Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of 35Cl, 37Cl, 79Br, and 81Br in Aqueous Solution

Abstract

Abstract The NMR signals of the nuclei 2H, 35Cl, 37Cl, 79Br and 81Br have been investigated in aqueous solutions. The concentration dependence of the NMR signals of 35Cl and 81Br has been determined in solutions of alkali halides and alkali perchlorates in H2O and D2O and the large solvent isotope effect on the chemical shift has been established. The ratios of the Larmor frequencies of the halide nuclei relative to 2H have been measured with high accuracy. Using the concentration dependence, the ratios of the Larmor frequencies of the halide nuclei for infinite dilution relative to 2H in pure D2O are given. From these ratios, magnetic moments for the halide nuclei have been derived.
