The 17O and 1H NMR chemical shifts of water [δ(17OH2), δ(1H2O)] in aqueous solutions of NaCl, NaBr, NaI, NaNO3, NaClO4, NaOH, KCl, KBr, KNO3 and KOH have been measured and used to determine the δ(17O), and δ(1H) chemical shifts of hydroxide ion and some of its aqua-complexes. The δ(17O), and δ(1H) chemical shifts for the OH-···nH2O and H+···nH2O complexes are discussed.
