The accurate calculation of the isotropic (Jiso) and anisotropic (ΔJ) parts of indirect nuclear spin–spin coupling tensors is a stringent test for quantum chemistry, particularly for couplings involving heavy isotopes where relativistic effects and relativity – electron correlation cross terms are expected to play an important role. Experimental measurements on diatomic molecules in the gas phase offer ideal data for testing the success of computational approaches, since the data are essentially free from intermolecular effects, and precise coupling anisotropies may be reliably extracted in favourable cases. On the basis of available experimental molecular-beam coupling-tensor parameters for diatomic alkali metal halides, we tabulate known values of Jiso and, taking rotational–vibrational corrections to the direct dipolar coupling constant into account, precise values of ΔJ are determined for the ground rovibrational state. First-principles calculations of the coupling tensors were performed using a recently developed program based on hybrid density functional theory using the two-component relativistic zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA). Experimental trends in Jiso and ΔJ are reproduced with correlation coefficients of 0.993 and 0.977, respectively. Periodic trends in the coupling constants and their dependence on the product of the atomic numbers of the coupled nuclei are discussed. Finally, the hybrid functional method is also successfully tested against experimental data for a series of polyatomic xenon fluorides and group-17 fluorides.

The inversion potentials, obtained from STO-3G, STO-3G(*), 3-21G, 3-21G(*), and 4-31G basis sets, are reported for thianthrene and thioxanthene, molecules in which both or only one of the methylene groups have been replaced by sulfur in 9,10-dihydroanthracene. Comparison with the available experimental data suggests that the split-valence bases lead to an overestimate, possibly by about 10 kJ/mol, of the inversion barrier in the crystal, whereas the STO-3G and STO-3G* basis sets underestimate this barrier. It appears that the inversion barrier for thianthrene is much lower in solution than in the crystal. The long-range coupling constants between the methylene and ring protons for thioxanthene in solution are consistent with an inversion barrier somewhat smaller than those obtained with the split-valence bases but rather larger than those predicted with the STO-3G basis set. The bond lengths and angles in the equilibrium structures of the two molecules, as computed with the 3-21G(*) basis, agree reasonably well with those in their crystals, except that the theoretical folding angles are smaller than measured. These discrepancies become less marked when expectation values are calculated from the theoretical inversion potentials at finite temperatures. Key words: MO calculations, inversion potentials of thianthrene and thioxanthene; 1H NMR, thioxanthene; spin–spin coupling constants, long range, in thioxanthene.

Trimethylborane (1), triethylborane (2), 1,3-dimethyl-1-boracyclopentane (3), 1-methyl-1- boracyclohexane (4), 9-methyl- and 9-ethyl-9-borabicyclo[3.1.1]nonane [5(Me) and 5(Et)], and 1- boraadamantane (6) were studied by 11B and 13C NMR spectroscopy with respect to coupling constants 1J(13C,11B) and 1J(13C,13C). Results of DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+g(d,p) level of theory show satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. Hyperconjugation arising from C-C σ bonds adjacent to the tricoordinate boron atom is indicated, in particular for 1-boraadamantane (6), by the optimised calculated structures, and by the experimental and calculated data 1J(13C,13C). The calculated magnitude of 1J(13C,1H) for carbon atoms adjacent to boron becomes significantly smaller if the optimised structures suggest hyperconjugative effects arising from these C-H bonds
