Deuterated dichloromethane

DichloromethaneDeuterated dichloromethane (CD2Cl2) is a form (called an isotopologue) of dichloromethane (DCM, CH2Cl2) in which the hydrogen atoms ('H') are replaced with deuterium (heavy hydrogen) isotope ('D'). Deuterated DCM is not a common solvent used in NMR spectroscopy as it is expensive compared to deuterated chloroform.
