General description

Benzene-d6 (C6D6) is deuterated benzene. It is an anhydrous solvent, which minimizes any interference from water peaks. It is useful in performing critical air- and moisture-sensitive NMR analysis. Its Soret coefficient S(T) has been measured by transient holographic grating technique. Its synthesis,13C NMR, IR and MS spectra have been reported.

Application

Benzene-d6 (C6D6) may be used in the following:
  • Synthesis of isotopically labeled samples.
  • As a 1H and 13C-NMR solvent.
  • In the internal calibration of benzene stock solution.
