  • Title: Analysis of isotope effects in NMR one-bond indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constants in terms of localized molecular orbitals.
    Author: Provasi PF, Sauer SP.
    Journal: Phys Chem Chem Phys; 2009 May 28; 11(20):3987-95. PubMed ID: 19440628.
    Abstract:
    We recently showed, by analyzing contributions from localized molecular orbitals, that the anomalous deuterium isotope effect in the one-bond indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constant of methane, also called the unexpected differential sensitivity, can be explained by the transfer of s-orbital character from the stretched bond to the other unchanged bonds [ChemPhysChem, 2008, 9, 1259]. We now extend this analysis of isotope effects to the molecules BH(4)(-), NH(4)(+), SiH(4), H(2)O and NH(3) in order to test our conclusions on a wider rage of XH(4) compounds and to investigate whether the lone-pair orbitals are really responsible for the absence of a similar effect in water and ammonia as proposed earlier [J. Chem. Phys., 2000, 113, 3121].
