Explain the significance of magnitude of “J” constant in structure elucidations.
Q.3. (b) Explain the significance of magnitude of “J” constant in structure elucidations.
Ans.3. (b) Coupling constant: The distance between the centers of the two adjacent peaks in a multiplet is usually constant and is usually called the coupling constant. The value of the coupling constant is independent of the external field. It is measured in Hertz (Hz) or in cps (cycles per second). It is denoted by the letter J.
