RESUMO
Infinite dilution (29)Si and (13)C NMR chemical shifts were determined from concentration dependencies of the shifts in dilute chloroform and acetone solutions of para substituted O-silylated phenols, 4-R-C6 H4 -O-SiR'2 Râ³ (R = Me, MeO, H, F, Cl, NMe2, NH2, and CF3), where the silyl part included groups of different sizes: dimethylsilyl (R' = Me, Râ³ = H), trimethylsilyl (R' = Râ³ = Me), tert-butyldimethylsilyl (R' = Me, Râ³ = CMe3), and tert-butyldiphenylsilyl (R' = C6 H5, Râ³ = CMe3). Dependencies of silicon and C-1 carbon chemical shifts on Hammett substituent constants are discussed. It is shown that the substituent sensitivity of these chemical shifts is reduced by association with chloroform, the reduction being proportional to the solvent accessible surface of the oxygen atom in the Si-O-C link.
RESUMO
29Si-13C couplings were measured in para substituted silylated phenols, X--C6H4--O--SiR1R2R3 (X = NO2, CF3, Cl, F, H, CH3, CH3O). The SiR1R2R3 silyl groups included trimethylsilyl (Si(CH3)3, TMS), tert-butyldimethylsilyl (Si(CH3)2C(CH3)3, TBDMS), dimethylsilyl (SiH(CH3)2, DMS), and tert- butyldiphenylsilyl (Si(C6H5)2C(CH3)3, TBDPS). Previously developed (Si,C,Si)gHMQC methods and narrow 29Si lines allowed the determination of coupling constants over up to five bonds. Besides the number of intervening bonds between the silicon and carbon atoms, all the measurable couplings depend also on the nature of the substituents on the silicon. The two- and three-bond couplings are not affected by ring substitution in the para position. These properties render the 29Si-13C couplings suitable for line assignment in the spectra of silylated polyphenols. The experimental results are in reasonable agreement with theoretical calculations. The calculations show, in agreement with the data reported in the literature for couplings between other nuclei, that the two-bond and three-bond couplings, which are of similar magnitudes, are of opposite signs. If the signs of these geminal and vicinal couplings could be determined experimentally, they would greatly facilitate the line assignment. The four- and five-bond couplings are affected by the substituent X in a nontrivial manner.
RESUMO
It is demonstrated using a practical example that indirect detection of (29)Si NMR signals is sufficiently sensitive in LC-NMR stop-flow arrangement to analyze mixtures of siloxane polymers. New cryogenic probes with better signal-to-noise ratio will turn this version of LC-NMR into a routine method for analysis of siloxane polymers.
