Nuclear magnetic resonance magnetization behavior

Transitions. Samples containing 50 mol % tetrafluoroethylene with ca 92% alternation were quenched in ice water or cooled slowly from the melt to minimise or maximize crystallinity, respectively (19). Internal motions were studied by dynamic mechanical and dielectric measurements, and by nuclear magnetic resonance. The dynamic mechanical behavior showed that the CC relaxation occurs at 110°C in the quenched sample in the slowly cooled sample it is shifted to 135°C. The P relaxation appears near —25°C. The y relaxation at — 120°C in the quenched sample is reduced in peak height in the slowly cooled sample and shifted to a slightly higher temperature. The CC and y relaxations reflect motions in the amorphous regions, whereas the P relaxation occurs in the crystalline regions. The y relaxation at — 120°C in dynamic mechanical measurements at 1 H2 appears at —35°C in dielectric measurements at 10 H2. The temperature of the CC relaxation varies from 145°C at 100 H2 to 170°C at 10 H2. In the mechanical measurement, it is 110°C. There is no evidence for relaxation in the dielectric data. 

A study on the effectiveness of the E-plastomers as impact modifiers for iPP was carried out in relation to the traditional modifier EPDM. In this study, the flow properties of the E-plastomer-iPP and EPDM-PP blends were also evaluated. The blends were analyzed by solid-state 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, microscopy (SEM), and DSC. The results showed that E-plastomer-PP and EPDM-PP blends present a similar crystallization behavior, which resulted in a similar mechanical performance of the blends. However, the E-plastomer-PP blend presents lower torque values than the EPDM-PP blend, which indicates a better processibility when E-plastomer is used as an impact modifier for iPP. 

The development and reports of methods for colorless chlorophyll derivative (RCCs, FCCs, and NCCs) analysis are relatively recent and the structures of the compounds are being elucidated by deduction from their chromatographic behaviors, spectral characteristics (UV-Vis absorbance spectra), mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The main obstacle is that these compounds do not accumulate in appreciable quantities in situ and, moreover, there are no standards for them. The determination of the enzymatic activities of red chlorophyll catabolite reductase (RCCR) and pheophorbide a monoxygenase (PAO) also helps to monitor the appearance of colorless derivatives since they are the key enzymes responsible for the loss of green color. ... 

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is used to study the behavior of the nuclei in a molecule when subjected to an externally applied magnetic field. Nuclei spin about the axis of the externally applied magnetic field and consequently possess an angular momentum. The group of nuclei most commonly exploited in the structural... 

In the introduction to Volume 1 of this series, the founding editors, J. N. Pitts, G. S. Hammond and W. A. Noyes, Jr. noted developments in a brief span of prior years that were important for progress in photochemistry flash photolysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, and electron spin resonance. A quarter of a century later, in Volume 14 (1988), the editors noted that since then two developments had been of prime significance the emergence of the laser from an esoteric possibility to an important light source, and the evolution of computers to microcomputers in common laboratory use of data acquisition. These developments strongly influenced research on the dynamic behavior of the excited state and other transients. 

A reevaluation of molecular structure of humic substances based on data obtained primarily from nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, and pyrolysis studies was presented by Sutton and Sposito (2005). The authors consider that humic substances are collections of diverse, relatively low molecular mass components forming dynamic associations stabilized by hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. These associations are capable of organizing into micellar structures in suitable aqueous environments. Humic components display contrasting molecular motional behavior and may be spatially segregated on a scale of nanometers. Within this new structural context, these components comprise any molecules... 

For the pressure studies, two phase" compact ion behavior is observed with an inflection point between 7 and 11 atms. For the aqueous solution studies, the hydraulic permeability K and the g-ratio are hardly effected by solute type (within experimental error). The solute diffusive permeability however, varies with solute type in good qualitative agreement with free energy parameters, infrared overtone shifts, and spin echo and continuous wave nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy results from the literature. 

Frei and co-workers also extended this reaction to other zeolites showing that almost identical behavior was observed in BaY, BaX, and in the K+ and Ba " forms of zeolite L [45,46]. Xiang et al. [47] have also studied the photooxidations of a series of 1-alkenes in the more acidic BaZSM-5 [48] and Ba- 3. The extensive polymerization of propylene in these zeolites demonstrates the detrimental effect of Bronsted acid sites on the reaction selectivity. These workers also used ex situ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) allowing more detailed... 

In the standard mathematical expressions for the contribution of quadrupolar relaxation to the relaxation rates of the quadrupolar nucleus (in nuclear magnetic resonance), rapid isotropic motion is assumed to occur. This behavior, in most cases, will not be true in the solid or liquid crystalline state ". ... 

Chemical constitution, steric configuration and, in some cases, details about chain conformation, aggregation, association, and supramolecular self-organization behavior of macromolecular substances can be determined using high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This spectroscopic technique is sensitive towards nuclei with a nuclear spin different from zero. 

A careful nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of the titration behavior of His-35 in Az-Ade by Canters and co-workers (Groeneveld et al, 1988) confirmed the prediction that His-35 would not titrate—or, at best, was found to have an unusually low pA (4.6). Interestingly, when His-35 is protonated there seems to be no effect on the copper center, unlike the case with Az-Pae. 

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has proven to be a very powerful technique for probing the structures of carbanions in the condensed phase. In particular, much work has been completed on the ion-pairing behavior of carbanions with lithium cations as well as the formation of aggregates of these lithium salts. A full discussion of this topic, particularly the methodology, is beyond the scope of this chapter, but a brief overview is appropriate. 

The models in Figures 2 and 3 show that a part of the low molecular weight liquid obviously separates the polymer chains from each other, thus facilitating segment mobility. Another part of it fills the cavities and displays almost liquid state behavior in them. This rather simplified model of the glass structure has been verified in some by nuclear magnetic resonance experiments.
