Abstract:The temperature dependence of the proton chemical-shift difference between the methyl and methylene groups in the unbranched paraffin hydrocarbon C44H90 was calculated by using Pople's approximation and the Monte Carlo method, and the calculated results could interpret the experimental behavior in carbon tetrachloride solution. From these results, it was estimated that the energy difference between the trans and gauche states is 188&2300 J/mol, and the four-bond interaction energy is 527G6275 J/mol. The estima… Show more
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.
