The study of the NMR spectra of thiophenes has attracted considerable interest, 22,24-3sb partly because the spectra of substituted thiophenes containing only a few ring hydrogens are quite suitable for complete analysis and partly because in a series of related compounds the chemical shifts observed are related to differences in the electron distribution about chemically nonequivalent hydrogens (for review, see reference 39), especially for hydrogens far removed from the substituent. 

Confirmation of the linear arrangement came by physical techniques, especially electron diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. Later the nonequivalence of the nitrogen atoms in diazoaeetic ester was shown by means of labeling. ... 

The information derived from 13C NMR spectroscopy is extraordinarily useful foT structure determination. Not only can we count the number of nonequivalent carbon atoms in a molecule, we can also get information about the electronic environment of each carbon and can even find how many protons each is attached to. As a result, we can answer many structural questions that go unanswered by TR spectroscopy or mass spectrometry. 

The nonequivalent n orbital extension or the higher electron density in the exo face pyramidizes the unsaturated carbons The -H bonds are bent in the endo face. 

Mataka and coworkers reported the studies of the Diels-Alder reactions of [3.3] orthoanthracenophanes 96 and 97, of which anthraceno unit, the potential diene, has two nonequivalent faces, inside and outside. The reactions of 96 with dien-ophiles gave the mixtures of inside and outside adducts with the ratios between 1 1 and 1 1.5. However, the ratio changes drastically, in favor of the inside adducts, when 97 reacts with dienophiles such as maleic anhydride, maleimide and naphto-quinone [55] (Scheme 46). Mataka suggested that the Jt-facial selectivity is controlled by an orbital interaction between the electron-poor dienophiles and the Jt-orbital of the facing aromatics, which would lead to a stabilization of the transition state, while Nishio suggested that the selectivity is due to the attractive k/k or CH/jt interaction [53]. 

With a steric number of 5, chlorine has trigonal bipyramidal electron group geomehy. This means the inner atom requires five directional orbitals, which are provided hymsp d hybrid set. Fluorine uses its valence 2 p orbitals to form bonds by overlapping with the hybrid orbitals on the chlorine atom. Remember that the trigonal bipyramid has nonequivalent axial and equatorial sites. As we describe in Chapter 9, lone pairs always occupy equatorial positions. See the orbital overlap view on the next page. 

There are some unique structural aspects of some of the sulfur fluorides that will need to be discussed in order to understand the 19F NMR spectra. The geometry of tetracoordinate group VI compounds is predicted on the basis of Gillespie s electron-pair repulsion theory to be trigonal bipyramid, with an electron pair occupying one of the equatorial sites.2 Thus, the SF3 substituent as well as the molecule SF4 have structures as depicted in Scheme 7.12, with nonequivalent (axial and equatorial) fluorines, and thus their 19F NMR spectra consist of two 19F signals, with the fluorines being coupled if the system is scrupulously dry. 

The nonequivalence in the size and shape of bonding and nonbonding electron pair domains can alternatively be expressed in terms of the relative magnitude of their mutual Pauli repulsions, which decrease in the following order ... 

The VSEPR model was originally expressed in these terms, but because Pauli repulsions are not real forces and should not be confused with electrostatic forces, it is preferable to express the nonequivalence of electron pairs of different kinds in terms of the size and shape of their domains, as we have done in this chapter. 

Superoxide ions, 02, are readily formed by the transfer of electrons from Fs centers on MgO or from Mo(V) on Mo/Si02 to molecular oxygen (7, 9). The value of g3 for 02 is particularly sensitive to the crystal field gradient at the surface and thus varies from one metal oxide to another (10). In fact, the spectrum of 01 on MgO indicates that the ions are held at four distinctly different sites (11,12). The oxygen-17 hyperfine splitting (Table I) for 170170- on MgO confirms that both oxygen atoms are equivalent, on supported molybdenum the atoms are nonequivalent, suggesting a peroxy-type bond to the metal (7,13). 

Another frequently encountered problem is that of the solute that contains more than one possible site of secondary interaction. In such cases, one Bj generally dominates the other, and its incorrect identification often leads to incorrect configurational assignment to the solute. Acyclic sulfinate esters, for example, have two potential sites that could serve as B2, the electron pair on sulfur and the alkoxy oxygen. The nonequivalence predictions one would make in choosing either as B2 are different. Solvates 12 and 13 are the two possible solvation modes for t-butyl (/ )-methanesulfinate and an (5 )-carbinol (1). Principal operation of model 12 predicts a highfield... 

As the valence electrons s and p are not equivalent to one another, a molecule that is nonsymmetrical and energetically disadvantaged would result if the electrons fill their nonequivalent orbitals. Hence, one of the 2s electrons is promoted to the 2p level, which results in four half-filled atomic orbitals. The s orbital combines... 

Experimental data from 17 electron diffraction and 13 microwave spectroscopic measurements have been used in establishing this relationship, and the C-C-C bond angles ranged from 50.8° to 116.6°. One of its applications is in the structure analysis of molecules with nonequivalent methylene groups.
