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.

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of BF3, BCl3, and BBr3 adducts of acetonitrile have been measured in nitrobenzene solution. Single peaks were observed in each case and chemical shifts relative to tetramethylsilane decreased in the order BBr3 > BCl3 > BF3, suggesting that this is the order of acceptor activity toward acetonitrile. Linear relationships exist between methyl proton chemical shifts of CH3CN•BX3 and the heats of formation, dipole moments, and infrared vibrational shifts of the same or related adducts.

Proton n.m.r. spectra of 111 substituted azoles are compared. The influence of the azole ring on the chemical shifts of substituent phenyl protons is discussed. A correlation between N-methyl chemical shifts and the structural characteristics of the N-methyl group in mono- and disubstituted azoles is noted.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques are used to determine the chlorination pattern on a number of chlorinated pyrenes and pyrene-addition products. Determining chemical shifts, couplings, and longitudinal relaxation rates makes the unequivocal assignment of these molecules possible. Chlorination under the conditions described here were found to follow the normal orientation rules for pyrene. Spectral parameters obtained from these molecules are consistent enough to allow further application to unknown compounds. This should simplify assigning NMR spectra to other chlorinated pyrene standards.

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy and the pH dependence of the chemical shifts of the nonlabile protons have been used to determine the preferred protonation sites in tetraethylenepentaamineheptaacetic acid (TPHA). The nitrogen atoms are protonated more readily than the carboxylate groups with the sequence of protonation dependent on electrostatic interactions. The 1:1 Pb(II)–TPHA complex which is not protonated for solution conditions from pH 10 to 14, has five metal–nitrogen bonds. The coordinate bonds are labile so that rapid interconversion between nonequivalent configurations produces an average configuration in which the protons of the acetate groups exhibit single n.m.r. peaks. Protonation of the complex probably occurs in three stages. From pH 10 to pH 8 the preferred protonation sites are the terminal nitrogen atoms with the attendant elimination of the metal–nitrogen bonds. Increasing the acidity to pH 4 causes all but the central nitrogen site to be protonated. Below pH 4 the central nitrogen atom becomes protonated and causes further unwrapping of the complex.

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.
