Abstract:
α-HfNBr (space group Pmmn) isostructural with FeOCl consists of orthorhombic [Hf2N2] layers sandwiched by bromide layers. By the reaction with Na2S at 750 °C in a sealed glass tube, the α-type [Hf2N2] layers are topochemically cross-linked with sulfur to form α-Hf2N2S with a mutual shift of the layers in the ab plane by (a/2 + b/2) to crystallize in space group Immm and the lattice parameters a = 4.1422(1), b = 3.5058(1), and c = 11.4043(3) Å. At a higher reaction temperature of 850 °C, the β-type layered variant β-Hf2N2S with a double honeycomb network is obtained, which adopts the La2O2S structure with space group P3m1 and the lattice parameters a = 3.5805(1) and c = 6.4063(1) Å.

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.
