title: Structural trends of 29Si-1H spin-spin coupling constants across double bond.
abstract: The calculations of geminal and vicinal (29)Si-(1)H spin-spin coupling constants across double bond in 15 alkenylmethylsilanes and alkenylchlorosilanes were carried out at the second-order polarization propagator approach level in a good agreement with experiment. Two structural trends, namely, (i) the geometry of the coupling pathway and (ii) the effect of the electrowithdrawing substituent, have been interpreted in terms of the natural J-coupling analysis within the framework of the natural bond orbital approach. Thus, the marked difference between cisoidal and transoidal (29)Si-(1)H spin-spin coupling constants across double bond was accounted for the delocalization contributions including bonding and antibonding Si-C and C-H orbitals, whereas the chlorine effect was explained in terms of the steric contributions including bonding Si-Cl orbitals.
