Abstract
Abstract The molecular structures of 1,3-benzodioxole and 1,3-indandione partially oriented in nematic solvents have been studied by NMR. Results for 1,3-indandione agree well with a planar model. The structural parameters are similar to those obtained by X-ray studies. No keto-enol tautomerism is observed. An anomalous structural result is obtained for 1,3-benzodioxole if the molecule is assumed to be planar. Dipolar couplings agree well with puckered model. The puckering angle is found to be about 15.5° ± 2°, similar to the values observed for TTF, TSeF and 2,5-dihydrofuran.
