Sj. Shaw et al., A C-13 NMR spectral examination of alpha- and beta-carbon signal peak heights in some disubstituted arylporphyrins, J PORPHYR P, 5(7), 2001, pp. 575-581
A C-13 NMR spectral study of 29 arylporphyrin derivatives is presented. In
all of the tetrasubstituted and trisubstituted compounds examined the alpha
- and beta -carbons exhibited the expected broadened signals. In complete c
ontrast, the diphenylporphyrins all showed sharp alpha- and beta -carbon pe
aks which facilitated structural confirmation. These observations have been
correlated with differing tautomeric exchange rates. Copyright (C) 2001 Jo
