Since the a-C atoms in C-nitro compounds are sp3 hybridized, whereas these atoms in nitronates are sp2 hybridized, the signals for both the a-C atom and the protons bonded to this atom are shifted in nitronates to lower field. However, all of the above mentioned signals in the NMR spectra of nitronates RR,C=N(0)0X do appear at higher field than the corresponding signals for analogous oximino derivatives RR,C=N-0- due to the contribution of resonance structures A and B shown in Chart 3.6.

In general, C-nitro compounds are more stable than /V-nitro compounds because of the higher bonding energies in the former type. Evidence is offered [1] that decomposition and explosion of many nitro-derivatives proceeds through the aci-form, and that sensitivity corresponds to the proportion of that present. In terms of this work, sensitisation by very small proportions of soluble organic bases is most important this is not limited to nitroalkanes. TNT can apparently be brought to the sensitivity of lead azide by this means. For a physicist s view of this sensitisation,...
