Comparisons of 1H chemical shifts and charge densities (determined by CNDO/2 MO calculations) for 4-substituted derivatives of styrene, toluene, benzylchloride, and N,N,N-trimethylphenylammonium ion indicate that the chemical shifts primarily reflect intramolecular electronic effects. These effects are reflected by correlations of 1H chemical shifts with the F and R reactivity parameters of Swain and Lupton. It is concluded that it is valid to correlate substituent-induced chemical shifts for aromatic derivatives with divided reactivity parameters provided that (1) chemical shifts are measured at infinite dilution in a non-polar medium and (2) at least ten derivatives of each family are investigated.Calculations for 4-substituted toluenes indicate that there will be a small conformational dependence for substituent-induced benzylic proton chemical shifts.

Background: Nitro-derivatives of heterocyclic compounds were used as active agents against pathogenic microorganisms. A set of 4- and 5-nitroimidazole derivatives exhibiting antimicrobial activity was analyzed with the use of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) method. The study included compounds used both in documented treatment and those described as experimental. Objective: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the common and differentiating characteristics of the above-mentioned chemical compounds alike physicochemically as well as pharmacologically based on the quantum chemical calculations and microbiological activity data. Methods: During the study PCA and MLR analysis were performed, as the types of proposed chemometric approach. The semi-empirical and ab initio level of in silico molecular modeling was performed for calculations of molecular descriptors. Results: QSAR models were proposed based on chosen descriptors. The relationship between the nitro-derivatives structure and microbiological activity data was able to class and describe the antimicrobial activity with the use of statistically significant molecular descriptors. Conclusion: The applied chemometric approaches revealed the influential features of the tested structures responsible for the antimicrobial activity of studied nitro-derivatives.

The syntheses of new BEDT-TTF derivatives are described. These comprise BEDT-TTF with one ethynyl group (HC≡C-), with two (n-heptyl) or four (n-butyl) alkyl side chains, with two trans acetal (-CH(OMe)2) groups, with two trans aminomethyl (-CH2NH2) groups, and with an iminodiacetate (-CH2N(CH2CO2−)2 side chain. Three transition metal salts have been prepared from the latter donor, and their magnetic properties are reported. Three tris-donor systems are reported bearing three BEDT-TTF derivatives with ester links to a core derived from benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid. The stereochemistry and molecular structure of the donors are discussed. X-ray crystal structures of two BEDT-TTF donors are reported: one with two CH(OMe)2 groups and with one a -CH2N(CH2CO2Me)2 side chain.

Carbon-13 and proton chemical shifts have been measured for several monosubstituted isothiazoles. Substituent effects upon these chemical shifts are compared with those observed for monosubstituted benzenes, pyridines, and thiophenes. In general the observed substituent effects in the isothiazoles and thiophenes closely parallel one another. Correlations between the observed carbon-13 Chemical shifts and CNDO/2 calculated charge densities are examined.
