Atropisomerism of phosphorus-containing N-aryl carbamates. Experimental and computational data

Studies by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis revealed hindered rotation of the aromatic substituent about the C_Ar—N bond in ortho-substituted (except for o-fluorine-substituted) phosphorus-containing carbamates. The energy barriers to rotation (G _c ) and coalescence temperatures (T _c) determined by the coalescence method increase with increasing volume of the ortho substituent. Conformations resulting from rotation of the ortho-substituted aryl group about the C_Ar—N bond were analyzed by quantum-chemical methods, potential curves were constructed, and differences between the conformational energies and the heights of rotation barriers were estimated. The theoretical rotation barriers change in parallel with the experimental values of G _c ; however, the theoretical values are much smaller in magnitude.

Paramagnetic Birefringence of Heteronuclear Erbium(III), Thulium(III), and Iron(III) d- and dl-Tartrates

Formation of heteronuclear erbium(III), thulium(III), and iron(III) d- and dl-tartrates was studied by proton magnetic relaxation, pH-metry, and paramagnetic birefringence in combination with mathematical simulation. The paramagnetic birefringence constants mP of the complexes were calculated.
