Document Summary

In 13c nmr, one region was enough for both of these, but see how different things are with proton nmr. The two carbon signals are almost the same (1. 3 p. p. m. difference < 1% of the total. 200 p. p. m. scale) but the proton signals are very different (1. 6 p. p. m. difference = 16% of the 10 p. p. m. scale). There must be a fundamental reason for this. The benzene ring current causes large shifts for aromatic protons. The benzene ring looks similar at first sight, and the plane of the molecule is indeed a node for all the p orbitals. However, benzene is aromatic" it has extra stability because the six p electrons fit into three very stable orbitals and are delocalized round the whole ring. The applied field sets up a ring current in these delocalized electrons that produces a local field rather like the field produced by the electrons around a nucleus.
