What is Benzene-D6 ?

Chemical properties

Benzene-d6 is a flammable, viscous organic solvent with the formula C6D6. It is used to dissolve a wide range of compounds and has a density of 0.87 g/cm3 (20 oC).The 1H-NMR spectrum of deuterated benzene comprises of a singlet at 7.16 ppm (vs. TMS). The 13C-NMR spectrum consists of a triplet of equal intensity at 128.39 ppm (vs. TMS). The water resonance is at 0.5 ppm. Benzene-d6 is slightly hygroscopic and thus some care should be taken to minimize contact of the solvent with atmospheric water.
