P. Novak et al., LONG-RANGE DEUTERIUM-INDUCED ISOTOPE EFFECTS ON H-1 CHEMICAL-SHIFTS IN CIS-STILBENE AND TRANS-STILBENE, Journal of molecular structure, 410, 1997, pp. 9-12
Deuterium isotope effects on olefinic proton chemical shifts in a seri
es of deuterated cis- and trans-stilbene isotopomers have been determi
ned and analysed. The effects exhibit conformational and solvent depen
dence. The sign and magnitude of the effects are governed by the addit
ivity rule. An opposite trend between the effects at the olefinic prot
on and those previously observed at olefinic carbon has been found and
discussed for closely related compounds. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.
