There are other important properties tliat can be measured from microwave and radiofrequency spectra of complexes. In particular, tire dipole moments and nuclear quadmpole coupling constants of complexes may contain useful infonnation on tire stmcture or potential energy surface. This is most easily seen in tire case of tire dipole moment. The dipole moment of tire complex is a vector, which may have components along all tire principal inertial axes. 

Experimental confirmation of the metal-nitrogen coordination of thiazole complexes was recently given by Pannell et al. (472), who studied the Cr(0), Mo(0), and W(0) pentacarbonyl complexes of thiazole (Th)M(CO)5. The infrared spectra are quite similar to those of the pyridine analogs the H-NMR resonance associated with 2- and 4-protons are sharper and possess fine structure, in contrast to the broad, featureless resonances of free thiazole ligands. This is expected since removal of electron density from nitrogen upon coordination reduces the N quad-rupole coupling constant that is responsible for the line broadening of the a protons. 

Application of NMR spectroscopy to heterocyclic chemistry has developed very rapidly during the past 15 years, and the technique is now used almost as routinely as H NMR spectroscopy. There are four main areas of application of interest to the heterocyclic chemist (i) elucidation of structure, where the method can be particularly valuable for complex natural products such as alkaloids and carbohydrate antibiotics (ii) stereochemical studies, especially conformational analysis of saturated heterocyclic systems (iii) the correlation of various theoretical aspects of structure and electronic distribution with chemical shifts, coupling constants and other NMR derived parameters and (iv) the unravelling of biosynthetic pathways to natural products, where, in contrast to related studies with " C-labelled precursors, stepwise degradation of the secondary metabolite is usually unnecessary. 

It is now generally realized that the angular dependence of vicinal coupling constants is considerably mare complex than was at first appreciated (24, 38, 39) and that care must be exercised in utilizing... 

Because coupling is a reciprocal interaction between two adjacent groups of protons, it s sometimes possible to tell which multiplets in a complex NMR spectrum are related to each other. If two multiplets have the same coupling constant, they are probably related, and the protons causing those multiplets are therefore adjacent in the molecule. 

A seminal paper [155] examined platinum-phosphorus NMR coupling constants in a series of cis- and trans-platinum(II and IV) complexes. The trans-influence had hitherto been explained in terms of d7r-p7r bonding, in other words, such a mechanism dominated with trans-effect...

Support for this view is found in the I95Pt-15N coupling constants for dodecylamine complexes of platinum(II) and platinum(IV), where 7r-bonding cannot of course occur, which exhibit similar trends (Table 3.24) [156]. 

From the invariance of the coupling constant 2J(SiP) between HMPA-P and Si over a wide temperature range (compounds 4-7, 9-11) a rigid coordination of the HMPA to silicon can be deduced. Only in the case of the methyl complex 6 above 25 °C is the beginning of exchange of HMPA observed. However, a fast exchange of the coordinated acetonitrile at room temperature has been found for 12.
