Two new phloroglucinol polymers have been isolated from the aqueous extract of the brown alga Cystophora congesta. They are the linear trimer 2,2',4,6,6'-pentahydroxy-1'-(3,5-dihydroxyphenoxy)- biphenyl ether (1)* and the isomeric angular trimer 3,4',5,6'- or 3,3',5,5'-tetrahydroxy-2'-(3,4,5-tri-hydroxyphenoxy)biphenyl ether which was characterized as its heptaacetoxy derivative (4). Structures were elucidated principally from an analysis of 13C n.m.r. chemical shifts and 13C-1H spin-spin coupling data. X-ray analysis was performed on the heptaacetoxy derivative of (1) to distinguish it from a regio-isomer (3).

β-4-Thiouridine is a component of several tRNA molecules. A recent X-ray study has shown that this pyrimidine nucleoside favors the syn conformation in the crystalline state. The 100 and 220 MHz p.m.r. data and a comparison with those of uridine are presented here. A long-range five-bond spin–spin coupling interaction between the H-5 and -1′ hydrogens is noted. The results are consistent with an anti conformation for 4-thiouridine in an aqueous solution.

The 1H nmr spectral parameters are extracted for a 4 mol% solution of 2-methylthiobenzaldehyde in CCl4 at 305 K. The long-range spin–spin coupling constants involving the aldehydic and methyl protons are consistent only with a preferred conformation in which all heavy atoms are coplanar, as are the chemical shifts of the ring and methyl protons. This conclusion contradicts previous interpretations of the dipole moment, the nmr parameters, and of the infrared data for CCl4 solutions. The present data show that the O-syn and O-anti forms of the compound are present in roughly equal proportions.

N.m.r. data for 19 5-substituted and 13 polysubstituted benzo[b]thiophens are tabulated. The influence of the substituents at C5 on the chemical shifts of H4 and H6 is discussed. Long-range interproton spin-spin coupling between H3 and H7, and between H2 and H6, is general in benzo[b]thiophens. The vicinal coupling J6,7 in 5-substituted benzo[b]thiophens varies directly and linearly with the electronegativity of the substituents at C5.

Abstract A low temperature X-ray study of the enol of benzoylacetone indicates fixed positions of the C and O atoms within the enolic ring system and an extensive bond delocalisation over these atoms. The distribution of electron density between the two oxygen atoms shows that the enolic hydrogen is spread over a wide range. This is in accordance with a structural model proposed by de la Vega, whereupon the C and O atoms are kept fixed in their average positions during a tunneling process of the hydrogen between the two oxygen atoms. With this conception, the chemical shifts in the 17O and 13C NMR spectra, the 13C13C spin coupling constants and the temperature independance of these values can be explained.

Variations of the metal chemical shifts δ(51V), δ(55Mn) and δ(93Nb) with the paramagnetic deshielding contribution to the overall shielding are discussed in terms of influences imposed by the ligand field splitting, the nephelauxetic effect and the covalency of the metal-to-ligand bond. Complexes under investigation are isoelectronic and/or iso-structural series [M(CO)6-nLn]q (M = V, Nb: q = -1; M = Mn: q = + 1; n = 0-6), η5-C5H5M(CO)4-nLn (M = V, Nb; n = 0-4) and η5-C5H5M(L')2L (M = V, L' = NO; M = Mn, L' = CO). L is a monodentate or l/n oligodentate phosphine. η varies with the point symmetry of the complex, and with ligand parameters of primarily electronic or steric origin. Generally, for weak to medium π-interaction, there is a decrease of shielding with decreasing π-acceptor power of the ligand, increasing ligand bulkiness, increasing ring strains in chelate structures and increasing degree of substitution. For strong π-interaction, the trends may be interconverted. PF3 is shown to be a slightly weaker π-acceptor than CO. Selected results on nuclear-spin spin coupling constants, 13C and 31P shielding are also presented
