The proton magnetic resonance spectra of dimethylthallium ion has been studied in both anionic and cationic detergent nematic phases. The spectra were analyzed to derive the values of inter- and intramethyl proton–proton dipolar coupling and the intermethyl scalar coupling constants. The degree of orientation of the dimethylthallium cation is much higher in the anionic nematic phase than in the cationic phase. It is proposed that electrostatic interactions play a significant role in the orientation of complex ions in ionic detergent nematic phases.

The nematic regions of the ternary phase diagram for alkali metal decyl sulfates/decanol/D2O have been investigated. The lithium detergent system has a very restricted region of type I nematic phase which orients parallel to the magnetic field with a long time constant. The sodium detergent also forms a rather restricted nematic region which may be type II, oriented perpendicular to the magnetic field or type I oriented parallel to the magnetic field, depending on the decanol content. The rubidium and potassium detergents were insufficiently soluble to form phases while the cesium detergent forms a very extensive type II nematic phase region with wide variations in water contents and with decanol between 2 and 7 wt.%. It is clear that the cesium decyl sulfate system has considerable advantage over the sodium detergent in forming nematic phases for use as orienting media for small molecules and ions in n.m.r. studies.The partially averaged nuclear quadrupole coupling constants of Li-7, Na-23, and Cs-133 in ions and D-2 in the D2O have been used as the primary tool in investigating the phase behavior. Quadrupole couplings have been reduced to unit quadrupole moment for the nucleus. The resultant quantity "Es" in Hz b−1 reflects the strongly increasing electric field gradient induced in the monatomic ions by the nematic medium in going from Li+ to Cs+. The partially averaged quadrupole splittings which appear for the alkali metal ions in these uniaxial media are the result of distortion of the spherical symmetry of the ion and should not be interpreted in terms of degrees of orientation of the ion.

Reaction of 3β-acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) and 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-19α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with diazomethane afforded derivatives XII-XIV with spiroepoxide group in position 21 or 22, which were further converted into hydroxy derivatives XV and XVII. Ethylene ketals VIII-X were also prepared. In connection with the determination of position and configuration of the functional groups at C(21) and C(22), the 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of the prepared compounds are discussed. Complete analysis of two four-spin systems in the 1H NMR spectrum of bisethylenedioxy derivative Xb led to the proton-proton coupling constants from which the structure with two 1,4-dioxane rings condensed with ring E, and their conformation, was derived.

The conformational behaviour of a series of N-substituted thiohydantoins of proline was studied by proton NMR. The pseudorotational parameters of the proline moiety were calculated from the ten vicinal proton-proton coupling constants assuming a two state equilibrium (N ⇋ S). The effect of the different substituents (methyl, phenyl, para-nitrophenyl) at the thiohydantoin nitrogen on the conformation of the pyrrolidine rings is discussed. The spectra of proline-N-methylthiohydantoin were recorded at different temperatures in octadeuterotoluene solution. The conformational analysis of these spectra showed that the ratio of the populations of the N and S forms changes considerably with temperature, while the conformational identity of both the N and S forms remains strictly preserved. These facts provide an additional experimental justification of the two-state assumption, at least so for the present model compounds.

The isotopically enriched cyanide anion, (13C≡15N)−, has a great potential as the NMR probe of non-covalent interactions. However, hydrogen cyanide is highly toxic and can decompose explosively. It is therefore desirable to be able to theoretically estimate any valuable results of certain experiments in advance in order to carry out experimental studies only for the most suitable molecular systems. We report the effect of hydrogen bonding on NMR properties of 15N≡13CH···X and 13C≡15NH···X hydrogen bonding complexes in solution, where X = 19F, 15N, and O=31P, calculated at the ωB97XD/def2tzvp and the polarizable continuum model (PCM) approximations. In many cases, the isotropic 13C and 15N chemical shieldings of the cyanide anion are not the most informative NMR properties of such complexes. Instead, the anisotropy of these chemical shieldings and the values of scalar coupling constants, including those across hydrogen bonds, can be used to characterize the geometry of such complexes in solids and solutions. 1J(15N13C) strongly correlates with the length of the N≡C bond.

We start systematic investigation for the possibility to have supersymmetry (SUSY) as an asymptotic state of the gauge theory in the high energy (UV) limit, due to the renormalization group running of coupling constants of the theory. The answer on whether this situation takes place or not, can be resolved by dealing with the running of the ratios between Yukawa and scalar couplings to the gauge coupling. The behavior of these ratios does not depend too much on whether gauge coupling is asymptotically free (AF) or not. It can be shown that the UV stable fixed point for the Yukawa coupling is not supersymmetric. Taking this into account, one can break down SUSY only in the scalar coupling sector. We consider two simplest examples of such breaking, namely N = 1 supersymmetric QED and QCD. In one of the cases one can construct an example of SUSY being restored in the UV regime.

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.
