29Si and 13C NMR spectra of five 4-substituted 2,6-dimethoxytrimethylsiloxybenzenes were studied with the aim to elucidate the nature of the deshielding proximity effects observed in the spectra of ortho substituted trimethylsiloxybenzenes. The sensitivity of 29Si chemical shifts to para substitution is in the studied compounds essentially the same as in mono ortho methoxytrimethylsiloxybenzenes. The deshielding proximity effect of the ìsecondî methoxy group is somewhat smaller than that of the ìfirstî group. The present results indicate that the two methoxy groups assume coplanar conformations with the benzene ring and are turned away from the trimethylsiloxy group which is not in the benzene plane. It is argued that in mono ortho methoxytrimethylsiloxybenzenes the two substituent groups adopt the same conformations as in the compounds studied here.

Helicoidal Structure

Three-ring chiral liquid crystalline compounds, forming antiferroelectric phase, differing in the structure of alkyl chain and in the substitution of benzene ring by fluorine atoms were studied. The measurements of helical pitch, based on the selective light reflection phenomenon, were performed as well as 1H and 13C NMR spectra at room temperature were registered. The influence of molecular structure as well as the type of helicoidal structure on the chemical shift of signals coming from chiral center was observed.

Quadrupolar Splittings

T he quadrupolar coupling constants (DQCC) and the asymmetry parameters (η) for the ortho, meta and para deuterons in pyridine-d5, benzonitrile-d5 and chlorobenzene-d5 were determined by NMR spectroscopy in oriented phases. The 1H and 2H NMR spectra were recorded in the following solutions in liquid crystal solvents: pyridine + pyridine-d5 in PCH , in ZLI 1167 and in EBBA; benzonitrile + benzonitrile-d5 and chlorobenzene + chlorobenzene-d5 in the same solvents.The order parameters of the non-deuterated solutes in the various solutions were calculated using the dipolar couplings of the proton spectra and the rα structures taken from the literature. The same order parameters were assumed to describe also the orientation of the deuterated solute in the corresponding solutions.Each 2H spectrum yielded three quadrupolar splittings for the three different deuterated positions in the labelled solute. The splittings from the three different solutions of the same solute, together with the order parameters and the rα structure, were used to determine DQCC and η of the ortho, meta and para deuterons (Pyridine-d5: DQCCortho= 183(1) kHz, ηortho = 0.030(5), DQCCmeta = 185(1) kHz, ηmeta = 0.030(10), DQCCpara = 188(6) kHz, ηpara = 0.01(5). Benzonitrile-d5: DQCCortho = 171(12) kHz, ηortho = 0.07(3), DQCCmeta = 175(12) kHz, ηmeta = 0.05(3), DQCCpara = 176(4) kHz, ηpara = 0.10(7). Chlorobenzene-d5: DQCCortho = 180(2) kHz, ηortho = 0.06(1), DQCCmeta = 174(2) kHz, ηmeta = 0.09(3), DQCCpara= 182(4) kHz, ηPara = 0.06(4)). The results are discussed, as well as the limits and possibilities of the method used.
