Abstract
The PMR spectrum of BaBr2·2H2O shows resolved fine structure when the crystallographic b axis is perpendicular to the magnetic field. This fine structure can be explained upon assuming the existence of a four‐proton system. Comparison between theoretically computed spectra and experimental spectra shows that the system is a parallelogram in the a—c plane. One side is perpendicular to the c axis while the longer side lies about 3° away from the c axis (toward the a axis). The intramolecular and intermolecular proton—proton distances are 1.57 and 2.60 Å, respectively. Neither value has been corrected for motional effects.
