New evidence for the structure of dithizone in solution from 1H and 13C n.m.r spectra and 15N-labelling
Abstract
1 H N.m.r spectra of dithizone, its 15N-labelled analogue and its alkyl-substituted homologues, as well as the 13C n.m.r spectrum, suggest that dithizone should be regarded as a single species in solution rateher than as the tautomeric equilibrium of thiol and thione forms which has been widely accepted.
