In this study we present gas phase measurements of the 1 H and 13 C NMR chemical s hifts and<br />
spin-spin coupling constants for 1,2- 13 C-ethylene ( 13 C 2 H 4 ). This isotopomer of ethylene gives<br />
an AA´XX´X´´X´´´ NMR spectrum of which the XX´X´´X´´´ and AA´ parts can be separately<br />
1 13<br />
monitored by the H and C NMR methods. The latter spectra are rather complex and in our<br />
laboratory they have been analyzed using the PERCH program [1]. It has enabled us to<br />
measure all the coupling constants of 1,2- 13 C-ethylene (i.e. 1 J CH ,<br />
1 J CH, 2 J HH , 3 CC , 2 J J HH(cis) and<br />
3<br />
J HH (tran s) ) in the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra . The 13 C 2 H 4 compound has been investigated as the<br />
pure gas and as the solute in gaseous solutions where xenon and carbon dioxide have been<br />
used as gaseous solvents. We have observed the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of 13 C 2 H4 as<br />
functions of density and after extrapolation to zero density it was possible to determine all the<br />
shielding and spin-spin coupling constants independent of density for pure 1,2- 13 C-ethylene.<br />
T he values measured in gaseous solvents were additionally corrected for ethylene-ethylene<br />
intermolecular interactions and this way we could also determine<br />
the reliable NMR<br />
parameters for an isolated 13 C 2 H 4 molecule. It was especially important for the 1 J CC spin-spin<br />
coupling and for both the 1 H and 13 C shielding constants which were distinctly dependent on<br />
density. The other spin-spin couplings ( 1 J CH , 2 J CH , 2 J HH , 3 J HH(cis) and 3 J HH(trans) ) in a 1,2- 13 C-<br />
ethylene molecule were almost independent of density in the studied systems. This result is<br />
consistent with our previous investigations performed for 1,2- 13 C-acetylene [2] where the<br />
density dependence was also found only for the spin-spin coupling between carbon nuclei,<br />
1 J CC .<br />
