Abstract
The 1H NMR spectra of the charge-transfer complex of 1-ethyl-4-methoxycarbonylpyridinium iodide have been recorded in various dipolar aprotic solvents. An attempt is made to interpret the chemical shifts in terms of Buckingham's reaction field equation for spherical cavities. A linear dependence has been found between the δ(2,6) values and the square of dielectric function for a spherical cavity, which confirms the validity of the Buckingham equation for this class of compounds.
