Protons of substrueture B and C are assigned by means of the mesomerie effeet of the aldehyde group whieh deshields the protons in o-position of the attaehed p-disubstituted benzenoid ring and in p-position of the eentral CC double bond ort/io-protons of the monosubstituted benzenoid ring D split into a doublet beeause of one ortho eoupling ( 7.5 Hz) while the meta-protons split into a triplet beeause of two ortho eouplings. 

These protons split signal for proton at C-2 into a triplet. 

Similar conclusions were obtained from lH and 31P NMR and also from IR studies of egg phospholecithin reversed micelles in benzene by Boicelli et al. 58 61). According to the results of these experiments the water structure within the reversed phospholecithin micelles alters considerably compared with water in bulk. This becomes evident from the shortening of the relaxation time T, of the water protons split into two relaxation times T1A and T1B, indicating that there are at least two... 

In the 1H NMR spectra we ve seen thus far, each different kind of proton in a molecule has given rise to a single peak. It often happens, though, that the absorption of a proton splits into multiple peaks, called a multiplet. For example, in the lH NMR spectrum of bromoethane shown in Figure 13.13, the -CH2Br protons appear as four peaks (a quartet) centered at 3.42 8 and the -CH3 protons appear as three peaks (a triplet) centered at 1.68 6. 

Yet another complication in 1H NMR spectroscopy arises when a signal is split by two or more nonequivalent kinds of protons, as is the case with trans-cinnamaldehyde, isolated from oil of cinnamon (Figure 13.19). Although the n + l rule predicts splitting caused by equivalent protons, splittings caused by nonequivalent protons are more complex. 

Fig. 7. Effect of pH on the EPR spectrum recorded at —100° of sulphite oxidase reduced by sulphite. The species present at low pH values, which shows proton splitting, is replaced by another species at high pH. The pH. for the transformation is about 8.2, In (A), maxima and minima in the derivative spectra are denoted by the numbers 1—7. In (B) changes in the spectra are plotted as a function of pH. with values at pH 7.2 taken as 100% and those at pH 9.2 taken as 0%, or vice versa. The features in the spectra measured were height of the 1 and 2 doublet (open circles) height of the peak at 3 (squares) distance between 4 and 5 (triangles) and height of 7 (diagonal crosses).

There are two other important consequences of spin-spin coupling. First, n equivalent protons will split another signal into n + 1 lines (hence three methyl protons split a methylene CH2 into 3 + 1 = 4 lines). Second, the relative sizes of peaks of a coupled multiplet can be calculated from Pascal s triangle (Figure 1.5). 

Just as in NMR, a multiplet pattern gives an important clue to the identity of a radical. For example, in the naphthalene anion radical, there are four a (positions 1, 4, 5, 8) and four p protons (positions 2, 3, 6, 7). Each proton splits the electronic energy levels in two. Since the a protons are equivalent, for example, the splitting is the same for each proton. Thus, as shown on the right side of Figure 2.1, five equally spaced energy level values result. 

No, that is not all. You can tell that the —CH2— protons and the —CH3 protons split each other by their coupling constant, the distance between the split peaks of a single group. Coupling constants are called J values, and are usually given in hertz (Hz). You can read them right from the chart, which has a grid calibrated in hertz. If you find protons at different chemical shifts... 

Upon y-irradiation of 1 in a CF3CCI3 matrix at 77 K [78], a radical cation was formed, the ESR spectrum of which consisted of nine broad hyperfine components spaced by ca. 0.75 mT (g = 2.0029 0.002), and the corresponding proton END OR spectrum exhibited two essentially isotropic signals at 25.83 and 24.58 MHz. The detailed analysis of the ESR and END OR spectra disclosed that the initially formed radical cation 1+ had transformed into the tetramethyleneethane radical cation 94+ (Scheme 17). In CFCI3 and CF2CICFCI2 matrices 1+ persists up to 100 K [79]. On going from 1 to l+, the set of eight equivalent protons splits... 

The H NMR spectra of selenophenes and tellurophenes clearly reveal 77Se and 125Te satellite splittings. The magnitude of the heteroatom-proton splittings is tabulated in Table 4.

It will be noted that Q does vary among the radicals in Table 29.2. Even more interesting is the fact that the molecules that form anion radicals upon reduction and cation radicals upon oxidation usually display larger proton splittings in the cationic species. Colpa and Bolton [9] proposed a more sophisticated equation based on the fact that negative charge in the p-type orbital will... 

Cells such as those described in References 23, 24, and 29 are particularly suited to study of short-lived intermediates requiring in situ generation at accurately controlled potentials. When a conventional electrochemical cell was used to study the Kolbe synthesis oxidation of triphenylacetic acid [53], it was concluded that the initially formed radical was triphenylacetoxyl (3-CCOO ), based on the assignment of two para- and four ortho-proton splittings. A more careful study [54] using the cell described in Reference 23 showed that it is in fact the triphenylmethyl radical that is formed initially the identity of the other species was not established, although it is clearly not the acetoxyl radical.
