In systems where substituent effects are constant, there is a well defined trend in the magnitude of geminal interproton coupling constants in exocyclic methylene groups with ring size. Reduction of ring size from six to five to four results in a monotonic reduction in the magnitude of Jgem. These trends apply to methylenecycloalkanes , methylenebenzocycloalkenes and α- methylenecycloalkanones . There is an indication that the trend does not continue for methylenecyclopropanes. A number of new exocyclic-methylene compounds have been designed and synthesized to provide specific experimental data.

N.m.r. parameters for 55 compounds incorporating exocyclic groups were obtained. In unstrained structures the relative (as well as the absolute) magnitudes of transoid and cisoid allylic coupling constants depend on the magnitudes of the dihedral angles but additional effects were also identified. The magnitudes of geminal coupling constants between the protons of exocyclic methylene groups and of homoallylic coupling constants involving exocyclic ethylidene and isopropylidene groups vary systematically with ring size.

Boron-nitrogen compounds were studied with respect to indirect nuclear 15N-11B spin-spin coupling (1J(15N,11B)). Some new experimental data were determined for aminoboranes and tetra-Npyrrolylborate, and a variety of compounds with B-N single, double and triple bonds were examined using DFT methods for the calculation of 1J(15N,11B) at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. The calculations predict magnitude and sign of 1J(15N,11B) reasonably well, and the Fermi contact term was found to be dominant. A positive sign of 1J(15N,11B) was calculated in the case of 1-azacloso- dodecaborane(12), in contrast to all other compounds studied.

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sets, are reported for thianthrene and thioxanthene, molecules in which both or only one of the methylene groups have been replaced by sulfur in 9,10-dihydroanthracene.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
