A new method for the measurement of frequency separations in high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectra is presented. The method, which involves comparison of two points on the line profile, is shown to be capable of an internal precision of at least 2 mHz. Line separations measured in this way are shown to give results consistent with those obtained using a double-lock spectrometer and a nuclear double side-band oscillator.

Some general properties of ABCX -type spectra are discussed. It is shown that it is possible to deduce from such spectra the relative signs of all inter-nuclear coupling constants. Analyses are presented of the hydrogen (proton) spectra from the vinyl groups of vinyl fluoride and 3-methylbut-l-ene, and of the fluorine spectrum of the former molecule. It is shown that all HF coupling constants in vinyl fluoride are of the same sign as the cis and trans HH coupling constants.
