The 13C nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts and the 13C,19F spin–spin coupling constants are reported for 4,4′-difluorophenyl ether and 4-fluorophenyl phenyl ether in CS2 and in acetone-d6 solutions. An estimate of 6J90, the extremum in the σ–π coupling constant between the 19F nucleus on one ring and the ipso13C nucleus on the other, is obtained from measurements on 2,6-dibromo-4-fluorophenyl phenyl ether. The ensuing estimates of [Formula: see text], the expectation values of sin2 θ as obtained from 6J(13C,19F), are compared with those obtained from STO-3G MO computations for diphenyl ether and its 4-fluoro derivatives. These computations give conformational energies at 30° intervals of the angles of twist about the two C—O bonds. In rough agreement with C-INDO computations, interconversion of the helical forms is calculated to occur most easily by the so-called one-ring flip mechanism; the barrier to interconversion is less than 1 kJ/mol in the ether and its 4-fluoro derivatives. It appears that the conformational behaviour of these derivatives is unaltered by passage from CS2 to acetone solutions at 300 K. Furthermore, [Formula: see text] values from 6J(13C,I9F) in solution are very similar to those obtained from the computations on the free molecules. If this agreement is not accidental, then it may arise from a high degree of flexibility of the molecules in which, by a disrotatory or one-ring flip mechanism requiring a very low energy of activation, one helical or C2 conformation can be converted to another. The other conformations have considerably higher energies and the solvents do not appear to lower these energies enough to favor their populations significantly at 300 K.

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.

The 1H nmr spectral parameters are extracted for a 4 mol% solution of 2-methylthiobenzaldehyde in CCl4 at 305 K. The long-range spin–spin coupling constants involving the aldehydic and methyl protons are consistent only with a preferred conformation in which all heavy atoms are coplanar, as are the chemical shifts of the ring and methyl protons. This conclusion contradicts previous interpretations of the dipole moment, the nmr parameters, and of the infrared data for CCl4 solutions. The present data show that the O-syn and O-anti forms of the compound are present in roughly equal proportions.

Variations of the metal chemical shifts δ(51V), δ(55Mn) and δ(93Nb) with the paramagnetic deshielding contribution to the overall shielding are discussed in terms of influences imposed by the ligand field splitting, the nephelauxetic effect and the covalency of the metal-to-ligand bond. Complexes under investigation are isoelectronic and/or iso-structural series [M(CO)6-nLn]q (M = V, Nb: q = -1; M = Mn: q = + 1; n = 0-6), η5-C5H5M(CO)4-nLn (M = V, Nb; n = 0-4) and η5-C5H5M(L')2L (M = V, L' = NO; M = Mn, L' = CO). L is a monodentate or l/n oligodentate phosphine. η varies with the point symmetry of the complex, and with ligand parameters of primarily electronic or steric origin. Generally, for weak to medium π-interaction, there is a decrease of shielding with decreasing π-acceptor power of the ligand, increasing ligand bulkiness, increasing ring strains in chelate structures and increasing degree of substitution. For strong π-interaction, the trends may be interconverted. PF3 is shown to be a slightly weaker π-acceptor than CO. Selected results on nuclear-spin spin coupling constants, 13C and 31P shielding are also presented

The 1H, 19F, and 13C {H} nuclear magnetic resonance spectra at 300 K of 4-fluoro- and 3,5-difluorobenzyl fluoride, dissolved in CS2–C6D12 and acetone-d6, are fully analyzed. Spin–spin coupling constants over four, five, and six formal bonds are used to derive expectation values of sin2θ and [Formula: see text] and the apparent twofold internal rotational potentials; [Formula: see text] is the angle by which the α C—F(C—H) bond twists out of the ring plane. The conformation of lowest energy has [Formula: see text] for the 3,5-difluoro compound in the polar and nonpolar solutions, whereas it has [Formula: see text] for the 4-fluoro derivative. The magnitudes of the potentials lie between 2 and 4 kJ/mol, that is, comparable to thermal energies. These data are compared with previous results for the parent compound and its 3,5-dichloro derivative. Geometry-optimized molecular orbital computations, including some correlation-gradient procedures, for benzyl fluoride and the two fluoro derivatives have [Formula: see text] for the conformations of highest energy of the free molecules. However, geometry-optimized SCFRF calculations of the solvent perturbations of the potential (dipole terms are insufficient) are in semiquantitative agreement with experiment in the sense that both solvents are predicted to destabilize the conformation with [Formula: see text] For example, the predominant twofold component in the computed (6-31G*) potential is 3.4 (free), −0.7 (CS2), and −3.3 (acetone-d6) kJ/mol for benzyl fluoride, a negative number indicating [Formula: see text] for the stable conformer; the experimental values are −0.8(2) (CS2) and −2.7(2) (acetone-d6) kJ/mol. The agreement between experiment and theory is of a similar quality for the fluoro derivatives. The stabilization of the conformer with [Formula: see text] for the 4-fluoro derivative is tentatively attributed to hyperconjugative electron acceptance by the α C—F bond, enhanced by the π-electron donor at the para position. A number of coupling constants are discussed in terms of the possible mechanisms of their transmission. Future experiments are indicated. Keywords: 1H, 19F, 13C NMR of 4-fluorobenzyl fluoride and 3,5-difluorobenzyl fluoride; MO calculations and internal rotational potentials in benzyl fluoride, 3,5-difluorobenzyl fluoride, and 4-fluorobenzyl fluoride; solvent effects and experimental and theoretical approaches to internal rotational potentials in 3,5-difluorobenzyl fluoride and 4-fluorobenzyl fluoride.
