Abstract
Long-range proton – methyl proton coupling constants in propene, mesitylene, 9-methylphenanthrene, and acenaphthene appear to be linearly related to the square of the mobile bond order between the carbon atoms bonded to the methyl group and the proton. However, substituent-induced changes in the charge on and hybridization state of the carbon atoms, in excitation parameters and in potential barriers to rotation of the methyl group, may also affect the coupling. Such changes must be considered in the application of a possible linear relationship.
