Abstract
In this work ^3^J~CH~ spin‐spin coupling constants (SSCCs) for the cis‐ and __trans‐__conformers for α‐X‐acetamides (X = F, Cl, Br and CN) (1–4) were studied in detail since they were found to be notably different for both conformers. These differences are rationalized as originating in the changes of the strong negative hyperconjugative interactions that take place within the carbonyl group. Such changes are found to depend not only on conformation, but also on solvent. For the cis‐conformers there is a close proximity between the X‐substituent and the in‐plane oxygen lone pair of pure p character, which affects notably their respective negative hyperconjugative interactions. Both the efficiency for transmitting the Fermi contact (FC) term through the coupling pathway of ^3^J~CH~ SSCCs and its potential as a probe to study the stereochemical properties of the XH~2~C group are discussed.

## Abstract It is demonstrated that in a case where neither the proton nor the natural‐abundance ^13^C‐satellite spectra of a partially oriented molecule carry enough structural information, one can determine the entire molecular geometry by the combined use of several liquid crystals as solvents.
