Magnetic resonance spectroscopy regions

The reaction can be followed by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The original absorption for the vinyl proton disappears and two new absorption peaks appear, one in the vinyl region (ca. <5 6.5, chloroform-d) and the other in the methine region of the spectrum. There are two products formed, presumably the cis- and tfraws-isomers, in the ratio of 95 5, respectively. The checkers also obtained the same yield when the reaction quantities were doubled. 

Figure 24, presented originally by Belton (1995), illustrates the enormous range in distance scales that can be probed using various magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging techniques. Approximate distance ranges for molecular, microscopic, and macroscopic regions are provided for perspective on the left side of Figure 24. The criterion used for the demarcation between macroscopic and microscopic regions was based on the size of objects that are no longer visible with the naked or unaided eye, i.e., less than 40 xm (Hills, 1998).

The reduction of obtainable light-pulse durations down to subpicosecond pulses (halfwidth about 10 sec) allows fast transient phenomena which were not accessible before to be studied in the interaction of light with matter. One example is the extension of spin echoe-techniques, well known in nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectroscopy, to the photon echoes in the optical region.

There is evidence from nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and partial molar volume measurements153-154 which points to the possible existence of bound water in the micelle interior in the region of the first few CH2 groups in from the polar head groups. The hydrocarbon interior of the micelle may, therefore, be considered in terms of an outer region which may be penetrated by water and an inner region from which water is excluded. 

Radio and TV broadcasts use radio frequency radiation. In addition, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which causes transitions between nuclear spin states, uses radiation from this region. One typical NMR spectrometer operates at 2 X 108 Hz or 200 MHz (1.9 X 10 5 kcal/mol or 8 X 10 s kJ/mol). NMR spectroscopy is discussed in Chapter 14...

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) This technique is also referred to as magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging (MRS ) or volume-selective NMR spectroscopy, which basically combines MRI with NMR spectroscopy. Thus MRS allows conventional MRI study of a body region, while NMR spectroscopy provides information on the biomolecules in that same region. This is a powerful tool, which can be used to provide spectral data on metabolites including lactate, choline, creatinine and myoinositol.
