The ICSSs were applied to quantify and visualize the degree of aromaticity of the studied compounds, which has been shown to be in excellent correlation with the push-pull behavior, quantified by the quotient (pi*/pi) method. Dissection of the absolute magnetic shielding values into individual contributions of bonds and lone pairs by the natural chemical shielding-natural bond orbital (NCS-NBO) analysis has revealed unexpected details.}, language = {en} } @article{ShainyanKirpichenkoShlykovetal.2012, author = {Shainyan, Bagrat A. and Kirpichenko, Svetlana V. and Shlykov, Sergei A. and Keinpeter, Erich}, title = {Structure and conformational properties of 1,3,3-Trimethyl-1,3-Azasilinane gas electron diffraction, dynamic NMR, and theoretical study}, series = {The journal of physical chemistry : A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment \& general theory}, volume = {116}, journal = {The journal of physical chemistry : A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment \& general theory}, number = {1}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, address = {Washington}, issn = {1089-5639}, doi = {10.1021/jp2110852}, pages = {784 -- 789}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Structure and the conformational properties of 1,3,3-trimethyl-1,3-azasilinane have been studied. According to gas electron diffraction (GED), the molecule exists in a slightly distorted chair conformation with the N-Me group in equatorial position. High-level quantum chemical calculations excellently, reproduce the experimental geometry. Employing variable temperature H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy down to 103 K, the conformational equilibrium could be frozen and the barrier to ring inversion determined.}, language = {en} }
