Methanol spectrum

Fig. 2. Time resolved fluorescence spectra of all-trans PRSB in methanol (black) and octanol (grey) for a) t<50 fs and b) t>50 fs. The intensity of the octanol spectra is adjusted the methanol spectra. The spectra are not corrected for self-absorption (for >19.500 cm 1), or for the detector response function. A residual signal appearing at energies <14.000 cm"1 is due to incomplete background subtraction (see above).

Some substances only give clear spectra in diluted alkaline solution (0.1 M sodium hydroxide), and in such cases only that spectrum is shown. For those spectra a table has been included. Other substances are not sufficiently soluble in water, in which case only a methanol spectrum is shown. 

Protic solvents always have more complex infrared spectra because of the presence of hydrogen bonding in the liquid state. In methanol, this involves interaction of the acidic proton on the OH group in one molecule with the oxygen atom in an adjacent molecule (fig. 5.15). The infrared spectrum shows a wide band centered at 3346 cm which is due to the -OH stretch. When methanol is dissolved as a dilute solute in carbon tetrachloride, this band is sharp and appears at 3644 cm . An -OH bending mode appears at 1449 cm. Another broad band due to -OH out-of-plane deformation is centered at 663 cm. The other features of the methanol spectrum are due to the vibrational modes of the CH3- group or to skeletal vibrations [27]. 

As discussed in the Introduction to this paper, different viscosity versus concentration behavior is observed for SFS solutions in toluene/methanol and in DMF. Folyelectrolyte behavior is observed only in the latter solvent. The ESR spectrum of a 2.65 mole % Mn-SPS in these two solvents was studied at various concentrations. For both lvents, the hyperfine structure characteristic of isolated Mn ions was observed in very dilute solutions and at concentrations for which Lundberg and Phillips(10) observed strong intermolecular interactions. The ESR data indlcat that in dilute solution in both DMF and toluene/methanol, the Mn exists mainly as Isolated cations. In addition, the IR spectra indicated that the cation is removed from the anion to a similar degree in both solvents. Yet, a polyelectrolyte effect is observed experimentally only in DMF solutions. Although there was some dipole-dipole broadening of the toluene/methanol spectrum, the line width and the g-factor (g 2,000) in both cases were ldent fal. The g-factor of 2.000 is characteristic of an isolated Mn in solution ). 

In this text, we shall emphasize compounds with molecular ions that can be identi-hed or deduced with reasonable certainty. If the molecular ion is present, it must have the highest m/z in the spectrum, excluding the effects of isotopes. Examples are shown for methane (Eig. 10.2, Table 10.2), methanol (Fig. 10.3, Table 10.3), and benzene (Eig. 10.4, Table 10.1). In each case, the molecular ion was very abundant and not difficult to identify. This is not always the case, as will be seen in later examples. The student should note that in most of the mass spectra used as examples, the molecular ion m/z value is marked by a black triangle on the x-axis. The x-axis is in units of m/z while the y-axis is relative abundance, even though these units are not marked on the spectra. The most intense peak is set to 100% and the rest of the peaks normalized to that peak. The structure of the compound is also shown on the spectrum, using a shorthand method that does not show the hydrogen atoms or the carbon atoms. The methanol spectrum (Fig. 10.3) demonstrates clearly that the molecular ion is not the base peak in the spectrum the fragment ion at m/z = 31 is the most abundant ion. 

Fig. 4.10 (A) and (B) show H spectra recorded at 500 MHz of a solution of 4-methoxy indole in 50 50 (v/v) D2O (containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid-dj) and methanol. Spectrum (A) shows the spectrum very soon after dissolution - the indole NH and 3 protons have already exchanged with solvent. Spectrum (B), obtained after a weekend in solution, shows the resonance of proton 5 has been completely exchanged. The 5 proton signal in (A) forms the X part of a tightly coupled ABX spin system.

Methanol has a UV cutoff of 205 nm. If it assumed that the A vs. X curve for methanol is similar to the curve for acetonitrile, then methanol should have little or no absorbance at 215 nm. The methanol spectrum shown in Figure 1.1 shows that this assumption is mcorrect In fact, the absorbance for methanol at 215 nm is greater than 0.3 AU. Closer examination of the methanol A vs. X curve leads to the conclusion that achieving a background absorbance contribution from methanol of <0.05 AU requires either woricing at 2 > 235 nm or limiting the methanol level in the solvent to <15% at A = 215 nm. This clearly can present a problem for solutes with either small molar absorptivy (c) values or chromophoric maxima of <235 nm.

Aryl-A-2-thiazoline-4-one absorbs at approximately 368 to 381 nm in methanol. The spectrum is unaffected by acidic medium, while in basic medium a large shift toward longer wavelength is observed (386). Other ultraviolet data are given in Refs. 390 and 419. 

Hydrolysis of a compound A in dilute aqueous hydrochlonc acid gave (along with methanol) a compound B mp 164—165°C Compound B had the molecular formula CigHig04 it exhibited hydroxyl absorption in its IR spectrum at 3550 cm but had no peaks in the carbonyl region What IS a reasonable structure for compound B" ... 

Brown and Lin reported a quantitative method for methanol based on its effect on the visible spectrum of methylene blue. In the absence of methanol, the visible spectrum for methylene blue shows two prominent absorption bands centered at approximately 610 nm and 660 nm, corresponding to the monomer and dimer, respectively. In the presence of methanol, the intensity of the dimer s absorption band decreases, and that of the monomer increases. For concentrations of methanol between 0 and 30% v/v, the ratio of the absorbance at 663 nm, Asss, to that at 610 nm, Asio, is a linear function of the amount of methanol. Using the following standardization data, determine the %v/v methanol in a sample for which Agio is 0.75 and Ag63 is 1.07. 

In many applications in mass spectrometry (MS), the sample to be analyzed is present as a solution in a solvent, such as methanol or acetonitrile, or an aqueous one, as with body fluids. The solution may be an effluent from a liquid chromatography (LC) column. In any case, a solution flows into the front end of a mass spectrometer, but before it can provide a mass spectrum, the bulk of the solvent must be removed without losing the sample (solute). If the solvent is not removed, then its vaporization as it enters the ion source would produce a large increase in pressure and stop the spectrometer from working. At the same time that the solvent is removed, the dissolved sample must be retained so that its mass spectrum can be measured. There are several means of effecting this differentiation between carrier solvent and the solute of interest, and thermospray is just one of them. Plasmaspray is a variant of thermospray in which the basic method of solvent removal is the same, but the number of ions obtained is enhanced (see below). 

A short-path distillation apparatus is used, the distillate (oxa-spiropentane plus dichloromethane) being trapped in a reeeiver placed in a methanol-dry ice bath cooled to — 80°. The checkers found it useful to drive out last traces of product by adding several milliliters of dichloromethane to the residual thick paste and distilling. The proton magnetic resonance spectrum (dichloromethane) shows an oetet at 8 0.85 and a singlet at S 3.00 in the ratio 4 2. 

The reaction mixture is diluted with 250 ml of water, the mixture is transferred to a 2 liter flask using methanol as a wash liquid, and the organic solvents are distilled at 20-25 mm using a rotary vacuum evaporator. The product separates as a solid and distillation is continued until most of the residual toluene has been removed. The solid is collected on a 90 cm, medium porosity, fritted glass Buchner funnel and washed well with cold water. After the material has been sucked dry, it is covered with a little cold methanol, the mixture is stirred to break up lumps, and the slurry is kept for 5 min. The vacuum is reapplied, the solid is rinsed with a little methanol followed by ether, and the material is air-dried to give 9.1 g (85%), mp 207-213° after sintering at ca. 198°. Reported mp 212-213°. The crude material contains 1.0-1.5% of unreduced starting material as shown by the UV spectrum. Further purification may be effected by crystallization from methanol. 

Like acridine, phenanthridine and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in methanol give a high yield of 1 1 1 molar adduct. Ultraviolet absorption spectrum comparisons show that this is best formulated as 9,10-dihydro-9-methoxy-10- (tran.s-l,2-dimethoxycarbonylvinyl) phenanthridine (142) rather than the corresponding phenanthridinium methoxide (143) under neutral conditions acidification changes the spectrum to that characteristic of the phenanthridinium cation. Crystallization of the adduct (142) from methanol containing 5-15% of water gave the betaine [(144) the positions of the ester and carboxylate groups have not been established], while in the presence... 

Many of the properties oj -hydroxypyridines are typical of phenols. It was long assumed that they existed exclusively in the hydroxy form, and early physical measurements seemed to confirm this. For example, the ultraviolet spectrum of a methanolic solution of 3-hydroxypyridine is very similar to that of the 3-methoxy analog, and the value of the dipole moment of 3-hydroxypyridine obtained in dioxane indicates little, if any, zwitterion formation. However, it has now become clear that the hydroxy form is greatly predominant only in solvents of low dielectric constant. Comparison of the pK values of 3-hydroxypyridine with those of the alternative methylated forms indicated that the two tautomeric forms are of comparable stability in aqueous solution (Table II), and this was confirmed using ultraviolet spectroscopy. The ratios calculated from the ultraviolet spectral data are in good agreement with those de-... 

Tile ultraviolet spectrum of 3-iiitro-l,8-iiaphthyridiiie in methanol A ax [m/A](log e) = 206 (4.06), 238 (4.47), 311 (3.68), and 323 (3.65) showed bathochromic effect of the long-wavelength bands of 10 and 5 m/A with respect to the parent 1,8-naphthyridine (87MI2). Tlie bathochromic effect of 3-nitro group in 1,8-naphthyridine was compared with the effects of some other substituents. 

In contrast to the aliphatic diazo compounds, which are invariably colored, all the diazirines so far prepared are colorless. The UV absorption of diazirines corresponds approximately to that of the aliphatic azo compounds. Diazirine shows in methanol an absorption maximum at 321 mja. The IR spectrum of the diazirines shows a band at ca. 1580 cm". ... 

After washing the combined extracts with ammonium chloride solution and water and working up in the usual way a white solid (IV) is obtained which after one recrystalli2ation from aqueous methanol has MP 242° to 243°C. The infrared spectrum of this compound indi-... 

A suspension of 4.00 g (6.75 mmol) of 3, 5 - bis-0-(p-nitrobenzoyl)-2 -deoxy-5-(trifluoro-methyDuridine in 250 ml of methanol was treated with 10 ml of diisopropylamine and refluxed until it had dissolved (about IB minutes), and the solution was concentrated. The dry residue was partitioned between 50 ml of chloroform and 50 ml of water. The chloroform layer was washed with 20 ml of water, and the combined aqueous layers were concentrated. A low ultraviolet extinction ( 7200 and 262 m/U pH 1) and the presence of isopropyl signals in the NMR spectrum (two singlets at 78.73 and B.B5) indicated the dry residue contained diisopropylamine, probably as a salt with the relatively acidic heterocyclic N-H in 14.
