1H and 13C NMR spectral parameters are reported for the S-pseudoazulenes thialene (cyclopenta[b]thiapyran) (I) and isothialene (cyclopenta[c]thiapyran) (II). Both compounds display complex first order spectra, with thialene having 10 and isothialene 14 of 15 possible coupling constants. Complete unambiguous assignments of all protons and non-quaternary carbons were made via 2-dimensional NMR techniques and PPP-SCF π-electron density/chemical shift and π-bond order/vicinal coupling constant correlations.
