Summary The structural and electronic properties of fluorinated 1-N-arylamino-1-arylmethanephosphonic acid esters were studied and related to the inhibitory effects on NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I). Electrostatic potential surfaces, dipole moments and molecular geometries were analysed. Based on the conformational analysis and the electronic parameters, a simple model for the active site of the fluorinated 1-N-arylamino-1-arylmethanephosphonic acid esters was developed, explaining the inhibitory power. The strongest inhibition effects were found for the 1-(N-4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)-amino-1-phenylmethanephosphonic acid diethyl ester 1bab.
