    Hi
    I will like to know the 15N NMR signal for tetrabutylammoinium iodide. DO you expect this value to differ from those of propyltributylammonium iodide and tributylammonium iodide?
    Thank you

    1. The 15N chemical shift for tetrabutylammoinium iodide should be in the same region as propyltributylammonium iodide. ACD-Labs calculate this value as -314.26 ppm refering to nitromethan or 65.94 ppm refering to liquid ammonia.
