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.
Multinuclear dynamic NMR spectroscopy of 5-trifluoromethylsulfonyl-1,3,5-dioxaazinane (4) revealed the existence of two close in energy chair conformers with differently oriented CF3 groups with respect to the ring. Of the two alternative routes for their interconversion, the ring inversion path with intermediate formation of the corresponding 2,5-twist-conformer is preferred, with the energy barrier of 11.2 kcal/mol in excellent agreement with the experimental value (11.7 kcal/mol). The Perlin effect is studied experimentally and calculated theoretically for all CH2 groups and found to be subject to the nature of the adjacent heteroatoms O and N, respectively.
The through space NMR shielding (TSNMRS) values of two tricyclobutabenzene (TCBB) derivatives 2, of the corresponding hexamethylene and hexaoxo TCBB derivatives 3, of [4n]annuleno[4n + 2]annulene 5 and of its tricyclobutadiene parent compound 4 have been ab initio calculated by the GIAO perturbation method employing the nucleus- independent chemical shift (NICS) concept of Paul von Ragué Schleyer, and visualized as iso-chemical shielding surfaces (ICSS). TSNMRS values can be successfully employed to quantify and visualize the aromaticity of the central, and in 5 also of the terminal benzene ring moieties.
The cyclizations of tetrahydroisoquinoline 1,2-amino alcohols with phenylphosphonic dichloride, bis(2- chloroethyl)phosphoramidic dichloride, thionyl chloride and sulfuryl chloride were utilized to synthesize 1,5,6,10b- tetrahydro-1,3,2-oxazaphospholo[4,3-a]isoquinolines (2, 3), 1,5,10,10a-tetrahydro-1,3,2-oxazaphospholo[3,4- b]isoquinolines (8, 9), 1,5,6,10b-tetrahydro-1,2,3-oxathiazolo[4,3-a]isoquinolines (4-6) anda 1,5,10,10a-tetrahydro- 1,2,3-oxathiazolo[3,4-b]isoquinoline (11), which are the first representatives of these ring systems. NMR spectroscopic analysis revealed the existence of conformational equilibria that are fast on the NMR timescale. Theoretical DFT calculations pointed to the participation of generally two preferred conformers in the conformational equilibria; the positions of the equilibria were indicated by the experimental NMR spectroscopic parameters, and they are in good agreement with the theoretically calculated energy differences of the participating conformers. For two compounds, which could be not isolated (10, 12), both the preferred conformers and the stereochemistry could be concluded from the DFT calculation results.
Through the cyclization of 1-(;-hydroxynaphthyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and 1-(;- hydroxynaphthyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline with formaldehyde, phosgene, p-nitrobenzaldehyde or p-chlorophenyl isothiocyanate, 8-substituted 10,11-dihydro-8H,15bH-naphth[1,2-e][1,3]oxazino[4,3-a]isoquinolines (3 and 4) and 10,11- dihydro-8H,15bH-naphth[2,1-e][1,3]oxazino[4,3-a]isoquinolines (15 and 16) were prepared. Conformational analysis of both the piperidine and the 1,3-oxazine moieties of these heterocycles by NMR spectroscopy and an accompanying theoretical study revealed that these two conformationally flexible six-membered ring moieties prefer twisted chair conformers.
The through space NMR shielding (TSNMRS) values of adamantane, the 2(N + 1)2 spherical (4c, 2e) homoaromatic compounds 1,3-dehydro-5,7-adamantandiyl dication (C10H122+) and 1,3-dehydro-5,7-cubandiyl dication (C8H42+), and the (6c, 8e) homoaromatic compound 2,2;,4,4;,6,6;,8,8;,10,10;-dehydroadamantane tetracation (C10H44+) have been ab initio calculated, employing the NICS concept, and visualized as iso-chemical shielding surfaces (ICSSs). TSNMRS values can be successfully employed to study both the endohedral and exohedral aromaticity/ antiaromaticity of the compounds studied.
The push-pull character of a series of para-phenyl substituted isophorone chromophores has been quantified by the 13C chemical shift difference of the three conjugated partial C=C double bonds and the quotient of the occupations of both the bonding and anti-bonding orbitals of these C=C double bonds as well. The correlations of the two push-pull quantifying parameters, and to the corresponding bond lengths, strongly recommend ;*c=c/ ;c=c as the general parameter to estimate charge alternation and as a very useful indication of the molecular hyperpolarizabilities for NLO application of the compounds studied.
The Push-pull character of two series of donor-acceptor triazenes has been quantified by C-13 and N-15 chemical shift differences of the partial N(1)=N(2) and N(3)=C(4) double bonds in the central linking C=N-N=N-C unit and by the quotient of the occupations of both the bonding pi and antibonding orbitals pi* of these partial double bonds. Excellent correlations of the two estimates, to quantify the push-pull effect, with the bond lengths strongly recommend the occupation quotients pi*/pi, the N-15 chemical shift differences Delta delta[N(l),N(2)], and the corresponding bond lengths as reasonable sensors for quantifying charge alternation along the C=N-N=N-C linking unit, for the donor- acceptor quality of the triazenes 1 and 2 and for the molecular hyperpolarizability beta(0) of these compounds. Within this context, certain Substances can be strongly recommended for NLO application.
Tria-, penta-, hepta- and nonafulvenes (1-4) have been studied theoretically at the MP2 ab initio level of theory. For the global minimum structures, the occupation of the bonding ;C=C orbital of the exocyclic C=C double bond, obtained by NBO analysis, quantitatively proves ;-electron delocalization which can reveal partial 2-, 6- and 10-;-electron aromaticity, and 4-, 8- and 12-;-electron antiaromaticity of the ring moieties. Beside the corresponding occupation number, this conjugation was quantified by the length of the exocyclic C=C double bond whilst the (anti)aromaticity of the ring moieties of 1-4 was visualized and quantified by through space NMR shielding surfaces (TSNMRS).
Quantification of the (Anti)Aromaticity of Fulvalenes Subjected to -Electron Cross-Delocalization
(2008)
Fulvalenes 3-12 were theoretically studied at the ab initio level of theory. For the global minima structures, the occupation of the bonding (pi)C=C orbital of the interring C=C double bond obtained by NBO analysis quantitatively proves pi-electron cross-delocalization resulting in, at least partially, 2- or 6pi-electron aromaticity and 8pi- electron antiaromaticity for appropriate moieties. The cross-conjugation was quantified by the corresponding occupation numbers and lengths of the interring C=C double bonds, while the aromaticity or antiaromaticity due to cross- delocalization of the pi-electrons was visualized and quantified by through-space NMR shielding surfaces.
