Abstract

The substituent parameters for the series of mono-, di-and trisubstituted Me groups, CH2X, CHX2, and CX3 where X is F, Cl, Br, OMe, SCF3 and CN, have been determined from F19 NMR measurements on the corresponding meta-and para-fluorotoluenes. An additive linear effect of substitution is found only for the cyano substituent. A saturation effect noted for the groups where X is F, Cl, Br and SCF3 (particularly chloro and bromo) after disubstitution is ...
