JMARF3 1090-7807 10.1006/jmre.1997.1260 129, 207 (1997); and Ref., the strongest dipolar couplings in 5CB are: Protons at the α -, β -, γ -, and δ-C H2 of the alkyl chain (5482, 3565, 3183, and 2122 Hz) and between the ortho protons at the benzene rings (-4478 Hz). In a second level come the interactions that couple neighboring protons at different benzene rings (-1741 Hz), protons at the αC H2 group and the nearest benzene ring (1121 Hz), and couplings between neighboring methylene protons (1700 Hz average). The remaining couplings are less than 400 Hz.
