Does the ipso-carbon chemical shift tell us anything about the structure of phenylated phosphorus compounds?

Abstract

The NMR signals exhibited by the ipso-carbon atoms of a variety of phenylated phosphorus compds., e.g., Ph5P, were found to span over the remarkably wide range of +162 to +117 ppm. Nevertheless, these changes in chem. shifts have little diagnostic value. They are tentatively attributed to a charge-mediated contraction and expansion of the C,P s-bond orbital on one hand and to a s-bond induced deformation of the arom. p-electron cloud on the other.

Molecular orbital

In chemistry, a molecular orbital (ɒrbədl) is a mathematical function describing the location and wave-like behavior of an electron in a molecule. This function can be used to calculate chemical and physical properties such as the probability of finding an electron in any specific region. The terms atomic orbital and molecular orbital were introduced by Robert S. Mulliken in 1932 to mean one-electron orbital wave functions. At an elementary level, they are used to describe the region of space in which a function has a significant amplitude.

Bonding molecular orbital

In theoretical chemistry, the bonding orbital is used in molecular orbital (MO) theory to describe the attractive interactions between the atomic orbitals of two or more atoms in a molecule. In MO theory, electrons are portrayed to move in waves. When more than one of these waves come close together, the in-phase combination of these waves produces an interaction that leads to a species that is greatly stabilized. The result of the waves’ constructive interference causes the density of the electrons to be found within the binding region, creating a stable bond between the two species.

Antibonding molecular orbital

In theoretical chemistry, an antibonding orbital is a type of molecular orbital that weakens the chemical bond between two atoms and helps to raise the energy of the molecule relative to the separated atoms. Such an orbital has one or more nodes in the bonding region between the nuclei. The density of the electrons in the orbital is concentrated outside the bonding region and acts to pull one nucleus away from the other and tends to cause mutual repulsion between the two atoms.
