Abstract
By making use of specific solvent effects it has been possible to vary the relative chemical shift between the geminal protons of vinyl bromide from about +10 cycles/sec to −4 cycles/sec (at 60 Mc/sec) and to study the resultant changes in the proton resonance spectrum in the limiting region of zero chemical shift. Of particular interest is the growth and displacement of the combination lines, which appear in the resonance signals of the proton bonded to the same carbon atom as the bromine. From the variation of the six possible lines in this region it was confirmed that the cis and trans proton coupling constants must have the same sign. The intensity distribution of the lines in the geminal proton region require the geminal coupling constant to be of opposite sign to the other two.
