Until the second half of the twentieth century, the structure of a substance—a newly discovered natural product, for example—was determined using information obtained from chemical reactions. This information included the identification of functional groups by chemical tests, along with the results of experiments in which the substance was broken down into smaller, more readily identifiable fragments. Typical of this approach is the demonstration of the presence of a double bond in an alkene by catalytic hydrogenation and subsequent determination of its location by ozonolysis. After-considering all the available chemical evidence, the chemist proposed a candidate structure (or structures) consistent with the observations. Proof of structure was provided either by converting the substance to some already known compound or by an independent synthesis.

The substantial difference between these two chromatograms was a clear proof that CSP 13 interacted differently with the mixtures of l and d enantiomers. This also indicated the presence of at least one pair of enantiomers that interacted selectively with the CSP. Unfortunately, a tedious synthesis of 16 sublibraries (eight l and eight d) containing decreasing numbers of blocks had to be prepared to deconvolute the best selector. A comparison of the chromatograms obtained from these sublibraries in each deconvolution step was used again, and those selectors for which no difference was observed were eliminated. This procedure enabled the identification... 

The direct proof of hydride formation in situ in a reaction vessel is in principle possible. One can follow changes of resistance (of a film, a wire, etc.) or of magnetic susceptibility of a catalyst. Hydride identification by means of the X-ray diffraction method requires a catalyst sample to be taken out from a reaction vessel, and eventually frozen in order to avoid a rapid decomposition of the hydride under ambient conditions (67). 

If color reactions occur these serve to help characterize the substance. They can only ever act as a pointer to the presence of a substance, but never as proof even when accompanied by a separation process. Unequivocal identification requires a mosaic of many pieces of information (h/ f values, color reactions UV/VIS, IR, Raman, mass spectra etc). 

It is only since 1980 that in situ spectroscopic techniques have been developed to obtain identification of the adsorbed intermediates and hence of reliable reaction mechanisms. These new infrared spectroscopic in situ techniques, such as electrochemically modulated infrared reflectance spectroscopy (EMIRS), which uses a dispersive spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared reflectance spectroscopy, or a subtractively normalized interfacial Fourier transform infrared reflectance spectroscopy (SNIFTIRS), have provided definitive proof for the presence of strongly adsorbed species (mainly adsorbed carbon monoxide) acting as catalytic poisons. " " Even though this chapter is not devoted to the description of in situ infrared techniques, it is useful to briefly note the advantages and limitations of such spectroscopic methods. 

Identification of the chemical nature of these adducts is, however, possible only by chromatographic comparison with standards prepared by reacting the ultimate carcinogens with DNA. Proof of identity by co-chromatography should be undertaken using several chromatographic systems which depend for their separation upon different properties of the adduct molecules derivatization prior to reanalysis may be included. 

As has already been discussed (Section m.B.3) we were able to demonstrate that the three C3H2 isomers cyclopropenylidene (2), propargylene (36), and vinylidenecarbene (37), interconvert photochemically in low-temperature matrices. Unlike 36 vinylidenecarbene (37) was predicted to be a singlet.108-110 To aid the spectroscopic identification of S-37 we calculated (MP2/6-31G ) IR frequencies and intensities of this species.26 Comparison with the experimental IR spectrum (most intense band at 1952 cm-1) confirmed the allenic structure S-37. For T-37 a completely different IR spectrum was expected. An additional structural proof for S-37 was its reversible transformation into the other two C3H2 isomers S-2 and T-36. 

Accidentally, one proof for the migration mechanism stems from the polyketone model work and we will present it here. When the two dents of the bidentate ligand are only slightly inequivalent, be it sterically or electronically, this would allow the identification of the sites during migration or insertion. In order to do this we need two phosphorus ligands that are very...

In 2000 the Miller group provided a proof-of-principle study of Pd pi-allyl chemistry for library selection in the presence of a biomolecule [44]. In this approach, Pd(0) chemistry was employed to generate a library of cyclopentene-1,4-diesters in halogenated solvent (Fig. 1.10). This was allowed to equilibrate across a dialysis membrane with an enzyme target (pepsin) in buffered aqueous solution. LC-MS analysis of the library allowed identification of compound 24 as a library member amplified in the presence... 

Many of the early proof of concept DCC experiments were carried out on a somewhat ad hoc basis. Several authors quickly came to the realization that it would be useful to develop methodology for simulating DCLs, both as a guide to experimental design and as a way to resolve the question of whether screening a DCL really leads to the identification of the... 

The products of photochemical rearrangements are occasionally quite different from what one may intuitively expect and this creates difficulty in their identification. In such cases, computational chemistry is perhaps our only resort. Several possible structures can be screened computationally with rather little cost in terms of time, effort, and money. Unfortunately, computational chemistry cannot predict a priori the structure of the unknown. However, if a good match between theoretically derived and experimental IR spectrum is found, then this constitutes a strong case and often is taken as proof of identification.
