The TSNMRS values were employed to visualize and quantify the dia(para) magnetic ring current effects in the studied compounds. The interplay of dia(para)magnetic ring current effects due to substitution/annelation caused by heavy exo-cyclic n,pi-electron delocalization can be qualified.}, language = {en} } @article{HansenKochKleinpeter2018, author = {Hansen, Poul Erik and Koch, Andreas and Kleinpeter, Erich}, title = {Ring current and anisotropy effects on OH chemical shifts in resonance-assisted intramolecular H-bonds}, series = {Tetrahedron letters}, volume = {59}, journal = {Tetrahedron letters}, number = {23}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0040-4039}, doi = {10.1016/j.tetlet.2018.05.006}, pages = {2288 -- 2292}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Ring current effects on resonance-assisted and intramolecularly bridged hydrogen bond protons for 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline 1 and a number of related compounds were calculated and the through-space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS) obtained hereby visualized as iso-chemical-shielding surfaces (ICSS) of various size and direction. These calculations revealed that this through-space effect is comparably large (up to 2 ppm) dependent on the position of the intramolecularly bridged OH proton, and therefore, contribute considerably to the chemical shift of the latter making it questionable to use delta(OH)/ppm in the estimation of intramolecular hydrogen bond strength without taking this into account. Furthermore, the anisotropy effects of additional groups on the aromatic moiety (e.g. the carbonyl group in salicylaldehyde or in o-hydroxyacetophenone of ca. 0.6 ppm deshielding) should also be considered. These through-space effects need to be taken into account when using OH chemical shifts to estimate hydrogen bond strength.}, language = {en} } @article{KleinpeterKoch2018, author = {Kleinpeter, Erich and Koch, Andreas}, title = {Stable Carbenes or Betaines?}, series = {European journal of organic chemistry}, volume = {2018}, journal = {European journal of organic chemistry}, number = {24}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1434-193X}, doi = {10.1002/ejoc.201800462}, pages = {3114 -- 3121}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The anisotropy effect in H-1 NMR spectroscopy can be readily employed to indicate the position of carbene/betaine mesomeric equilibria. NR2 substituted carbene/betaines tend to adopt betaine structures, whereas in the absence of NR2 substituents, the betaine structures cannot stabilise the structure through both -donation effects of the NMe2 groups and the electronegativity of the nitrogen atoms, and the corresponding carbene-like structures are preferred. These conclusions are supported by calculated bond orders and (C-13)/ppm values. The spatial magnetic properties of isonitriles and carbon monoxide, which can be counted as stable carbenes or, at least, as carbene-analogues, also exist as stable betaine structures, which is again supported by structural and magnetic properties.}, language = {en} }
