The ligand orientations in the nonplanar porphyrin complexes 1a–e and 2a–e have been investigated using molecular mechanics calculations and proton NMR spectroscopy. The minimum energy structures calculated for complexes 1a–e show that the planes of the axial pyridine or imidazole ligands are orientated approximately parallel to the CoIII–Nporphyrin bonds, with the ligand ring planes being perpendicular to each other. For complexes 2a–e, the planes of the axial ligands in the calculated minimum energy structures are orientated along the porphyrin meso carbon axis and the ligand ring planes are perpendicular to each other. Thus, for both series of complexes the planes of the axial ligands are orientated parallel to cavities formed by these very nonplanar porphyrins. Proton NMR studies suggest that structures similar to those obtained from the molecular mechanics calculations are retained in solution. In some complexes, hindered rotation of the axial ligands is also observed. Complexes 1a–e and 2a–e are unusual examples of the porphyrin conformation influencing the orientations of axial ligands and, as such, may be useful as models for studying ligand orientation effects in relation to biological systems.

One hundred and fifty four lines have been detected in 120 000 and 50 000 scan 13C NMR spectra of main and tail HPLC fractions, respectively, of [84]fullerene. Five minor isomers are deduced to be present (in ca. 25% and 40% overall yields in the main and tail cuts, respectively), as well as the two main isomers [D2(IV) and D2d(II), which are present in a ratio of ca. 2.25∶1]. A second D2 isomer, which calculations predict to be D2(III), is firmly established as one of the components, and the other isomers are indicated to be: D3d, D6h, Cs(IV), and either Cs(V) or C2(IV). The relative proportions of the isomers differ according to the HPLC fraction, and a partial elution order (Cosmosil Buckyprep/toluene) is D3d/Cs(IV) < D2(III)/D6h. The IR spectrum of [84]fullerene does not correlate well with theoretical predictions.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of a series of 1,3-di-tert-butyl-1,3-diazacyclohexanes 6, and of 1,5-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes 7, have been investigated in an attempt to find evidence regarding a stereoelectronic interaction of the non-bonding electron pairs on nitrogen or of the C–N bonding electron pairs in the ring, with the axial and equatorial CH bonds of the α- or β-methylene groups. In 6, the orbital carrying the non-bonding electron pair lies antiperiplanar to the axial α-CH bond; a significant nN→σ*CH 3-orbital interaction (the anomeric effect) is sterically possible, and this shows up in the values of δH and of 1JCH. In 7, the doubly-occupied orbital is orientated gauche to both the axial and equatorial α-CH bonds, and no anomeric effect is apparent. In 7 however, in contrast to 6, the stereochemistry is appropriate for a W-plan nN→σ*CH 4-orbital interaction with the equatorial β-CH bond, and comparison of the NMR data of 6 and 7 suggests that such a homoanomeric effect may operate, though it is much weaker than in the analogous 1,3-dioxanes. No evidence could be found for a σCN→σ*CH 3-orbital interaction.

The stereoselectivity of the hydrosilane reduction of substituted di(1-adamantyl)benzyl cations obtained by the protonation of aryldi(1-adamantyl)methanols by trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in dichloromethane depends on both the hydrosilane and the substituent. Hydrosilanes react with meta-substituted (Me, But or CF3) phenyldi(1-adamantyl)methanols to give variable amounts of the anti and syn hydrocarbons, the variations being rather more pronounced for But (anti:syn = 0.7–23) than for Me (0.32–3.8) and CF3 (0.41–5.4). Almost all o-tolyldiadamantylmethanes give the anti isomer exclusively, as established by NMR spectroscopy and a single crystal X-ray diffraction study of the p-fluoro derivative. In the case of the [2-methyl-5-(tert-butyl)phenyl]diadamantylmethyl cation, however, the stereoselectivity and the rate of hydride transfer depend on the hydrosilane, the most encumbered giving hydrocarbon very slowly. Replacing the hydrosilane by sodium borohydride in these reactions results in untypical stereoselectivities. In particular, small yields of anti-(2-ethylphenyl)diadamantylmethane result from reduction of the corresponding alcohol, whereas normally only products with the syn conformation are obtained from this material.
