The investigated molecules were synthesized according to the following procedure. The spectra were recorded using Bruker 400 and 500 MHz NMR spectrometers. TheEurotherm temperature control unit was utilized to set the temperature to an accuracy of ±1.0 K. The 1H chemical shifts were referenced relative to TMS.15N spectra are referenced to external nitromethane, 19F spectra are referenced to trifluoroacetic acid. Synthesis Procedure: All the investigated molecules 1-8 were synthesizes using the following procedure. The substituted aniline (4mM, 2 eq) was dissolved in chloroform (4ml) and it was added drop by drop to Oxalyl chloride (2mM, 1 eq ) at 00C.After stirring fornearly 10minsthe white solid formed was washed with distilled water, and the compound was recrystallized from chloroform.
