Polarographic and nuclear quadrupole resonance studies of some organic iodo compounds. II. The dependence of the half-step potential on the ionic character of the carbon-iodine bond

Abstract

Nuclear quadrupole coupling constant data are utilized to determine the ionic character of the carbon-iodine bond in a number of substituted iodobenzenes and related to the half-step potential of the corresponding substituted iodobenzene. A semi-empirical discussion using the Kirkwood-Westheimer relation for the interaction of poles in a continuous medium is given as the basis for such a relationship.
