Abstract
The carbon chemical shifts of pyridine associated to various aliphatic and aromatic alcohols are measured. Actual effects of hydrogen bonding formation on 13c shifts, have been characterized by evaluating in first, anisotropy and non specific medium effects. Linear relationships are obtained between 13C shifts and the IR frequency shifts. Positive slopes are observed for C-β and C-γ in agreement with the electron population change, but a reverse slope results for C-α carbon.
