Abstract: In this paper, 1H NMR study on fourteen isoflavones with various p substituents on B ring is reported. The effects of substituents on the chemical shifts of A, B and C ring protons are discussed. Unambiguous assignments of unsubstituted B ring 1H resonance spectra were made with the aid of superconductive NMR spectroanalysis. There is a linear relationship between the chemical shifts of B ring protons and the substituent parameters. The chemical shifts of 2'(6')-1H and 3'(5')-1H show a linear correlation with Hammett constants σp and substituent parameter S0 respectively. The resonance shifts of 3'(5')-1H arise from the electron and magnetic anisotropy effects, while the resonance shifts of 2'(6')-1H respond to the electron effects of the substituents primarily.
