A Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Study of the Symmetry of the Proton Spins in Ethylene Sulfite in a Nematic Solvent
Keyword(s):
The proton magnetic resonance spectrum of ethylene sulfite dissolved in the nematic phase N(p-methoxybenzylidene)-p-n-butylaniline has been recorded and analyzed. The dipole–dipole coupling constants derived show that the four protons are arranged in an effective plane with C2v symmetry. The spectrum is deceptively similar to that expected for D2h symmetry but errors between the experimental and the optimized computed spectrum are unacceptably large with this assumption. The two vicinal protons cis to the extra ring oxygen are closer together than the two trans vicinal protons. A comparison is made with the molecule ethylene carbonate studied previously in the same nematic solvent.
