NQR parameters of complexes and polarizability effect.

The literature data on substituent influence on the nuclear quadrupole resonance frequencies (ν), quadrupole coupling constants (e(2) Qq ⋅ h(- 1) ), and asymmetry parameters (η) for 36 series of the H-complexes, charge-transfer complexes, transition metal complexes and other donor-acceptor complexes have been considered, using the correlation analysis. Generally the ν, e(2) Qq ⋅ h(- 1) , and η values were first established to depend on the inductive, resonance, polarizability, and steric effects of substituents. The presence or otherwise of certain effects as well as relation between their contributions are determined by the type of series.

EPR parameters of radical ions and polarizability effect.

The literature data on substituent influence on the g factors, hyperfine coupling (hfc) constants (a) of the EPR signals and the spin densities (ρ) have been analyzed for 25 series of the organic radical cations and radical anions as well as of the transition metal complexes. The g, a, and ρ values were first established to depend not only on the inductive and resonance effects but also on the polarizability of substituents which can be characterized by the σ(α) constants. The polarizability effect is caused by the partial charge on the radical center.

Transition metal NMR chemical shifts and polarizability effect in organometallic complexes.

The literature data on substituent influence on the (51)V, (55)Mn, (57)Fe, (59)Co, (61)Ni, (95)Mo, (103)Rh, (183)W, (187)Os and (195)Pt NMR chemical shifts (delta) and on J (M, P; M = Mn, Fe, Mo, Rh, W, Os) coupling constants have been analyzed for 30 series of the organometallic complexes. It has been established for the first time that the delta and J values depend on the inductive, resonance and polarizability effects of substituents. The polarizability effect is caused by the partial charge on the central M atom.
