Carbonyl group characterisation

Hydrazine and its alkylated derivatives are used as rocket fuels in organic chemistry, substituted phenylhydrazines are important in the characterisation of sugars and other compounds, for example aldehydes and ketones containing the carbonyl group C=0. 

Both aldehydes and ketones contain the carbonyl group, hence a general test for carbonyl compounds will Immediately characterise both classes of compounds. The preferred reagent is 2 4-dinilrophenylhydrazine, which gives sparingly soluble phenylhydrazones with carbonyl compounds ... 

Each catenane consists of two identical, interlocked 26-membered rings with a relatively small internal cavity (with dimensions of 4x6 A). This interlocked species was the first amide-catenane to be structurally characterised (although Hunter s and Vogtle s catenanes were reported earlier). The structure supported the proposal that the driving force for catenane formation is hydrogen bonding between the newly formed 1,3-diamine units and carbonyl groups of the acid... 

The analyst needs to select all carbonyl compounds from a set of available liquids. The characterisation test will need to be specific to carbonyl groups. NB The exact identity of the materials will not be obtained. 

Laser flash photolysis has also been used to study the photophysics and photochemistry of metallocene-containing cryptands and their complexes with rare earth eations [69]. The metallocene moiety was shown to act as an efficient centre for the radiationless deactivation of the lanthanide excited state. Detailed time-resolved studies permitted the characterisation of the coordination chemistry about Dy " within the cryptate and showed, once again, that the functions within the host cryptand primarily responsible for coordination of the guest cation were the amide carbonyl groups. 

An ESR study of the photolysis of a Re2(C0),o-Et3SiH system has been described and the rate constcuit for abstraction of H from EtjSiH by Re(CO)s measured. Photosubstitution of a carbonyl group in Re2(C0),o with P(OPh)3 gives four well-characterised products. The observed pattern of disubstituted cmd triply... 

The most important families of dyes are azoic and anthraquinonic ones. Azoic dyes are characterised by an azo bond (N=N) connected to aromatic rings or heterocycles, meanwhile anthraquinonic dyes are derivatives of substituted anthraquinone and have two carbonyl groups (C—O) in their structure. Various substitutes can be found, such as alkyl, amino, hydroxy, halogeno, sulphonate or more complex groups. The studied dye solutions have been prepared in water at a concentration of 50 mgL-1. The effect of pH on UV-visible spectra is pointed out. 

Diverse spectroscopic methods have been employed to characterise triterpenes. Ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy are not very useful techniques in elucidating the structure of triterpenes, but the former gives information about compounds with conjugated double bonds and the latter may provide some information about substituents like the hydroxyl group, ester carbonyl group or a,p-unsaturate carbonyl. Other physical data may be of interest to characterise new compounds, but the use of modem spectroscopic methods of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy (MS) are essential for the structural determination. 

Later stages of the decomposition are characterised by evolution of CO and aromatic species such as toluene, benzoic acid and terephthalic acid. It is also suggested that, unlike PET, there are no primary fragments from PBT-containing carbonyl groups, thus no acetalisation reactions are expected. 

Tables 1 and 2 list, respectively, the bi- and poly-nuclear complexes containing hetero-transition metal bonds that have been structurally characterised by -ray diffraction complexes are entered under the metal of earliest periodic group and arranged in order of (i) increasing group number of other metal(s), (11) Increasing nuclearlty (Table 2) and (111) decreasing number of carbonyl groups.
