NCS-NBO analysis was employed to probe contributions of bond orbitals and orbitals of lone pairs to nuclear shielding in conformers of the alcohol generated by rotation of the C-O bond. Variations in H-1 and C-13 chemical shifts with the dihedral angle are discussed in terms of Lewis and non-Lewis partitioning and their respective importance is evaluated. In addition to hyperconjugation of the lone pair in a p orbital of oxygen that was previously reported, a sizable participation of the lone pair which is in an sp orbital is also observed and their combined effect dominates the carbon chemical shifts of the C-1-C-2-OH and C-3-C-2-OH fragments. Both lone pairs on oxygen also contribute to localized, though-space effects on nuclei in the vicinity, these effects answering for the largest deviations in hydrogen chemical shifts on rotation around the C-O bond. On the other hand, for conformers in which nonbonded repulsions lead to distortions in the molecular framework, variations in chemical shifts may be attributed to angular effects}, language = {en} } @article{KleinpeterKochSeidl2008, author = {Kleinpeter, Erich and Koch, Andreas and Seidl, Peter R.}, title = {Visualization and quantification of the anisotropic effect of C=C double bonds on 1H NMR spectra of highly congested hydrocarbons-indirect estimates of steric strain}, doi = {10.1021/Jp801063t}, year = {2008}, abstract = {The anisotropic effect of the olefinic C=C double bond has been calculated by employing the NICS (nucleus independent chemical shift) concept and visualized as an anisotropic cone by a through space NMR shielding grid. Sign and size of this spatial effect on 1H chemical shifts of protons in norbornene, exo- and endo-2-methylnorbornenes, and in three highly congested tetracyclic norbornene analogs have been compared with the experimental 1H NMR spectra as far as published. 1H NMR spectra have also been calculated at the HF/6-31G* level of theory to get a full, comparable set of proton chemical shifts. Differences between ;(1H)/ppm and the calculated anisotropic effect of the C=C double bond are discussed in terms of the steric compression that occurs in the compounds studied.}, language = {en} }
