One obtains a relation between AG and the infinite dilution shift 6, if the first term on the right hand side of Eq. (37) is simplified under the assumption that the relative concentrations of all individual ionic species correspond to the statistical distribution,...

Figure 11. Plot of the infinite dilution shifts of Table 2 across the range of cations considered here. The shift axes are scaled in the proportion of the number of electrons in the free ions, and those for and Ca " have been displaced in the low-field direction to take some account of the fact that the coordination of these cations differs from that of the alkali metals.

The chemical shifts of monosubstituted thiophenes relative to the a- and )8-hydrogens of thiophene at infinite dilution in cyclohexane are given in Table I and are discussed in the following. 

The electronic effects of many substituents have been examined by studies of PMR118,119 sulfinyl and sulfonyl groups have been included in some of these. For example, Socrates120 measured the hydroxyl chemical shifts for 55 substituted phenols in carbon tetrachloride and in dimethyl sulfoxide at infinite dilution, and endeavored to... 

Water was also investigated as a proton donor for the hydrogen bond with DMSO and other Lewis bases at infinite dilution detected by means of 1H NMR54-69. A comparison of the hydrogen bonding ability of DMSO in various other aprotic solvents was presented by Delpuech70 who measured the H-NMR chemical shift of CHC13. 

Pinkerton and Thames have carried out a new, more extensive study of pd-rc-bonding in silicon substituted furans and have slightly modified the earlier, Soviet conclusions. The aromatic protons indicate by their chemical shifts at infinite dilution that there are simultaneous but opposing +1 and... 

Due to shifts of the pH-activity profiles, pH values often must be adjusted to obtain the optimal activity of the enzyme under investigation (Maurel and Douzou, 1975). When the above requirements are fulfilled, there is always a residual effect of the cosolvent on enzyme activity. In most cases, such an effect is small compared to the effect of lowering temperature. It must be checked that the effect is instantaneous upon addition of the solvent, independent of time, and fully reversible by infinite dilution or dialysis. If these conditions are not met, one should suspect denaturation. 

Advanced Chemistry Development Inc. has built a sizeable proton chemical shift database derived from published spectra (most commonly in CDCI3 solution). Their H NMR predictor programme accesses this database and allows the prediction of chemical shifts. Whilst this software takes account of geometry in calculating scalar couplings, in predicting chemical shifts it essentially treats the structure as planar. It would therefore seem doomed to failure. However, if closely related compounds, run at infinite dilution and in the same solvent, are present in the database, the conformation is implied and the results can be quite accurate. Of course, the results will not be reliable if sub-structures are not well represented within the database and the wide dispersion of errors (dependent on whether a compound is represented or not) can cause serious problems in structure confirmation (later). ACD are currently revising their strict adherence to HOSE codes for sub-structure identification and this will hopefully remove infrequent odd sub-structure selections made currently. 

Xo other symbols to denote shifts at infinite dilution will be used. 

C solvent shifts may be extrapolated to infinite dilution, and thence via the postulation of two types (82) and (83) of solvent interaction <74JMR(14)286), a scheme of parameterized solvent shifts can be prepared assuming that each type of interaction produces its own intrinsic shift.

Neither CS2 nor TMS are ideal standards. The 13C signals of CS2 and carbonyl carbons overlap, as do the 13C signals of cyclopropane and some methyl carbons with TMS (Fig. 3.3). Furthermore, the 13C resonance of TMS has been shown to suffer from solvent shifts of the order of + 0.1 to 1.5 ppm in common NMR solvents, even at infinite dilution [74]. This must be considered if 13C shifts relative to TMS of one compound in different solvents are to be compared. There are two alternative methods to overcome this problem one is to use cyclohexane as the internal reference cyclohexane was shown to have 13C solvent shifts lower than + 0.5 ppm [74], The other alternative is to use TMS as an external reference (Sections 1.9.3 and 2.8.5) and to make bulk susceptibility shift corrections according to eq. (1.44). 

Dilution shifts of 13C signals may reach a magnitude of several ppm. The 13C resonance of methyl iodide dissolved in cyclohexane [91 a] or tetramethylsilane [91b] shifts upheld by about 7 ppm upon dilution. A much smaller upheld dilution shift (0.5 ppm) is observed for the 13C signal of chloroform in cyclohexane [92]. A constant shift independent of further dilution may be reached at lower concentrations. In this case, the solution behaves as if it were infinitely diluted in terms of chemical shifts. This was observed for substituted benzenes in trifluoroacetic acid at a solute concentration in moles of 10 to 15% [93].

A linear dual substituent relation between the chemical shifts of the germatrane protons (extrapolated to infinite dilution in CDCI3) and the inductive (cti) and resonance (or0) substituent parameters at the Ge atom was found (equations 55, r = 0.99)606. 

Analysing these data, the most interesting result is the possibility of obtaining experimental values of 33S chemical shift at infinite dilution, i.e. a measure of nuclear shielding in the absence of intermolecular interactions. These values can be compared with the ones obtained in condensed phases, providing an estimate of the effect of intermolecular interactions on nuclear shielding.
