Measurements of vicinal H—N—C—H coupling constants in the conjugate acids of two tertiary amines having known rigid conformations provide support for the validity of the Karplus relation for this type of coupling constant. Seven vicinal coupling constants agree to within 0.5 Hz with those calculated from the expression [Formula: see text].

endo-2-Dimethylphosphono-exo-2-hydroxy-(-)-camphane (2) is prepared and the structure confirmed by X-ray data. The complete assignment of the 13C NMR spectrum of this conformationally rigid derivative leads to a Karplus-type function for the vicinal 3J(CCCP) coupling constant in α-hydroxy phosphonates.

Some 30 proton chemical shifts and proton–proton coupling constants are reported for a 4.7 mol% solution of 3-phenylpentane in a CS2/C6D12/TMS solvent mixture at 300 K. The long-range coupling constant over six formal bonds between the methine and para protons is used to deduce an apparent twofold barrier of 15.0 ± 0.3 kJ/mol to rotation about the Csp2—Csp3 bond, at least twice as large as that for isopropylbenzene in solution. AM1 computations agree with experiment in finding the conformation of lowest energy as that in which the methine C—H bond is situated in the phenyl plane, but predict a barrier height of only 13.9 kJ/mol. The vicinal coupling constants are consistent with a fractional population, 0.38(2), of the TT conformer, that in which all the carbon atoms of the alkyl chain lie in a plane. A doubly degenerate conformer, TG+(G−T), in which one methyl group is twisted away from the phenyl substituent, then has a fractional population of 0.62(2). The assumption that only these three conformers are present is tested with the signs and magnitudes of the four different coupling constants over four bonds. These coupling constants are consistent with the absence of significant proportions of the other six all-staggered conformers. These six are characterized by a close approach of the methyl groups (1,5 interactions) or by proximity of the methyl and phenyl moieties.

The solvent dependence of vicinal coupling constants has been investigated for (1,2-dibromoethyl)-benzene and three of its 4-substituted derivatives and for threo- and erythro(1,2-dibromopropyl)benzene. The temperature dependence of the vicinal coupling constants of three of the compounds has also been investigated. The difference between the two vicinal coupling constants of (1,2-dibromoethyl)benzene is dependent upon solution dielectric constant (in non-aromatic solvents) while the sum of coupling constants remains constant. The relative stabilities of its three rotamers are deduced from this information. A polar substituent in the 4-position does not affect the rotational equilibrium in any predictable manner. The vicinal coupling constant of threo(1,2-dibromopropyl)benzene is strongly solvent dependent. The relative stabilities of its three rotamers are deduced from the observation that the vicinal coupling constant is temperature independent. The most stable rotamer of erythro(1,2-dibromopropyl)-benzene is deduced from the observation that the vicinal coupling constant is large and independent of solvent. Factors affecting conformational preference are deduced. It is concluded that dipolar interactions are as important as steric interactions.

This work evaluates the quality of exchange coupling constant and spin crossover gap calculations using density functional theory corrected by the Approximate Projection model. Results show that improvements using the Approximate Projection model range from modest to significant. This study demonstrates that, at least for the class of systems examined here, spin-projection generally improves the quality of density functional theory calculations of J-coupling constants and spin crossover gaps. Furthermore, it is shown that spin-projection can be important for both geometry optimization and energy evaluations. The Approximate Project model provides an affordable and practical approach for effectively correcting spin-contamination errors in molecular exchange coupling constant and spin crossover gap calculations.

A detailed study has been made of both the 1H and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectra of a series of hexopyranosyl fluoride derivatives. Some of the 1H spectra were measured at 220 MHz. The 1H spectral parameters define both the configuration and the conformation of each of these derivatives. Study of the 19F n.m.r. parameters revealed several stereospecific dependencies. The 19F chemical shifts depend upon, (a) the orientation of the fluorine substituent with respect to the pyranose ring and, (b) the relative orientation of other substituents attached to the ring; for acetoxy substituents, these configurational dependencies appear to be additive. The vicinal19F–1H coupling constants exhibit a marked angular dependence for which Jtrans = ca. 24 Hz whilst Jgauche = 1.0 to 1.5 Hz for [Formula: see text] and 7.5 to 12.6 Hz for [Formula: see text] The geminal19F–1H couplings depend on the orientation of the substituent at C-2; when this substituent is equatorial JF,H is ca. 53.5 Hz and when it is axial the value is ca. 49 Hz.

An excellent linear correlation (r = 0.9999) exists between the spin–spin coupling constants 1J(1H,13C), in benzene dissolved in four solvents (R. Laatikainen et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 117, 11006 (1995)) and Ando's solvation dielectric function, ε/(ε – 1). The solvents are cyclohexane, carbon disulfide, pyridine, and acetone. 1J(1H,13C)for gaseous benzene is predicted to be 156.99(2) Hz at 300 K. Key words: spin–spin coupling constants, 1J(1H,13C) for benzene in the vapor phase; spin–spin coupling constants, solvent dielectric constant dependence of 1J(1H,13C) in benzene; benzene, estimate of 1J(1H,13C) in the vapor; nuclear magnetic resonance, estimate of 1J(1H,13C) in gaseous benzene.

The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectral parameters are reported for benzylidene diacetate in CS2 and acetone-d6 solutions. The long-range spin–spin coupling constant over six formal bonds, 6J, is used to derive apparent twofold barriers to rotation about the exocyclic C(1)—C bond in the two solutions. The conformation of lowest energy has the α. C—H bond in the benzene plane. The barrier is higher in CS2 than in acetone-d6 solution, in contrast to a molecule like benzyl chloride. In the 2,6-dibromo derivative, the free energy of activation for reorientation about the bond in question is 36 kJ/mol at 165 K in dimethyl ether solution. Such a high barrier implies a very small six-bond proton–proton coupling constant for this derivative because 6J is proportional to the expectation value of sin2θ. The angle θ is zero when the α C—H bond lies in the benzene plane. 6J is −0.051 Hz in acetone-d6 solutions; its sign is determined by double resonance experiments. The question of an angle-independent component of 6J, that is, whether 6J is finite at θ = 0°, is addressed. A maximum magnitude of 0.02 Hz may be present at θ = 0° for the 2,6-dibromo derivative, although a zero magnitude is also compatible with the experimental data. In a compound with a higher internal barrier, α,α,2,6-tetrachlorotoluene, the experimental results are best in accord with a negligibly small 6J at θ = 0°. Keywords: 1H NMR of benzylidene diacetate, spin–spin coupling constants for benzylidene diacetate, DNMR, 2,6-dibromobenzylidene diacetate.

The Nambu–Bogoliubov–de Gennes method is applied to the problem of superconducting QCD. The effective quark–quark interaction is described within the framework of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. The details of the phase diagram are given as a function of the strength of the quark–quark coupling constant G′. It is found that there is no superconducting phase transition when one uses the relation between the coupling constants G′ and G of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model which follows from the Fierz transformation. However, for other values of G′ one can find a rich phase structure containing both the chiral and the superconducting phase transitions.
