Fluorine-19 nuclear magnetic resonance studies of aromatic compounds. Part 5. Transmission of substituent effects across two aromatic rings connected by C–C and –C– linkages

Abstract
The 19F n.m.r. spectra of compounds of the type p-FC6H4·Z·C6H4X-p[Z = C⋮C, cis or trans CH:CH, CH2·CH2, threo or erythro CHBr·CHBr, CH, CH(OH), CHCl, or CHBr] have been used to examine the transmission of substituent effects of X across the group Z. When Z is unsaturated, the magnitude of the transmitted effect is not solely dependent upon the extent of conjugation between the rings; when Z is a saturated C–C bond the magnitude of the transmitted effect is sensitive to the conformational properties of the system. When Z is a single substituent carbon atom (CHY; Y = H, OH, Cl, or Br) the transmission is greater when Y = OH than for all the other substituents, which all show the same behaviour.
