Z. Markovic et al., THE DEPENDENCE OF VICINAL PROTON-PROTON COUPLING-CONSTANTS OF NORBORNENES ON MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. A, A journal of physical sciences, 51(9), 1996, pp. 1042-1044
A modification of the Karplus equation, containing four mutually indep
endent structural terms and five adjustable parameters, is put forward
. The new structural factor, introduced into this modification is sin
(theta(1) + theta(2))/2. The new equation reproduces experimental NMR
vicinal coupling constants of norbornenes with a standard deviation of
about 0.45 Hz.
