Nuclear magnetic resonance determined using

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance was used to determine the molecular structure of four copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride. The spectra were used to determine both monomer composition and sequence distribution. Good agreement was found between the chlorine analysis determined from wet analysis and the chlorine analysis determined by the C nmr method. The number average sequence length for vinylidene chloride measured from the spectra fit first order Markovian statistics rather than Bernoullian. The chemical shifts in these copolymers as well as their changes in areas as a function of monomer composition enable these copolymers to serve as model... 

For simple poly(a-olefins) of practical importance, the chain stereostructure can be quantitatively determined at least at the stereotriad level [1], Longer configurational sequences can be observed by nuclear magnetic resonance, particularly using larger magnetic fields or 13C NMR spectroscopy or both. The chemical shifts due to CH3,CH2 and CH carbons are widely spaced. It is mainly the chemical shift of the pendant CH3 group carbon that is utilised for sequential analysis.

The field of application for the isotope dilution method with radioactive tags, extends to measurements using stable isotope. Mass spectrometry or nuclear magnetic resonance are used to determine the variations in the isotopic concentrations. Chemical labelling using externally introduced tags consists of the addition to a sample of the same analyte but containing a stable isotope (e.g. H, C, N) as an internal standard. This method is as much used for molecular species as for atoms (around 60 have stable isotopes). 

Proton chemical shift data from nuclear magnetic resonance has historically not been very informative because the methylene groups in the hydrocarbon chain are not easily differentiated. However, this can be turned to advantage if a polar group is present on the side chain causing the shift of adjacent hydrogens downfteld. High resolution C-nmr has been able to determine position and stereochemistry of double bonds in the fatty acid chain (62). Broad band nmr has also been shown useful for determination of soHd fat content. 

Nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) is a nondestmctive means of measuring the amount of hydrogen in various materials for example, nmr has been used to determine the hydrogen content of coals (251). 

Analytical methods iaclude thin-layer chromatography (69), gas chromatography (70), and specific methods for determining amine oxides ia detergeats (71) and foods (72). Nuclear magnetic resonance (73—75) and mass spectrometry (76) have also been used. A frequentiy used procedure for iadustrial amine oxides (77) iavolves titratioa with hydrochloric acid before and after conversion of the amine to the quaternary ammonium salt by reaction with methyl iodide. A simple, rapid quaHty control procedure has been developed for the deterrniaation of amine oxide and unreacted tertiary amine (78). 

Among the modem procedures utilized to estabUsh the chemical stmcture of a molecule, nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) is the most widely used technique. Mass spectrometry is distinguished by its abiUty to determine molecular formulas on minute amounts, but provides no information on stereochemistry. The third most important technique is x-ray diffraction crystallography, used to estabUsh the relative and absolute configuration of any molecule that forms suitable crystals. Other physical techniques, although useful, provide less information on stmctural problems. 

Nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectroscopy is useful for determining quaternary stmcture. The N-nmr can distinguish between quaternary ammonium compounds and amines, whether primary, secondary, or tertiary, as well as provide information about the molecular stmcture around the nitrogen atom. The C-nmr can distinguish among oleic, tallow, and hydrogenated tallow sources (194). 

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...
