A series of methyl-5,6,11,12-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cycloocten-5-ols were synthesized, and their conformations assigned by means of proton nuclear magnetic resonance. Placing substituents in three of the four available sites on the eight-membered ring enabled the chemical shifts of the geminal proton to be observed. It was found that the three sites have intrinsic chemical shifts. The compounds studied were found to populate a twist-boat conformation, with bulky substituents preferentially populating the axial site.

The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spin-lattice and spin–spin relaxation rate enhancements induced by the gadolinium(III) ion were measured in solutions of glycine, alanine, and sodium lactate containing different amounts of Gd(III). The proton relaxation rates in the Gd(III) complexes were calculated from these data, and were used to calculate metal–hydrogen atom distances. Comparison of these data with corresponding distances calculated from literature X-ray crystallographic data for model compounds shows that in the two amino acid complexes the Gd(III) ion is coordinated in a four-membered ring through the two oxygen atoms of the carboxylate group. By contrast, in the lactate complex coordination is via a five-membered ring involving one oxygen atom of the carboxylate group and the α-hydroxyl oxygen.
