Popis: The main aim of this work is to compare the transmission mechanisms for the Fermi contact term of spin-spin couplings, SSCCs, in series 1-X-bicyclo[1.1.1]-pentane, (1), and 1-X-3-methylbicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, (2), and from that comparison to gain insight into some subtle aspects of the FC transmission. To this end, 18 members of the latter series were isotopically enriched in (13)C at the methyl position and the following couplings were measured; 1JC3CMe, 3JC1CMe and 4JCXCMe. These three types of SSCCs in (2) are compared, respectively, with 1JC3H3, 3JC1H3 and 4JCXH in (1); these latter values were taken from previous works. Since electron delocalization plays an important role in the transmission of the FC interaction, the natural bond orbital (NBO) method is employed to quantify electron delocalization interactions within selected members of series (1) and (2). It is found that 1JC3H3 SSCCs in (1) is more efficiently transmitted than 1JC3CMe SSCCs in (2). On the other hand, 3JC1H3 and 4JCXH SSCCs in (1) are notably less efficiently transmitted than 3JC1CMe and 4JCXCMe SSCCs in (2), although substituent effects on these two SSCCs show the opposite trends. These different efficiencies are rationalized in terms of different sigma-hyperconjugative interactions in both series of compounds.
