A. Maslankiewicz et al., STRUCTURE OF 4-SUBSTITUTED 3,4'-DIQUINOLINYL SULFIDES STUDIED BY H-1 AND C-13 NMR AND X-RAY-ANALYSIS, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 74(1-4), 1993, pp. 429-430
NMR and X-ray data show that 4-substituted 3,4'-diquinolinyl sulfides
exist both in a solution and in solid state in a skew conformation at
the main sulfide bridge and that non-typical position of H-2 proton ma
y be attributed to its shielding by aromatic rings of a second quinoli
ne fragment.
