Notes:
The 1H NMR spectrum of hexakis(3-methoxyphenyl)benzene exhibits a methoxy absorption which looks exactly like a triplet. The spacing between the signals is, however, proportional to rather than independent of the field strength. The aryl H-5 region of this compound and the methyl region of hexakis(3-methylphenyl)benzene display similar field-proportional, triplet-like splittings. This property of meta-substituted hexaphenylbenzenes cannot be explained by either preferential or residual isomerism, even in the presence of many accidental isochronies. A chemical shift model based on the hypothesis that the meta substituents do not disturb the geometry of the hexaphenylbenzene skeleton or the populations of the rotamers explains the spectra in a straightforward manner.
