Etude par résonance magnétique nucléaire de composés organiques contenant des chalcogènes. II. L'éther de diphényle et ses analogues soufré, sélénié et telluré

Abstract

The 1Hmr study of the title compounds has revealed a screw conformation, with defined interconversion processes, in good agreement with crystal structure determinations and theoretical calculations. The mesomeric effect of the heteroatom is smaller than in the anisole series, due to steric inhibitions.The 13Cmr enhances, to some extent, these conclusions. In the case of Te compounds, a heavy atom effect adds to the classical mesomeric and inductive effects to account for the experimental observations.
