Does I and F couple in F-19 NMR? If not why?

I don't know the specific answer to your question.  But let me offer you food for thought.  Do we observe Cl-35 coupling to H-1 or to C-13 in chloroform?

no because C-13 and H-1 are not quadroupole active?

C-13 and H-1 couple to H-2, which is quadrupolar; therefore, we know that in general spin-1/2 nuclei can couple with quadrupolar nuclei.  I think it has to do with the relaxation rate of the Cl-35 nucleus being very fast.  It has been some time since I looked into this over.
