Elektronendichte und chemische Verschiebung der Styryldiazin- und Diazaphenanthrenprotonen / Electrondensity and Proton Chemical Shift of Styryldiazines and Diazaphenanthrenes

Abstract

Abstract Proton chemical shifts in styryldiazines and diazaphenanthrenes linearly correlate with SCF-π-electron densities of the attached carbon atom and with the electron densities of the hydrogen atom (calculated by the CNDO/2 method). The observed deviations from linearity are discussed in terms of ring current effect, steric effects and the paramagnetic effect of the nitrogen lone pair electrons. An appreciable weakening of ring current is found for diazaphenanthrenes with two adjacent N-atoms. Under the same condition the paramagnetic effect on ortho-hydrogens is increased.
