Abstract

13C NMR at 125.76 MHz with 1H and 2H decoupling, 2H NMR at 76.77 MHz with 1H decoupling, and 1H NMR at 500.14 MHz with 2H decoupling were employed as analytical tools to study the complex mixtures of deuterated ethanes resulting from the catalytic H–D exchange of normal ethane with gas-phase deuterium in the presence of a platinum foil. Reference samples consisting of 1: 1 binary mixtures of pure normal ethane and ethane- ...
