Theoretical and Experimental NMR Study of a Series of Five Nitrobenzene-1,2-Diamines

¹H-, ¹³C-, and ¹⁵N-NMR studies of five nitrobenzene-1,2-diamines in solution and solid state have been achieved and the experimental chemical shifts and coupling constants agree with the theoretical values obtained at the B3LYP/6-311 + +G(dp) computational level using the geometries fully optimized with the hybrid HF/DFT B3LYP method and the 6-31G(d) basis set. The GIAO approximation has been used to calculate the absolute shieldings. The contribution of the substituents to the ¹⁵N chemical shifts of the amino groups could be quantified using a presence/absence matrix and a multiple regression.
