Elemental analysis molecular weight determination

The high activating power of the furoxan ring in nucleophilic addition has also been observed by Bailey et al.2 9 in 7-nitro-l,2,5-oxadiazolo[3,4-c]-pyridine 3-oxide, a nitropyrido[3,4-c]furoxan that easily undergoes covalent addition of water by nucleophilic attack at the position para to the nitro group. The structure of the covalent hydrate is supported by elemental analysis, osmometric molecular weight determination, and H-NMR spectra in DMSO-[Pg.429]

The elucidation and confirmation of structure should include physical and chemical information derived from applicable analyses, such as (a) elemental analysis (b) functional group analysis using spectroscopic methods (i.e., mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance) (c) molecular weight determinations (d) degradation studies (e) complex formation determinations (f) chromatographic studies methods using HPLC, GC, TLC, GLC (h) infrared spectroscopy (j) ultraviolet spectroscopy (k) stereochemistry and (1) others, such as optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) or X-ray diffraction. 

Elemental analyses and molecular weight determinations (VPO) were done by K. Bernhardt Laboratories, Engelskirchen, West Germany. The IR analysis was made with a Nicolet FT-interferometer from chloroform or methylene chloride casts in the absorbance mode. 

We have recently determined the structural parameters and composition of some asphaltene samples obtained from the Synthoil and Exxon Donor Solvent (EDS) liquefaction processes. The particular EDS sample used was sufficiently volatile for analysis by ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry, so we could obtain very detailed data on its composition in terms of the distribution of individual carbon-number homologs. Information from this approach, integrated with data from NMR, IR, molecular weight determinations, elemental analyses, and separations furnished us with a novel and detailed insight into the nature of these asphaltenes. The excellent agreement observed between composites calculated from the detailed MS data, where available, and the averages determined by NMR, IR, and elemental analyses reinforces the credibility of the approaches used and allows extrapolations to heavier samples that are not amenable to detailed MS characterization. 

This sequence of monomer addition and molecular weight determination by GPC was continued until the maximum molecular weight was observed. At this point, stirring was stopped, and the reaction mixture was filtered through a sintered glass funnel to separate the polymer solution from the urea byproduct. The solution was then added dropwise to 1 L of well-stirred methanol, from which a white, rubbery polymer precipitated. After decantation, the polymer was dried at 80 °C in a vacuum oven. Table III lists the yield and elemental analysis. 

Alkoxides. Exposure of the pentavalent alkoxide complex U(OCH2CH3)5 to oxygen was first reported to produce a small amount of a volatile and thermally unstable red liquid byproduct. Elemental analysis of the compound was consistent with the stoichiometry U(0CH2CH3)6, and molecular weight determinations suggested a monomeric structure in benzene. Improved yields of U(OCH2CH3)fs have been achieved using other reaction routes (see Equations (45) to (47)) ... 

Upon qualitative elemental analysis, an alkane gives negative tests for all elements except carbon and hydrogen. A quantitative combustion, if one is carried out, shows the absence of oxygen taken with a molecular weight determination, the combustion gives the molecular formula, C H2 +2 which is that of an alkane. 

Giuco e has the molecular formula CaH O, as shown by elemental analysis and molecular weight determination. In Fig. 34.1 is summarized other evidence about its structure evidence consistent with the idea that (+> glucose is... 

The amino acid lysine is found, on elemental analysis, to contain 19.17% nitrogen (at. wt. 14.01). A molecular weight determination by the osmotic-pressure method yields an approximate value of 150. Calculate a more accurate value of the molecular weight. 

The polymers were insoluble in most organic solvents making their structural and molecular weight determinations difficult. However, on the basis of infrared spectroscopy studies and thermal analysis we have deduced that the above reactions do result in higher molecular weight materials. Elemental analysis in conjunction with IR spectroscopy data indicate that the repeat unit in the PUBs have the possible structure I shown in Scheme 5. 

Analysis of plastics is a complex task and involves preliminary tests, determination of nonmetallic and metallic elements, analysis of functional groups and double bonds, molecular weight determinations, chemical compositional analysis, sequence length distribution in copolymers, determination of tacti-city and branching in polymers, and analysis of additives. Because of the great variety in structures in commercially produced plastics, the number of methods that can be applied for their analysis is considerable.
