Halogen nuclear magnetic resonance shifts. Part I. Cl³⁵ resonance in alkali chlorides

Abstract

The nuclear magnetic resonance shifts (chemical shifts) of Cl³⁵ in aqueous solutions of alkali chlorides were determined using a High Resolution NMR Spectrometer. These small shifts probably represent the effect of the neighbouring atom even in the highly ionic state. A similarity of these results to the quadrupole coupling constants of the halogen atom in these molecules is pointed out.
