NMR spectroscopy is commonly used for the identification of isomeric tetrazolium salts. There are significant differences in the chemical shifts of C-methyl and ^-methyl protons as shown in Table 4 for compounds 128

and 129,187 Table 5 for 130—135,219 and in Table 6 for 136 and 137.180-215 The 5-ring proton chemical shifts in 5-unsubstituted tetrazolium as well as the ortho proton in phenyl substituents at the 5-position are sensitive to N-substituents and substitution patterns as shown in Table 7 for 138 and 139 and in Table 8 for 140 and 141.181-218
Carbon-13 NMR has been used in the study of thiolate and disub — stituted tetrazolium derivatives.217-219 The chemical shifts of both the substituent and ring carbons show strong sensitivity to substitutents as shown in Table 9 for 130—135.219 Tetrazolium salts have also been studied by nitrogen-15 NMR (Table 10).220’221
