Abstract 9-Isothiocyanatoacridines VIII-XIV were prepared from the corresponding 9- chloroacridines I-VII. The IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and fluorescence spectra of the products are given. The 13 C NMR chemical shifts of the C-9 ipso carbon atom exhibit a trend that is in accord with the Hammett constants of substituents bonded to the C-2 carbon. Effect of these substituents on the chemical shift of C-NCS was only small. The dependence of ...
