The N-16 chemical shifts and a large collection of coupling constants
pertaining to azoles have been gathered from the literature. To comple
te this collection and to check some anomalies, the spectra of 14 comp
ounds in several solvents were recorded again and 31 compounds were st
udied for the first time; in all, data for 420 compounds (pyrroles, im
idazoles, pyrazoles, triazoles, tetrazoles, indoles, benzimidazoles, i
ndazoles, benzotriazoles and carbazoles) are reported. Additive models
are used to discuss the substituent chemical shifts.
