Field resonance

C NMR The C NMR spectra of carboxylic acid derivatives like the spectra of carboxylic acids themselves are characterized by a low field resonance for the carbonyl... 

The effects of structure on reactivity can be divided into three major types field, resonance (or mesomeric), and steric. In most cases two or all three of these are operating, and it is usually not easy to tell how much of the rate enhancement (or decrease) is caused by each of the three effects. 

Hill et al. (127) reported the first proton magnetic resonance work on a series of cobalamins. This work was carried out at 60 MHz and the spectra are, therefore, of quite low resolution. Subsequently, this work was extended to a wider variety of molecules and also spectra were recorded at 100 MHz (128). Five low field resonances and those of the metal alkyl groups were assigned. Some representative chemical shifts for the low field resonances are shown in Table 1. 

In addition to these low field resonances the chemical shift of the coordinated methyl group falls at —0.19 and the methyl portion of the coordinated ethyl group has a chemical shift of —0.61. By comparing these numbers with the chemical shifts of the ethyl protons in the analogous ethyl porphyrin derivative (129), in which the resonance positions are all above —5, it has been concluded that there is little or no ring current in the corrin ligand system.

That the [19]annulenone 136 is diatropic is evident from the high field resonance of H13 compared to the adjacent external protons Ht2 and H14, and to all the olefinic protons of the homoannulene 137. Further evidence is the significantly lower field resonance of H3, H4, H17, and Hlg when compared with the similar protons H3 and H4 of the atropic ketones 143,144, and 145 (see below). 

The very low field resonances of the internal protons may indicate that 140 is paratropic but in the absence of more concrete data no firm conclusions were drawn. Reduction of the annulenone 139 with lithium aluminium hydride-aluminium chloride gave the homoannulene 141. 

No simple rationalization for the observed values of the 19F resonances could be made for the peracetylated 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-gIuco-and -manno-pyranosyl fluorides, apart from the fact that the anomeric fluorine substituent always gives the lower field-resonance of the two198 this should, however, be compared with the explanation described287 (see later in this Section) for the observed differences in 19F... 

Thus if about 5% of TMS is added to a sample and the complete NMR spectrum produced, the sharp high field resonance of the TMS is easily recognised and can be used as a standard from which to calibrate the spectrum and to measure the chemical shift positions of other molecular groupings. 

The C =C+ unit of vinyl cations 8-10 is readily identified by the low-field resonance of the positively charged C+ carbon atom at SnC = 178.1 - 189.2 and...

Taft and Topsom s article151 and also Topsom s171 should be consulted for details of the setting up of the scales of substituent parameters. The equation has been applied to a wide range of gas-phase reactivities. (In the multiple regressions an intercept term is often permitted, but usually this turns out to be indistinguishable from zero, as it should be if equation 20 is valid.) For aliphatic and alicyclic saturated systems the resonance term is duly negligible. The roles of field, resonance and polarizability effects are discussed and the interpretat of the various p values is attempted.

In 1,1,2,2-tetrachlorethane solution, the spectra of thianthrene and trans-thianthrene 5,10-dioxide are temperature independent for the cis-isomer, the lower-field resonance shifts further downfield with increasing temperature while the signals for 2-, 3-, 7-, and 8- protons remain constant over a 200° range. In chloroform, small, apparant temperature-dependent shifts for thianthrene, at all positions, were attributed to temperature-dependent shifts of the reference solvent signal. Using this, it was shown... 

The potential of x( Li) for structural studies is further demonstrated by results obtained for dianions of substituted ethenes. Reduction of (Z)-l,2-bis(trhnethylsilyl)-l -phenylethene with lithium in THF led to the formation of a dimer which in solution shows two distinct Li resonances at 0.37 and —1.20 ppm relative to 0.1 M LiBr. The strucmre derived from NMR studies in THF solution (39, Scheme 7) contains one lithium cation in close contact to the organic moiety and the other one, at high field, at a larger distance and presumably surrounded by solvent molecules. In the solid, two Li resonances separated by 1.85 ppm are found, which yield x( Li) values of 180 and 30 kHz for the low- and high-field MAS sideband pattern, respectively, thus supporting the CIP structural motif for the lithium cation that gives rise to the low-field resonance and fhe SSIP sfrucmral motif for that which resonates at higher field. 

Depending on the metal higher field resonances are observed for Re, W and Mo derivatives.
