A very good correlation exists between long-range spin–spin coupling constants involving the α-protons in toluene, ethylbenzene, and cumene, and the changes in the chemical shifts of the para and α carbons caused by deuterium substitution at the α carbon. The coupling constants depend on sin2 θ, where θ is the angle by which the α C—H bond twists out of the ring plane, and can be used to find the expectation value of sin2 θ. Consequently the observed correlation provides quantitative support for the hyperconjugative model employed by Wesener and Günther.

13C,19F and 19F,19F nuclear spin–spin coupling constants over n formal bonds, n = 1–9, are reported for 4-fluorobiphenyl, 4,4′-difluorobiphenyl, 4,4′-difluoro-2,2′,6,6′-tetramethylbiphenyl, 2,7-difluorofluorene, 2-fluoro-9-fluorenone, and 2,7-difluoro-9-fluorenone in acetone solutions. The signs of many of the coupling constants are deduced from second-order spectral phenomena caused by differential 13C isotope effects on the I9F nmr chemical shifts. Theoretical potentials, based on geometry-optimized STO 3G MO computations for 4-fluorobiphenyl and 4,4′-difluorobiphenyl, yield expectation values for the torsion angles about the exocyclic C—C linkage that are very close to those deduced from electron diffraction patterns. These potentials and INDO MO FPT computations of the long-range coupling constants allow a discussion of the coupling mechanisms. In Hz, 9J(F,F) = 1.3(1) cos2 θ, where θ is zero for a planar biphenyl, while 8J(C,F) = 0.8(1) cos2 θ and 7J(C,F) = −0.43(5) cos2 θ. 6J(C,F) is a composite of σ–π and π electron coupling components and is written in Hz as 0.57(1) + 0.29(1) sin2 θ. The corresponding coupling constants in the fluorene and 9-fluorenone derivatives are enhanced in magnitude relative to a hypothetical planar biphenyl derivative. It is tentatively suggested that 5J(C,F) consists of three coupling components, one negative and proportional to cos2 θ, the other two positive and independent of θ. 4J(C,F) is suggested to consist of a σ component of −1.0 Hz and a π component proportional to the atom–atom polarizability for the parent hydrocarbon.

The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 2-isopropylbenzaldehyde in CS2/C6D12 and acetone-d6 solutions provide the chemical shifts and coupling constants of all the protons. The long-range coupling constants involving the side-chain protons yield certain sums of the populations of the four putatively planar conformations. The o-anti conformers have a fractional population of 0.55(3) in the polar and of 0.49(3) in the nonpolar solvent. The conformers in which the methine C—H bond lies cis to the aldehyde group have a fractional population of 0.83(3) in both solutions. The close approach of the methine and aldehydic hydrogen atoms in one conformer is indicated by a negative proximate coupling constant between their protons of –0.39(1) Hz. The chemical shifts of the ring and of the side-chain protons are consistent with the conformer populations deduced from the long-range coupling constants and also with the indications that the side chains do not, on average, deviate from "coplanarity" with the ring by much more or less than in the parent compounds. The C—H … H—C and C—H … O=C interactions in the o-syn and o-anti conformers are most likely repulsive and of very similar magnitude and lead to a significant deshielding of the protons in these moieties. Molecular orbital computations are also reported and are an aid in estimating the populations of the individual conformers. The STO-3G MO structures have H … H and H … O distances well below the sums of the van der Waals radii of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the conformers with the methine C—H bond placed cis to the aldehyde group, yet these are computed to be by far the most abundant by the STO-3G as well as by AM1 algorithms. Key words: 2-isopropylbenzaldehyde, conformations of; 2-isopropylbenzaldehyde, proximate spin–spin coupling constants in; MO calculations, STO-3G, and AM1 on 2-isopropylbenzaldehyde, 1H NMR and long-range spin–spin coupling constants in 2-isopropylbenzaldehyde.

A number of acetyl-substituted fluoronaphthalenes have been synthesized and their fluorine as well as proton N.M.R. spectra have been measured. The methyl proton resonances of these derivatives appeared as a doublet which indicated long-range coupling with the fluorine. It was observed that the coupling (JMe,F) for 3-acetyl-2-fluoronaphthalene and o- fluoroacetophenone is independent of the magnitude of the 19F substituent chemical shifts (scs) which are shown to be sensitive indices of the bond-order differences in naphthalene (C 1 and C 2; C 2 and C 3) and benzene. Furthermore, the magnitude of the long-range proton-fluorine spin-spin coupling constants are solvent dependent. The data are clearly in accord with a predominant contribution of a ?direct? mechanism to the proton-fluorine spin-spin coupling.

The 1H, 19Fand 13C{1H} nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-phenylethane, 1, in CS2–C6D12, acetone-d6, and benzene-d6 solutions, on analysis, yield long-range coupling constants from which are derived the apparent twofold barriers to rotation about the Csp2—Csp3 bonds. The twofold barrier is 9.0(2) kJ/mol, independent of solvent, 4.0 kJ/mol larger than that of ethylbenzene, also independent of solvent. The theoretical barrier heights for the free molecules at the post-Hartree–Fock level of molecular orbital theory (frozen-core MP2/6-31G*) also differ by 4 kJ/mol, but are about 1 kJ/mol higher than the experimental estimates. The perpendicular conformer is the most stable for both molecules. Comparisons are made with the benzyl halides, in which the internal barriers are remarkably sensitive to solvent. A spin–spin coupling constant over five formal bonds, 5J(H, F), involving the ortho protons in 1, is +0.74(2) Hz and is discussed in some detail in terms of its dependence on intenuclear distances (possible through-space interactions). The solvent perturbations of 3J(H, F) and of 2J(C, F) are of opposite sign. Other long-range coupling constants or their absence are also pointed out. For example, those between 19F and 13C nuclei or protons at the meta position are effectively zero; at the para position they are significant. Keywords: 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-phenylethane; 1H, 19F, and 13C NMR; long-range spin-spin coupling constants; through-space 1H, 19F spin–spin coupling constants; internal rotational potential; molecular orbital computations of internal potential.

The long-range spin–spin coupling constants for the sidechain protons in 3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxythiophenol show that the compound exists as a mixture of three conformers in CCl4 solution at 305 K. The conformer, in which the S—H bond is held roughly perpendicular to the ring plane by an [Formula: see text] hydrogen bond, is 13% abundant. The other two conformers, of roughly equal proportions, contain an [Formula: see text] hydrogen bond. One of these has the S—H bond cis to the OH group, the other has it trans. The chemical shifts of the SH proton and of H-6 are in agreement with these conclusions. The free energy preference of the [Formula: see text] over the [Formula: see text] bond is 1140 ± 100 cal/mol at 305 K. The five-bond coupling between the sidechain protons is negative and very likely involves proximate interactions via lone pairs on oxygen and/or sulfur.

Spin Spin Coupling

The signs of all proton–proton and proton–fluorine spin–spin coupling constants in 2-fluoro-3-methylpyridine have been determined by double and triple resonance experiments. The signs of the longrange coupling constants, JH,CH3 and JF,CH3 are the same as in fluorotoluene derivatives. Their magnitudes are consistent with the assumption that the nitrogen atom primarily polarizes the σ bonds in the molecule, leaving the π contribution to the long-range coupling relatively unaffected.

Spin Spin Coupling

The stereospecific spin–spin coupling constants over five bonds between the α-proton in the side chain and the protons in the heterocycle in 2-vinylfuran, in its β-nitro and β-aldehydic derivatives, and in 2-vinylthiophene are used to demonstrate the preponderance of the s-trans conformers in polar and nonpolar solutions. These conclusions are compared with predictions made by molecular orbital theory at the STO-3G, INDO, CNDO/2, and MINDO/3 levels. Long-range coupling constants between the protons in the side chain and protons in the heterocycle are calculated by CNDO/2 and INDO–MO–FPT and are compared with experiment. It is concluded that the five-bond couplings involving the α-proton are most sensitive to conformation and that they are transmitted mainly via a σ electron mechanism. The other long-range coupling constants are discussed in terms of σ and π electron mechanisms. The STO-3G calculations yield barriers to internal rotation of greater than 4.8 kcal/mol.
