title: Quantitative 2H NMR spectroscopy with 1H lock extender.
abstract: An inexpensive external unit that allows the use of the commercial high-resolution NMR spectrometer for (2)H observation with an (1)H lock system is described. The external unit does not require any tuning, is extremely easy to use, and could be a cheaper and more straightforward alternative to the more expensive (19)F lock configuration. An application for the quantitative determination of the natural isotopic ratio (2)H/(1)H of ethanol and acetic acid is reported.
