The observed shifts, hasw, are the result of partial delocalization of unpaired electrons from the paramagnetic complexes on the alkanes. The value of depends strongly on the position of a carbon atom in the hydrocarbon molecule, and tends to decrease on passing from primary to quaternary carbon atoms. The observed spin transfer seems to reflect the 'contact charge transfer.' The A6,,, shifts in the unsaturated hex-1-ene only slightly exceed those in alkanes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
