It is well known that substitution of deuterium for hydrogen (H/D substitution) leads to an upfield shift for the /sup 13/C nucleus directly bonded to the hydrogen of i.e., to positive /sup 1//triangle//sup 13/C(H/D) shifts, defined as the difference between the shielding constants (/sigma//sup 13/C(D) - /sigma//sup 13/C(H)). In order to further study the effect of substituents on the value of /sup 1//triangle//sup 13/C(H/D), we have measured the /sup 13/C isotopic shift in iodoform, where we might expect a substantial reduction in the value of /sup 1//triangle//sup 13/C(H/D). The value obtained for the isotopic shift in iodoform, compared with the isotopic shift in methane, leads to the conclusion that each substitution of iodine for hydrogen is accompanied by a decrease in the isotope shift by about 0.18 ppm.
