The variable‐temperature 1 H NMR spectra of a tosylated triazacyclononane are reported. The spectra show a dynamic process which is assigned to hindered rotation about the amide‐like NS bonds, and a value for the free energy of activation for the rotations is derived, Δ G * = 50.2 kJ mol −1 at 273 K. Steric and electronic factors which influence the barrier are discussed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
