FT-Raman spectra were determined for atactic PS, poly(2,6-dimethyl-l,4-phenylene ether) (PPE) and then-blends. Composition-dependent spectral variations of the blends were analysed using generalised 2-D correlation spectroscopy to study the conformational changes and blend interactions. The 2D synchronous correlation analysis was able to discriminate between the bands of PS and those of PPE, and was able to detect bands that were not readily identifiable in ID spectra. The main chain conformation of PS undergoes a drastic change on blending with PPE (57). 

There are many current techniques used for assisting in near-infrared band assignments, including Darling-Dennisotf resonance, deuteration, polarization, and two-dimensional (2-D) correlation spectroscopy. The scope of this book is practical rather than theoretical, and so the techniques are mentioned here for further investigation by the reader. 

Two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy is used for detailed band assignment work. The technique allows spectral information to be analyzed that is much richer in information content than one-dimensional data. Cross-correlation analysis methods are applied to spectral combinations of NIR with NIR, or NIR and mid-infrared, allowing band assignments to be more easily accomplished. An excellent review paper describing the mathematics used in 2-D correlation spectroscopy along with several examples of generalized 2-D NIR and 2-D NIR-mid-infrared (MIR) heterospectral correlation analysis are introduced with 42 references by Ozaki and Wang. °... 

Nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) difference measurements were used to assign structure 79 for the product of reaction of diphenylnitrile imine with 5-ethylsulfonyl-2-methyl(27/)pyridazinone. Thus in the H NMR spectrum the ot/, o-protons of the arylhydrazino moiety (which were identified by two-dimensional heteronuclear multiple quantum correlation (2-D HMQC) spectroscopy) were shown in differential NOE (DNOE) experiment to be significantly enhanced on irradiation of pyridazine hydrogen H-7, proving their steric proximity <2000JST13>. 

A more sophisticated IR spectroscopy is 2-D correlation IR spectroscopy. This spectroscopy follows the same measurement principles as 2-D NMR COSY spectroscopy (for details see, e.g., [17, 18]) and results, apart from better resolution, in simplification of complex spectra and enhancement of the spectral resolution by spreading the peaks along the second dimension. Furthermore, assignment of bands can be done and the interaction mechanism determined by analyzing the coupling of bands. 

Of course, you can find yourself looking at spectra that are complex enough to warrant numerous decoupling experiments for elucidation. In these circumstances, running a single correlated spectroscopy (COSY) 2-D experiment as an alternative might well be the answer. A full explanation of the theoretical... 

The total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY) techniques, which come in both 1- and 2-D versions, offer an alternative to 1-D spin decoupling and COSY methods for establishing through-bond connectivities. The important difference between the two is that TOCSY methods allow easy identification of isolated spin systems. For example, using our trusty morpholine compound once more, you can see that it is possible to identify the -CH2-CH2- spin system between the nitrogen and the oxygen atoms, these hetero-atoms, effectively isolating the protons from all others in the molecule. 

In order to combat this, the rotating frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY) techniques can be employed. An in-depth discussion of how this technique works is outside the remit of this book but suffice to say, in the ROESY methods (1- and 2-D), NOE data is acquired as if in a weak r.f. field rather than in a large, static magnetic field and this assures that all NOEs are present and positive, irrespective of tumbling rate and magnet size. It is possible that some TOCSY correlations can break through in ROESY spectra but these will have opposite phase to the genuine ROESY correlations and so should therefore not be a problem - unless they should overlap accidentally with them. A 2-D ROESY spectrum of the naphthalene compound is shown below (Spectrum 8.6).

The relative stereochemistry of hyperaspine 93 was determined by 2-D NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometry (MS) methods. It has a m-fused bicyclic conformation 93a <2001TL4621>. The trans-fused one is disfavored by an axial pentyl group at C-8 and by a destabilizing dipole-dipole interaction between the N- and O-atoms, which does not exist in the alternative //.(-conformation. The geminal coupling constant of C( 1 )H2 in 93 (11.0 Hz), and that of its 6-hydroxy derivative (11.2 Hz), indicates that they exist preferentially in / //-conformations, whereas their 6-epimers adopt trans-conformations (9.3 and 8.4 Hz, respectively) <2005EJ01378>. Nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY) studies also confirmed the stereochemistry of 93 by the marked nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) correlation between H-3 and H-4a <20030L5063>. 

Aryl derivatives of thieno[3,2-f]pyridines, 36 and 37, have been the subject of two-dimensional (2-D) NMR studies. Phase-sensitive nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY) and correlation spectroscopy (COSY) experiments confirm the nonplanar conformation of the two aromatic ring systems <1999SAA1035>.

New techniques for data analysis and improvements in instrumentation have now made it possible to carry out stmctural and conformational studies of biopolymers including proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids. NMR, which may be done on noncrystalline materials in solution, provides a technique complementary to X-ray diffraction, which requires crystals for analysis. One-dimensional NMR, as described to this point, can offer structural data for smaller molecules. But proteins and other biopolymers with large numbers of protons will yield a very crowded spectrum with many overlapping lines. In multidimensional NMR (2-D, 3-D, 4-D), peaks are spread out through two or more axes to improve resolution. The techniques of correlation spectroscopy (COSY), nuclear Overhausser effect spectroscopy (NOESY), and transverse relaxation-optimized spectroscopy (TROSY) depend on the observation that nonequivalent protons interact with each other. By using multiple-pulse techniques, it is possible to perturb one nucleus and observe the effect on the spin states of other nuclei. The availability of powerful computers and Fourier transform (FT) calculations makes it possible to elucidate structures of proteins up to 40,000 daltons in molecular mass and there is future promise for studies on proteins over 100,000...
