Abstract

The intramolecular CF center dot center dot center dot HX. (X = O or S) H-bond and J(FH) spin-spin coupling constants (SSCCs) in 2-fluorophenol and 2-fluorothiophenol were investigated experimentally by H-1 and F-19 NMR and theoretically in the framework of the natural bond orbital analysis. In contrast with recent findings from the literature, the results obtained in this work showed that an intramolecular H-bond is formed in the cis conformers and that it has an electrostatic origin. Such an intramolecular electrostatic H-bond is the interaction that rules the conformational preferences on these compounds. Moreover, the natural J-coupling analysis indicated that the J(HF) SSCC in 2-fluorophenol has its origin on LP(F)/sigma(OH) steric interactions and should be labeled as (4TS)J(HF). On the other hand, the analogue SSCC for 2-fluorothiophenol has its origin on the intramolecular H-bond LP(F) -> sigma(SH){*} hyperconjugative interaction and should be described as a (1h)J(FH) SSCC.
