Abstract

The temperature dependence of, the nuclear spin-spin coupling constant over five formal bonds between the methyl protons and the 19F nucleus in 2-fluoroacetophenone and 2, 6- difluoroacetophenone, is modelled on the assumption that 5 J is a proximate coupling and that the STO 3G MO potential functions describe the population distributions of the rotamers defined by rotation about the exocyclic sp 2-sp 2 carbon-carbon bond. It is assumed that 5 ...
