Natural-abundance carbon-1 3 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, with proton noise decoupling, have been obtained for pure meso-and rac-2,4-dichloropentane, pure meso-and rac-2,3-dichlorobutane, and two samples of poly(viny1 chloride) of different stereochemical configuration. The chemical shifts of the chlorinated hydrocarbon models are interpreted in terms of their rotational isomers. The sensitivity of 13C shifts to stereoisomers was found to be an order of magnitude greater than that of proton shifts. Triad sequences were easily distinguished for poly(viny1 chloride), but the diad, tetrad, or pentad structures may be more difficult to extract from
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.
