Solvent Effects of Alcohols in Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectra of P-Chlorophenol

Nuclear magnetic response (NMR) spectroscopy has been used to study the structure of crystalline compounds, as well as liquids and gases; but to do this crystalline compounds must first be dissolved in a solvent to produce a homogeneous sample. Numerous workers have found that the observed resonance position, with respect to the externally applied magnetic field of a particular proton or group of protons, appears to change position, compared to the resonance position of a suitable standard material, with different chemical environments
