title: Qualitative and quantitative measurements of hydrogen bond mediated scalar couplings in acyclic 1,3-diols.
abstract: [Structure: see text] OH...OH hydrogen bond mediated scalar couplings have been observed in acyclic syn- and anti-1,3-diols using a 2D 1H COSYLR NMR experiment and quantified with an uncertainty of +/-0.02 Hz with a selective-excitation spin-echo NMR experiment. A theoretical investigation confirmed the importance of the hydrogen bond in mediating the spin-spin coupling in these systems.
