Four-electron atoms resonance spectrum

The complex is dimeric and has a chlorine-bridged structure in which each tetramethylcyclobutadiene molecule is bound to a nickel atom by its four 7r-electrons (71). The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the complex... 

The first spectral study of galactose oxidase was the report of the electron spin resonance spectrum by Blumberg et al. (19). More recently, Cleveland et al. (20) reported a further ESR study which was based on a computer fit to the spectrum. They concluded that four nitrogens were bound to the Cu(II) atom. 

The compound we use as a reference sample is usually tetramethylsilane, TMS. This is silane (SiH with each of the hydrogen atoms replaced by methyl groups to give Si(CH3)4- The four carbon atoms attached to silicon are all equivalent and, because silicon is more electropositive than carbon, are fairly electron-rich (or shielded), which means they resonate at a frequency a little less than that of most organic compounds. This is useful because it means our reference sample is not bang in the middle of our spectrum ... 

This SF6-acetylene can also be obtained in —50% yield by dehydrobro-mination of SF5CH=CHBr (135). The gas-phase electron diffraction structure of SF5C=CH is reported (136). In the H NMR spectrum, the acetylenic proton resonates at a more shielded position and appears as a pentet with JF H = 3 Hz (134). This suggests that it couples significantly only with the four equatorial S-F atoms and not the axial S-F atom. Of particular interest are comparative 19F NMR spectral studies of F5SC=CH and other saturated hydrocarbons/fluorocarbons containing the SF5 group (137). 

The structure of the cation IFj is similar—removal of one electron from IFj converts a lone electron pair into an unpaired electron. There will be less repulsion between a lone electron and bonding electron pairs in I-F bonds but the arrangement of atoms would remain square pyramidal. Thus, the F-NMR spectrum of IFs" contains two resonances—one is doublet for four basal F atoms coupled to the axial F, and another one is quintet for the axial F atom coupled to the four basal F atoms. 

Pyrrole is a five-membered aromatic heterocycle containing six n electrons. Five important resonance hybrid structures distribute the 7C-electron pair of the nitrogen atom over the four carbon atoms, and the dipole moment of pyrrole (1.84 daltons similar to water) in the gas phase is directed in a way to make the nitrogen atom the positive end of the dipole. Pyrrole carbon atoms are therefore extraordinarily rich in electrons (Gossauer, 1984). The H-NMR spectrum is of the expected AB type (Figure 6.2.1) the chemical shifts are similar to the ones of benzene.
