The nematic phase proton magnetic resonance spectra of cyclobutanone and methylenecyclobutane have been analyzed and the direct dipole coupling constants corrected for the averaging effects of the ring puckering vibrations. The nmr data have been used in conjunction with microwave spectroscopic results to derive the molecular structures.

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of 1,5- and 2,6-naphthyridine dissolved in the nematic liquid crystal MBBA have been analysed. The proton geometries do not give good fits to the ring skeleton structure but it appears that the carbon–hydrogen bond lengths are not all of equal length and the bond angles indicate some bending of the C—H bonds toward the adjacent nitrogen atom. The probability functions for orientation of diazanaphthalenes in nematic solvents show that nitrogen atoms in the ring framework affect the direction of principal orientation, which does not follow either the maximum molecular dimension or the inertial axis.

The nematic phase n.m.r. spectrum of partially oriented 2,5-dihydrofuran has been analyzed. Corrections to the structure for ring puckering and methylene rocking motions, according to the model due to Malloy, give improved agreement between experimental and calculated direct dipole–dipole coupling constants.

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.

Detailed studies, by 1H and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, of a series of fully esterified pentopyranosyl fluorides, show that all such derivatives favor that conformer in which the fluorine substituent is axially oriented. This conclusion is supported by separate considerations of the vicinal and geminal19F–1H and 1H–1H coupling constants, of the long-range (4J) 1H–1H and 19F–1H coupling constants and of the 19F chemical shifts. The limitations of the above conformational model are discussed.
