Proton coupled and uncoupled 13C, 1H, DEPT, COSY and HETCOR NMR spectra of 4-Phenylpyridine (4-Phpy) have been reported for the first time except for its 1H NMR spectrum. In order to provide a precise structural elucidation for carbon atoms those have very close chemical shifts to each other, the magnitude of nJCH (n=1,2,3n=1,2,3) coupling constants of 4-Phpy (C11H9N) have also been investigated. 13C, 1H NMR chemical shifts and 1–3JCH coupling constants of 4-Phpy have been calculated by means of B3LYP density functional method with 6-311++G(d,pd,p) basis set. Moreover, the optimized parameters (bond lengths, bond and torsion angles) of 4-Phpy have been calculated with B3LYP at 6-31G(d ) level in methanol (ε=32.63ε=32.63). Comparison between the experimental and the theoretical results indicates that density functional B3LYP method is able to provide satisfactory results for predicting NMR properties.
