The chemical shifts and several (19)F-(19)F, (13)C-(19) F and (1)H-(19)F spin-spin coupling constants (SSCSs) of eight 4,5,6,7-tetraflurobenzazoles (three benzimidazoles, three benzimidazolinones and two indazoles) have been determined. The chemical shifts were discussed using gauge including atomic orbital-density functional theory calculations taking into account solvent effects (polarizable continuum model) and, for the solid state, hydrogen bonds (clusters up to three molecules).
Keywords: CPMAS; GIAO-DFT; MAS; PCM; benzimidazoles; benzimidazolinones; fluorinated compounds; indazoles.
