19. Similar results are observed in CDCl3 and 1% CD3CN/99% CDCl3 (i.e., p-XC6H4OH, X = H (3598 and 184 cm-1), Br (3596 and 188 cm-1), CN (3582 and 227 cm-1), NO2 (3580 and 240 cm-1), and 2 (3555 and 320 cm-1) where the values in parentheses are ν and Δν, respectively.
20. Separate plots for the meta and para derivatives do not lead to improved data fits.
