ResultsProton Spectra (Table 1). A sample of 0.6 mL of the solvent, containing 1 μL of TMS, 1 was first run on its own. From this spectrum we determined the chemical shifts of the solvent residual peak2 and the water peak. It should be noted that the latter is quite temperaturedependent (vide infra). Also, any potential hydrogenbond acceptor will tend to shift the water signal downfield; this is particularly true for nonpolar solvents. In contrast, in eg DMSO the water is already strongly hydrogen-bonded to the solvent, and solutes have only a negligible effect on its chemical shift. This is also true for D2O; the chemical shift of the residual HDO is very temperature-dependent (vide infra) but, maybe counterintuitively, remarkably solute (and pH) independent. We then added 3 μL of one of our stock solutions to the NMR tube. The chemical shifts were read and are presented in Table 1. Except where indicated, the coupling constants, and therefore the peak shapes, are essentially solvent-independent and are presented only once.For D2Oasasolvent, the accepted reference peak (δ) 0) is the methyl signal of the sodium salt of 3-(trimethylsilyl) propanesulfonic acid; one crystal of this was added to each NMR tube. This material has several disadvantages, however: it is not volatile, so it cannot be readily eliminated if the sample has to be recovered. In addition, unless one purchases it in the relatively expensive deuterated form, it adds three more signals to the spectrum (methylenes 1, 2, and 3 appear at 2.91, 1.76, and 0.63 ppm, respectively). We suggest that the residual HDO peak be used as a secondary reference; we find that if the effects of temperature are taken into account (vide infra), this is very reproducible. For D2O, we used a different set of stock solutions, since many of the less polar substrates are not significantly watersoluble (see Table 1). We also ran sodium acetate and sodium formate (chemical shifts: 1.90 and 8.44 ppm, respectively).
