“…18,[27][28][29][30][31][32] Four characteristic peaks were observed at 123, 137, 141, 148 (shoulder) and 158 ppm relative to TMS. Clear peak assignment for each carbon could be made: peak at 158 ppm and a shoulder at 148 ppm (non-protonated carbons 10 and 7, respectively), peaks around 140 ppm (benzoid carbons C (8,9) at 141 ppm, and quinoid carbons C(5,6) at 137.7 ppm), peak at 123 ppm and a shoulder at 113 ppm (benzoid carbons C(1,2) and C (3,4), respectively). Compared with the spectra observed in CPANi, the spectra for HCPANi are significantly better resolved and no other small peaks or shoulders related to defect sites are appeared in the spectra.…”
