄ of about ?6°.     

High resolution 13C NMR spectroscopy. IV—stereochemical assignments in butenedioic acids and 3-pentene-2-ones

Vicinal ¹³C, H coupling constants ³J(CO, H) for butenedioic acids and ³J(CH₃, H) for 3-pentene-2-ones have been determined and are correlated with the configuration of the corresponding C?C double bond. For both types the relationship ³J(CH) trans > ³J(CH)cis holds; in the case of the CH₃, H couplings, however, the ³J(CH₃, H) trans values are reduced because of steric reasons, so that configurational assignments seem possible only when both isomers are present. Additionally, the coupling constants ³J(COC H₃,H ) and the chemical shifts δ have been evaluated for the pentenones and it is shown that these parameters give information about the predominating conformation of α, β-unsaturated methyl ketones.     

D-HMBC versus LR-HSQMBC: Which experiment provides theoretically and experimentally the best results?

The long-range heteronuclear single quantum multiple bond correlation (LR-HSQMBC) experiment is the experiment of choice for visualizing heteronuclear long-range coupling interactions ⁿJ_CH across 4–6-bonds and is experimentally superior to the decoupled heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (D-HMBC) experiment. Yet, the exact reasons have not been fully understood and established. On the basis of our recent investigation of the nonrefocused variants LR-HSQC and HMBC, we have extended a J_HH′-dedicated investigation to the D-HMBC and LR-HSQMBC experiments. Unlike the nonrefocused variants, the influence of homonuclear couplings J_HH′ on the intensity of long-range ⁿJ_CH cross-peaks is not easily predictable and may be summarized as follows: (a) irrespective of the magnitude and number of J_HH′ interactions long-range ⁿJ_CH cross-peaks are more intense in D-HMBC spectra as long as the evolution delay Δ is not too large, because in contrast to LR-HSQMBC no J_HH′-caused intensity zeroes will occur. (b) If J_HH′ is small and Δ large, the intensity of cross peaks in D-HMBC spectra may be weakened or may even vanish at Δ = (0.25+0.5k)/J_HH′, whereas for the LR-HSQMBC this unwanted effect occurs at Δ = k + 0.5/J_HH′. Consequently, when Δ is adjusted to visualize weak ⁿJ_CH long-range correlations, our findings corroborate that there are potentially more cross-peaks expected to show up in a LR-HSQMBC spectrum compared with a D-HMBC spectrum. This has been indeed noticed experimentally, even though the intensity of a many long-range ⁿJ_CH cross-peaks may still be higher in the spectra of the D-HMBC experiment correspondingly adjusted for detecting weak ⁿJ_CH correlations.     

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.     

The 13C,H coupling constants in structural and conformational analysis: II The correlation of 3J(HCCH) and 3J(CH3CCH) in ethylenes and their methyl derivatives

The vicinal ³J(C H₃C?CH ) coupling constants were determined for a number of propylene derivatives and compared with the ³J(H C?CH ) couplings of the corresponding ethylenes. A linear regression analysis yielded the correlation ³J(CH) = 0.46 ׳ J(HH)+1.58 Hz, the correlation coefficient being 0.956.     

Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire du carbone 13 de complexes du cobalt (III) et de la diméthylglyoxime

From a carbon magnetic resonance study of several alkylcobaloximes RCo(DMG)₂B (DMG = dimethylglyoximate monoanion), it was possible to estimate the α, β and γ effects of the Co(DMG)₂B group on the chemical shifts of the carbon atoms of various alkyl groups R. The chemical shifts of the carbon atoms belonging to the equatorial ligands and to the axial base B are not significantly affected by structural modification of the R groups. Values of δ in benzylcobaloximes XC₆H₄CH₂Co(DMG)₂B agree with a donor effect of the ? CH₂Co(DMG)₂B radical. Values of ¹J(¹³C? H) coupling constants, measured in ¹³C enriched methylcobaloximes, do not vary appreciably when B is changed (J(¹³C? H) = 137 ± 1 Hz) and are close to the value obtained for methylcobalamine.     

Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire en phase nématique. Exploration de la barrière d'empêchement à la libre rotation de la monofluoroacétone

The NMR spectra of monochloro-, monobromo- and monofluoroacetone (CH₃? CO? CH₂X with X = Cl, Br, F) oriented in a nematic phase have been measured and the direct dipolar coupling constants determined. The barrier to internal rotation for the CH₂F group has been studied for fluorine compound using various hypotheses. The best agreement with IR data has been obtained using the potential equation V(θ) = Σ_n V_n × (1 – cos nθ)/2 and a Boltzmann distribution of the CH₂F group (V₁ = 250 ± 50 cal.mol^?1, V₂ = 1650 ± 100 cal.mol^?1, V₃ = ?1000 ± 100 cal.mol^?1).     

13C n.m.r. spectroscopy of diethyl alkyl- and benzyl-phosphonates. A study of phosphorus–carbon spin–spin coupling constants over one to seven bonds

¹³C chemical shifts and ³¹P? ¹³C spin–spin coupling constants are reported for 10 alkyl-, 20 benzyl- and 3 (naphthylmethyl)-phosphonates. While in saturated aliphatic chains P–C couplings over more than four bonds cannot be resolved, couplings over up to seven bonds are observed in the benzyl type systems. Conformational and substituent effects on J(PC) are studied and discussed. ⁿJ(PF) (n = 4, 5, 6) are reported for the isomeric (fluorobenzyl)phosphonates and ⁿJ(PP) (n = 5, 6, 7) were obtained from the ¹³C satellites in the ³¹P n.m.r. spectra of the isomeric diphosphonates, C₆H₄[CH₂P(O)(OEt)₂]₂. Comparison of those ¹³C absorptions of the latter, which represent the X parts of ABX or AA′X spin systems, with the spectra of the corresponding (methylbenzyl)phosphonates, CH₃C₆H₄CH₂P(O)(OEt)₂, yielded the relative signs of ⁿJ(PC) (n = 2–6).     

Stéréochimie en série aziridine: VI—Etude en Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire d'alcools aziridiniques primaires (configuration à l'azote,isoméries de rotation)

The PMR spectra of six primary aziridinyl carbinols are studied over a temperature range of ?30°C to +100°C. Nitrogen configuration is determined. When the inversion process is effective, kinetic parameters are evaluated. Rotational isomerism about the ‘ring? CH₂OH’ bond is studied from vicinal coupling constants associated with the two diastereotopic protons on the ? CH₂OH group. From the J(HOCH) coupling constant (in CCL₄) rotamer populations of the hydroxyl group are determined in some cases and the overall conformational distribution can be established.     

Structure and Magnetism of two Polynuclear Complexes Containing both Macrocyclic and Azido Ligands

The two complexes of formula [Cu₂(CuL)₂(μ‐N₃)₄] · 2CH₃OH ( 1 ) and [Cu₂(NiL)₂(μ‐N₃)₄] · 2CH₃OH ( 2 ) (CuL and NiL, H₂L = 2,3‐dioxo‐5,6,14,15‐dibenzo‐1,4,8,12‐tetraazacyclo‐pentadeca‐7,13‐dien), were synthesized and structurally determined. The magnetic susceptibility data of 1 and 2 were analyzed. For complex 1 , magnetic measurements show alternating ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic exchange couplings J₁ = 23.67 cm^–1, J₂ = –189.11 cm^–1, zJ’ = –0.62 cm^–1. For complex 2 , the doubly bridged asymmetric EO promotes a ferromagnetic interaction between Cu^II and Cu^II ions(J = 40.764 cm^–1).     

Stereoselectivity in Diphos Addition to Molybdenum Complex with Pyridine‐2‐thionate (pyS) and η3‐Methallyl Coordinated Ligands

The conformational isomers endo‐ and exo‐[Mo{η³‐C₃H₄(CH₃)}(η²‐pyS)(CO)(η²‐diphos)] (diphos: dppm = {bis(diphenylphosphino)methane}, 2 ; dppe = {1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane}, 3 ) are prepared by reacting the double‐bridged pyridine‐2‐thionate (pyS) complex [Mo{η³‐C₃H₄(CH₃)}(CO)₂]₂(η¹:η²:μ‐pyS)₂, 1 with diphos in refluxing acetonitrile. Stereoselectivity of the methallyl, C₃H₄(CH₃), ligand improves the formation of the exo‐conformation of 2 and 3 . Orientations and spectroscopy of these complexes are discussed.     

One‐Dimensional Ferromagnetically Coupled Bimetallic Chains Constructed with trans‐[Ru(acac)2(CN)2]−: Syntheses,Structures, Magnetic Properties,and Density Functional Theoretical Study

Four cyano‐bridged 1D bimetallic polymers have been prepared by using the paramagnetic building block trans‐[Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂]^? (Hacac=acetylacetone): {[{Ni(tren)}{Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂}][ClO₄]?CH₃OH}_n ( 1 ) (tren=tris(2‐aminoethyl)amine), {[{Ni(cyclen)}{Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂}][ClO₄]? CH₃OH}_n ( 2 ) (cyclen=1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane), {[{Fe(salen)}{Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂}]}_n ( 3 ) (salen^2?=N,N′‐bis(salicylidene)‐o‐ethyldiamine dianion) and [{Mn(5,5′‐Me₂salen)}₂{Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂}][Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂]? 2 CH₃OH ( 4 ) (5,5′‐Me₂salen=N,N′‐bis(5,5′‐dimethylsalicylidene)‐o‐ethylenediimine). Compounds 1 and 2 are 1D, zigzagged NiRu chains that exhibit ferromagnetic coupling between Ni^II and Ru^III ions through cyano bridges with J=+1.92 cm^?1, z J′=?1.37 cm^?1, g=2.20 for 1 and J=+0.85 cm^?1, z J′=?0.16 cm^?1, g=2.24 for 2 . Compound 3 has a 1D linear chain structure that exhibits intrachain ferromagnetic coupling (J=+0.62 cm^?1, z J′=?0.09 cm^?1, g=2.08), but antiferromagnetic coupling occurs between FeRu chains, leading to metamagnetic behavior with T_N=2.6 K. In compound 4 , two Mn^III ions are coordinated to trans‐[Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂]^? to form trinuclear Mn₂Ru units, which are linked together by π–π stacking and weak Mn???O* interactions to form a 1D chain. Compound 4 shows slow magnetic relaxation below 3.0 K with ?=0.25, characteristic of superparamagnetic behavior. The Mn^III???Ru^III coupling constant (through cyano bridges) and the Mn^III???Mn^III coupling constant (between the trimers) are +0.87 and +0.24 cm^?1, respectively. Compound 4 is a novel single‐chain magnet built from Mn₂Ru trimers through noncovalent interactions. Density functional theory (DFT) combined with the broken symmetry state method was used to calculate the molecular magnetic orbitals and the magnetic exchange interactions between Ru^III and M (M=Ni^II, Fe^III, and Mn^III) ions. To explain the somewhat unexpected ferromagnetic coupling between low‐spin Ru^III and high‐spin Fe^III and Mn^III ions in compounds 3 and 4 , respectively, it is proposed that apart from the relative symmetries, the relative energies of the magnetic orbitals may also be important in determining the overall magnetic coupling in these bimetallic assemblies.     

Interactions Intramolécularies—XVII Calcul des constantes de couplage en RMN du cyclohexane et de cyclohexanes substitués. Comparaison des méthodes de Pople et Santry et des perturbations finies

Proton–proton ³J, ⁴J and ⁵J NMR coupling constants have been calculated for cyclohexane and monosubstituted cyclohexane conformers (substitiuents: Li, CH₃, OH, F) by the two methods mentioned. Comparing the two methods on the basis of group theory, we show the necessity to use the second. The results from this method are compared with those of the literature.
