Anisotropy and asymmetry of diamagnetic susceptibility, quadrupole coupling constants and molecular motion of fluorene and the fluorenyl carbanion

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Fluorene and the fluorenyl carbanion, both perdeuterated, have been studied by 2H N.M.R. at 11·7 Tesla. From deuteron splittings and spin-spin relaxation times, information is obtained about the anisotropy and asymmetry of the diamagnetic susceptibility, the quadrupole coupling constants of the different deuterium nuclei and the rotational diffusion constants of the two species.
