The deuterium NMR spectrum of benzene-d 6 in a high field spectrometer (1 GHz protons) exhibits a magnetic field-induced deuterium quadrupolar splitting ν Δ . The magnitude of ν Δ observed for the central resonance is smaller than that observed for the 13 C satellite doublets ν ′ Δ . This difference,, is due to unresolved fine structure contributions to the respective resonances. We determine the origins of and simulate this difference, and report pulse sequences that exploit the connectivity of the peaks in the 13 C and 2 H spectra to determine the relative signs of the indirect coupling, CD
