Notes:
It is shown that sterically unperturbed vicinal HH coupling constants in planar 7-membered π-systems correlate linearly with the HMO π-bond order: 3J(HH) = 20.91Pμ,ν-3.85 (r.m.s. error 0.26 Hz, correlation coefficient =0.988). Systematic deviations from this relationship which most probably originate from valence angle changes are found for fused π-systems containing rings of different size. Model calculations using the CNDO/2 method as well as finite perturbation theory and INDO wave functions support the experimental findings. An improvement of existing 3J(HH)—Pμ,ν correlations for planar 6-membered rings is possible if CNDO/2 π-bond orders are used instead of HMO or PPP-SCF data.
