Application of the extended least squares method an example within the field of N.M.R. spectroscopy of partially oriented molecules

Abstract

The extended least squares fitting method takes into account the possible correlations among the experimental data and consequently is able to give more accurate results than the conventional least squares method. In this paper a practicable technique for taking advantage of it is described and applied to the molecular structure determination by N.M.R. spectroscopy of partially oriented molecules. The effect of the new method is demonstrated in case of monofluorobenzene.
