The analysis of the n.m.r, spectra of 2,2?-, 3,3?-, and 4,4?-bipyridyl and three dimethyl-2,2?-bipyridyls is reported and the factors determining the relative chemical shifts of the ring protons and methyl groups in several solvents are discussed. The diamagnetic anisotropy of the neighbouring ring and electrostatic field effect of the nitrogen lone pair electrons are shown to be of roughly equal importance for derivatives of 2,2?-bipyridyl except in hydrogen bonding solvents. Attenuation of the electrostatic field effect in polar, and particularly in hydrogen bonding solvents, is established for 4- picoline, and for the bipyridyls, and this effect is responsible for striking changes in the spectrum of 2,2?-bipyridyl in hydrogen bonding solvents. An approximate interplanar angle of 58� is derived for 3,3?- dimethyl-2,2?-bipyridyl, and 2,2?-bipyridyl and its 4,4?- and 5,5?- dimethyl derivatives appear to be trans coplanar in all solvents. 3,3?- Bipyridyl and 4,4?-bipyridyl are probably highly twisted in all solvents, or alternatively, behave as essentially free rotors. The predicted conformations are in good agreement with the electronic spectral data.

AbstractProton chemical shifts in styryldiazines and diazaphenanthrenes linearly correlate with SCF-π-electron densities of the attached carbon atom and with the electron densities of the hydrogen atom (calculated by the CNDO/2 method). The observed deviations from linearity are discussed in terms of ring current effect, steric effects and the paramagnetic effect of the nitrogen lone pair electrons. An appreciable weakening of ring current is found for diazaphenanthrenes with two adjacent N-atoms. Under the same condition the paramagnetic effect on ortho-hydrogens is increased.

13C chemical shifts and 13C–31P couplings are reported for 11 cyclic phosphoramidates of ring sizes from four to nine. Vicinal couplings are compared with those of carbocyclic analogs and provide insight regarding the degree of nitrogen lone pair derealization into the N—P bond. For six-membered and larger rings, there appears to be nearly complete lone pair delocalization, i.e., a trigonal planar nitrogen atom. In azetidine derivatives the nitrogen lone pair remains localized, giving rise to a highly puckered ring conformation. Pyrrolidine derivatives are viewed as having a nitrogen with a partially delocalized electron pair.

A CSD analysis and DFT study reveal that the nitrogen lone-pair in [N(PPh3)2]+ is partially intact and involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Charge-transfer (CT) complexation between some [2.2]- and [2.2.2]paracyclophane-carbamates as donors with 2,3-dichloro-5.6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDO ) as well as tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) as π-acceptors has been evidenced by VIS. 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The site of interaction in the two different donor systems was determined. The results reveal no contribution of the nitrogen lone pair electrons of the carbamate functional group in the CT complexation. and the interaction is mainly of π-π* type. In addition, the existence of the transannular electronic interactions in [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives is responsible for CT complex formation.

A statistical analysis of entries from the CSD (Cambridge Structural Database) showed that the average hydrogen-bond geometry to the nitrogen acceptor atom of the thiocyanate anion was not collinear with respect to the molecular axis of the anion and so not collinear with the nitrogen lone pair [Tchertanov & Pascard (1996). Acta Cryst. B52, 685–690]. This somewhat unexpected result has been investigated further using theoretical energy calculations applying Intermolecular Perturbation Theory in combination with a more detailed statistical analysis of an appropriate CSD dataset. The energy calculations pointed to the formation of the strongest hydrogen bonds in the nitrogen lone-pair direction. The statistical analysis showed that this directionality occurs in cases where the N atom accepts one hydrogen bond only. The non-linear average hydrogen-bond geometry observed in the earlier study can be attributed to multiple hydrogen bonding to the N atom. In such cases, there is a shift away from the optimum orientation.


The contributions of the dispersive and repulsive potentials to the lattice energy of S -triazine are calculated on the basis of bond-bond and atom-atom interactions respectively. The cell dimensions obtained by minimizing the energy agree with the experimental data to within 4% and the heat of sublimation derived from the vapour pressure measurements is quite close to the calculated lattice energy. The probable effect of the electrostatic forces is dis­cussed and found to be of only marginal importance in determining the crystal structure. No evidence is found for anomalously large repulsions by the nitrogen-lone pair electrons.
