INDEX spectroscopy, definition

When simple Hquids like naphtha are cracked, it may be possible to determine the feed components by gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (gc/ms) (30). However, when gas oil is cracked, complete analysis of the feed may not be possible. Therefore, some simple definitions are used to characterize the feed. When available, paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics (PONA) content serves as a key property. When PONA is not available, the Bureau of Mines Correlation Index (BMCI) is used. Other properties like specific gravity, ASTM distillation, viscosity, refractive index. Conradson Carbon, and Bromine Number are also used to characterize the feed. In recent years even nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been... 

Analysis of NP-EO- o was made by UV-spectroscopy at 275 nm where the phenyl ring gives a strong absorption. The accuracy in the determination of the adsorption of NP-EO- o is about + 0.5 mg/g. The total surfactant concentration was determined by measuring the refractive index increment on a Jena differential refractometer. These measurements give the total surfactant adsorption with an accuracy of about 1 3 tagig. The SDS concentration was obtained from the difference (total surfactant - amount of NP-EO- o) and hence is definitely not known to an accuracy better than 3 mg/g. 

The definitive assignments of the H and C NMR spectra of artemisinin 17 and other analogs have been reported. The 7c,h coupling constant was employed as a reliable index of the configuration of the substituents on the 1,2,4-trioxane framework and, by dynamic NMR spectroscopy, the barriers to ring interconversion of various 1,2,4-trioxane derivatives were estimated. In addition, a series of strategies has been developed using one-dimensional (TD) and 2-D NMR spectroscopy for identification of the relative stereochemistry in an assembly of substituted antimalarial... 

Recent Brillouin spectroscopy measurements include those of Kumar, Renisch and Grimsditch [30] on uniaxially and biaxially stretched polypropylene films. Using the Ward aggregate model with a modified definition of molecular alignment enabled elastic anisotropy and refractive index data to be related quantitatively to molecular orientation. 

Beer s law applies where refractive index, scattering specular reflection at infinite-finite numbers of surfaces all obey the Fresnel formulas. A definite reflectance theory does not exist, as the convolution of an infinite number of integrals would be required to describe all the combined light interaction effects at all surfaces under varying conditions. Thus, Beer s law is often shown to illustrate the properties of NIR spectroscopy for lack of an ideal model. 

Terpenoids can be analyzed by the usual methods. For the volatile members of the family, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms) is a particularly useful tool. In laboratories (e.g., those in the major fragrance companies), which are accustomed to analyzing mixtures of volatile terpenoids, gc-ms is the major analytical technique employed and such laboratories will have extensive libraries of mass spectra of terpenoids to assist in this. However, the mass spectral fragmentation patterns of closely related terpenoids are often so similar as to render definitive identification by ms alone, impossible. For these materials and those for which there is no reference (e.g., compounds newly isolated from nature), nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectroscopy is the analytical tool of choice. Physical techniques, e.g., density, refractive index, and optical rotation, are relatively inexpensive and prove useful in quality control.
