In order to obtain a deeper insight into the title effect, several compounds with an F atom very close to a C-H of a nearby functional group were synthesized and the relevant couplings measured. The most conspicuous case was that of 8-fluoro-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde where a close proximity between the F and H atoms is the result of fluorine-oxygen repulsion and the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. The experimental four-bond J(F,CHO) coupling is 26.2 Hz. A compound very similar to this one, but without the OH group, was chosen on which to perform a polarization propagator analysis of the through-space (TS) coupling pathways, at the RPA-INDO level. The expression for the TS coupling in terms of the projected polarization propagator and perturbators was numerically analysed. It is found that this coupling is completely dominated by a TS component of the Fermi contact (FC) term, the main features of which are: ( i ) It decays exponentially with the F-H distance; (ii) Its main contribution comes from an electron excitation involving the F lone-pair, the C-H bond of the CHO moiety and its corresponding antibonding orbital;(iii) The π-type lone-pair does not contribute to the TS coupling pathway of the FC term.

We will present resonant two-photon ionization spectra for meso-tetraphenylporphyrin, H 2 TPP , measured under isolated conditions. The polycrystalline compound was vaporized, in vacuo, using both thermal and laser desorption, and seeded into a supersonic expansion of an inert-carrier gas. The molecules remain largely intact in the gaseous phase. However, the two techniques for vaporizing H 2 TPP give different internal temperatures for the isolated substrate, with greater vibrational cooling achieved using laser desorption. A comparison of the peak positions and intensities in the resonant two-photon ionization spectra of thermal- and laser-desorbed molecules provides an insight into the vibrational structure of the Q band. In particular, the greater contribution made by electronic transitions originating from higher vibrational levels in the ground state of H 2 TPP is emphasized. We conclude that vibronic coupling in the ground electronic state plays an important role in a quantum-mechanical interpretation of the Q band.

The quantum solid para-hydrogen (p-H2) has recently proven useful in matrix isolation spectroscopy. Spectral lines of compounds embedded in this host are unusually narrow, and several species have been reported to rotate in p-H2. We found that a p-H2 matrix inhibits rotation of isolated methanol (CH3OH) but still allows internal rotation about the C–O bond, with splittings of the E/A torsional doublet in internal rotation–coupled vibrational modes that are qualitatively consistent with those for CH3OH in the gaseous phase. This simplified high-resolution spectrum further revealed the slow conversion of nuclear spin symmetry from species E to species A in the host matrix, offering potential insight into nuclear spin conversion in astrophysical sources.
