Mixtures, analysis spectroscopy

In chromatography-FTIR applications, in most instances, IR spectroscopy alone cannot provide unequivocal mixture-component identification. For this reason, chromatography-FTIR results are often combined with retention indices or mass-spectral analysis to improve structure assignments. In GC-FTIR instrumentation the capillary column terminates directly at the light-pipe entrance, and the flow is returned to the GC oven to allow in-line detection by FID or MS. Recently, a multihyphenated system consisting of a GC, combined with a cryostatic interfaced FT1R spectrometer and FID detector, and a mass spectrometer, has been described [197]. Obviously, GC-FTIR-MS is a versatile complex mixture analysis technique that can provide unequivocal and unambiguous compound identification [198,199]. Actually, on-line GC-IR, with... 

HPLC-UV-NMR can now be considered to be a routine analytical technique for pharmaceutical mixture analysis and for many studies in the biomedical field. HPLC-UV-NMR-MS is becoming more routine with a considerable number of systems now installed worldwide, but the chromatographic solvent systems are limited to those compatible with both NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The increased use of HPLC-UV-IR-NMR-MS is possible, but it is unlikely to become widespread, and the solvent problems are more complex. The future holds the promise of new technical advances to improve efficiency, and to enhance routine operation. These approaches include the use of small-scale separations, such as capillary electrochromatography, greater automation, and higher sensitivity and lower NMR detection limits through the use of NMR detectors cooled to cryogenic temperatures.

Applications of pattern recognition methodology to chemical problems were first reported in the 1960 s (20,21) with studies of mass spectra. Since then papers have described work in a variety of areas (22,23) including mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, electrochemistry, materials science and mixture analysis, and the modeling of chemical experiments. Diagnosis of pathological conditions from sets of measurements made on complex biological mixtures, e.g., serum, have been reported (24). The successes in these areas have led to the belief that these methods should prove useful in the development of structure-activity relations. 

Recently, the use of pulsed-field gradient (PFG) technology to obtain diffusion coefficients of molecules has been demonstrated as a useful technique for mixture analysis (53). Unlike any other 2D experiment, size-resolved or diffusion-resolved NMR assigns the resonances based on the diffusion coefficient for each proton (or other spin) in the molecule and therefore can be used to distinguish resonances arising from different molecules (63-70) (Fig. 22). A method that involves the use of PFG and TOCSY, called diffusion-encoded spectroscopy (DECODES), simplifies mixture analysis by NMR (71). The combination of PFG and TOCSY decodes the spin systems, allowing individual components in complicated mixtures to be assigned. A typical DECODES spectrum obtained in this manner is shown in Fig. 23. The use of TOCSY aids the calculation of the diffusion coefficient and determination of molecular identity.

A slurry of 1 (1.9500 g, 6.2 mmol of cobalt iodide 0.5009 g, 12.8 mmol of potassium 0.7878g, 6.2 mmol of naphthalene 20 ml of THF) was treated with 5.2331 g (19.5 mmol) of diiodomethane and 0.0714g of -tridecane (GC standard). After 14h ethylene was identified by mass spectroscopy in the gases above the reaction mixture. Analysis of the reaction mixture by GC showed that 57% of the diiodomethane remained unchanged.

Infrared spectroscopy is ideally suited to the qualitative analysis of polymer starting materials, finished products, and the quantification of components in polymer mixtures. FTIR spectroscopy is reliable, fast and cost-effective. This chapter describes several approaches to the quantitative measurement and analysis of IR spectra of typical polymer samples, particularly for the identification of hydrogen...

The preferred quantitative deterrnination of traces of acetylene is gas chromatography, which permits an accurate analysis of quantities much less than 1 ppm. This procedure has been highly developed for air poUution studies (88) (see Airpollution control methods). Other physical methods, such as infrared and mass spectroscopy, have been widely used to determine acetylene in various mixtures. 

Instmmental methods of analysis provide information about the specific composition and purity of the amines. QuaUtative information about the identity of the product (functional groups present) and quantitative analysis (amount of various components such as nitrile, amide, acid, and deterruination of unsaturation) can be obtained by infrared analysis. Gas chromatography (gc), with a Hquid phase of either Apiezon grease or Carbowax, and high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc), using siHca columns and solvent systems such as isooctane, methyl tert-huty ether, tetrahydrofuran, and methanol, are used for quantitative analysis of fatty amine mixtures. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr), both proton ( H) and carbon-13 ( C), which can be used for quaHtative and quantitative analysis, is an important method used to analyze fatty amines (8,81). 

Microwave spectroscopy is used for studyiag free radicals and ia gas analysis (30). Much laboratory work has been devoted to molecules of astrophysical iaterest (31). The technique is highly sensitive 10 mole may suffice for a spectmm. At microwave resolution, frequencies are so specific that a single line can unambiguously identify a component of a gas mixture. Tabulations of microwave transitions are available (32,33). Remote atmospheric sensing (34) is illustrated by the analysis of trace CIO, O, HO2, HCN, and N2O at the part per trillion level ia the stratosphere, usiag a ground-based millimeter-wave superheterodyne receiver at 260—280 GH2 (35). 

Principal component analysis has been used in combination with spectroscopy in other types of multicomponent analyses. For example, compatible and incompatible blends of polyphenzlene oxides and polystyrene were distinguished using Fourier-transform-infrared spectra (59). Raman spectra of sulfuric acid/water mixtures were used in conjunction with principal component analysis to identify different ions, compositions, and hydrates (60). The identity and number of species present in binary and tertiary mixtures of polycycHc aromatic hydrocarbons were deterrnined using fluorescence spectra (61). 

Raman Spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy is an excellent method for the analysis of deuterium containing mixtures, particularly for any of the diatomic H—D—T molecules. For these, it is possible to predict absolute light scattering intensities for the rotational Raman lines. Hence, absolute analyses are possible, at least in principle. The scattering intensities for the diatomic hydrogen isotope species is comparable to that of dinitrogen, N2, and thus easily observed. 

The isoxazolidine ring exists primarily as an envelope (77AHQ2l)207) and the nitrogen lone pair can occupy an axial or equatorial position. Photoelectronic spectroscopy is a useful tool to determine conformational analysis of molecules possessing vicinal electron lone-pairs. Rademiacher and Frickmann (78TL841) studied isoxazolidine and 2-methyl- and 2-t-butyl-isoxazolidine and found mixtures of equatorial and axial (e/a) compounds. The ratios of H, Me and Bu in the efa position were 1 3, 4 1 and 10 1, respectively.
