Abstract: The influence of substituents on the ¹³C NMR chemical shift values of the aromatic ring carbons and -CO-NH-C(=X)- groups (X = S, Se, O) of a series of 27 N-benzoyl-N'-(Y-aryl)- and -N'-alkylthioureas, selenoureas, ureas, thiourethanes and isothioureas was investigated. As found, the substituents in N-benzoyl-N'-(4-Y-phenyl)thio(seleno)ureas do not considerably influence the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of C=X and C=O carbons; the marked substituent effect is observed for the aromatic ring carbons only. This conclusion was also confirmed by correlations with χ_s and σ_p+ constants of substituents. Differences between the benzoyl δ(CO) values of N'-monosubstituted and N',N'-disubstituted thioureas indicate the existence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond in the acylthiourea grouping, namely between the benzoyl CO and the N'H groups. The ¹³C NMR chemical shift values of C=Se carbons in N-benzoyl-N'-(4-Y-phenyl)selenoureas are higher than those of the analogous C=S carbons of the corresponding thioureas. The ¹³C spectral chemical shift increments ∆ δ of -NHCSNHCOPh and -NHCSeNHCOPh groupings on the benzene ring were calculated.
