The principal values of the 13C chemical-shift tensors of natural abundance biphenylene were measured at room temperature with the FIREMAT experiment. Of 18 crystallographically distinct positions (three sets of six congruent carbons each), the three primary bands have been resolved into seven single peaks and four degenerate peaks (two double, one triple, and one quadruple). Hence, eleven diff...

Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR) spectroscopy has been used to assign 13C spectra of the tricyclic antidepressants imipramine and chlorimipramine . The 2DINADEQUATE method was used to unambiguously assign the aromatic spectral region for the former compound. Errors in previous literature assignments based on 1D methods were corrected. For chlorimipramine the pitfalls of class...

The olefinic carbon chemical shift tensors of trans-stilbene-R,â-C2 (1) and (trans-stilbene-R,â-C2)[bis(triphenylphosphine)]platinum(0) (2) have been characterized by solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy. Analyses of the 13C NMR spectra obtained for stationary powder samples of 1 and 2 at 4.7 and 9.4 T yield the principal components of the carbon chemical shift tensors. The presence of a homonuclea...

Metallacyclobutanes are an important class of organometallic intermediates, due to their role in olefin metathesis. They can have either planar or puckered rings associated with characteristic chemical and physical properties. Metathesis active metallacyclobutanes have short M-Cα/α' and M···Cβ distances, long Cα/α'-Cβ bond length, and isotropic 13C chemical shifts for both early d0 and late d4 ...

Chemical shifts of backbone atoms in proteins are exquisitely sensitive to local conformation, and homologous proteins show quite similar patterns of secondary chemical shifts. The inverse of this relation is used to search a database for triplets of adjacent residues with secondary chemical shifts and sequence similarity which provide the best match to the query triplet of interest. The databa...

The 13C NMR chemical shift of sp3 carbon atoms situated in the R position relative to the double bond in acyclic alkenes was estimated with multilayer feedforward artificial neural networks (ANNs) and multilinear regression (MLR), using as structural descriptors a topo-stereochemical code which characterizes the environment of the resonating carbon atom. The predictive ability of the two models...

Proton-observed carbon-edited (POCE) NMR spectroscopy is commonly used to measure 13C labeling with higher sensitivity compared to direct 13C NMR spectroscopy, at the expense of spectral resolution. For weakly coupled first-order spin systems, the multiplet signal at a specific proton chemical shift in POCE spectra directly reflects 13C enrichment of the carbon attached to this proton. The pres...
