Abstract High resolution infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra confirm the structure of cis-polychloroprene prepared by a stereospecific route. Head-to-tail, head-to-head, and tail-to-tail sequence isomerism in both as- and trans-polychloroprenes has been discovered and measured quantitatively by high resolution NMR spectroscopy. The irregularity in the microstructure of neoprenes proves to be more extensive than was previously suspected.

Some general properties of ABCX -type spectra are discussed. It is shown that it is possible to deduce from such spectra the relative signs of all inter-nuclear coupling constants. Analyses are presented of the hydrogen (proton) spectra from the vinyl groups of vinyl fluoride and 3-methylbut-l-ene, and of the fluorine spectrum of the former molecule. It is shown that all HF coupling constants in vinyl fluoride are of the same sign as the cis and trans HH coupling constants.

The effects of Co(acetylacetonate)2, Ni(acetylacetonate)2, and Cu(ethyl acetoacetate)2 on the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of a variety of alcohols and amines have been studied. Changes are produced in the spectra, which are useful for assigning the signals.
