Formaldehyde is produced and sold as water solutions containing variable amounts of methanol. These solutions are complex equiUbrium mixtures of methylene glycol, CH2(OH)2, poly(oxymethylene glycols), and hemiformals of these glycols. Ultraviolet spectroscopic studies (13—15) iadicate that even ia highly concentrated solutions the content of unhydrated HCHO is <0.04 wt%. 

In this review the definition of orientation and orientation functions or orientation averages will be considered in detail. This will be followed by a comprehensive account of the information which can be obtained by three spectroscopic techniques, infra-red and Raman spectroscopy and broad line nuclear magnetic resonance. The use of polarized fluorescence will not be discussed here, but is the subject of a contemporary review article by the author and J. H. Nobbs 1. The present review will be completed by consideration of the information which has been obtained on the development of molecular orientation in polyethylene terephthalate and poly(tetramethylene terephthalate) where there are also clearly defined changes in the conformation of the molecule. In this paper, particular attention will be given to the characterization of biaxially oriented films. Previous reviews of this subject have been given by the author and his colleagues, but have been concerned with discussion of results for uniaxially oriented systems only2,3). 

It is difficult to establish the degree of polymerisation of materials (61) due to their insolubility, which prevents GPC analysis and standard spectroscopic studies. The important bathochromic shift of the Aonset observed in the series (34a) (496 nm)/(62) (600 nm) (Scheme 18)/poly(34a) (754 nm), suggests that (61) are oligomers. Note that electropolymerisation of monomers (40a) and...

The mechanism of anodic oxidation of CO at polycrystalline Au remains uncertain. Several groups have reported that the voltammetry of Au in acidic electrolytes is straightforward, with a well-formed oxidation wave/peak [Stonehart, 1966 Gibbs et al., 1977 Kita et al., 1985 Sun et al., 1999]. There is, however, no voltammetric evidence for the adsorption of CO on the Au surface, and spectroscopic studies indicate only a weak interaction of CO with poly crystalline Au surfaces in acidic solutions [Kunimatsu et al., 1986 Cuesta et al., 2003]. Moreover, there is little evidence for the formation of oxidizing species at the potential where the oxidation process is observed. Certainly, the oxidation of CO occurs at a potential over 500 mV less positive than that where bulk Au oxide is formed, and, indeed, the formation of this oxide strongly... 

Of the group 14 elements (Si, Ge, Sn and Pb), only tin is known to form a variety of poly(pyrazoIyl)borato alkyl derivatives. For example, the reactions between K[pzTp] and the silicon derivatives Me SiCl4 (n = 1-3) have not given tractable products (115). Similarly, the reaction between K[pzTp] and Me2GeCl2 gives a complex that has been spectroscopically characterized as [pzTp]2GeMe2, but which readily decomposes.

The recent interest in substituted silane polymers has resulted in a number of theoretical (15-19) and spectroscopic (19-21) studies. Most of the theoretical studies have assumed an all-trans planar zig-zag backbone conformation for computational simplicity. However, early PES studies of a number of short chain silicon catenates strongly suggested that the electronic properties may also depend on the conformation of the silicon backbone (22). This was recently confirmed by spectroscopic studies of poly(di-n-hexylsilane) in the solid state (23-26). Complementary studies in solution have suggested that conformational changes in the polysilane backbone may also be responsible for the unusual thermochromic behavior of many derivatives (27,28). In order to avoid the additional complexities associated with this thermochromism and possible aggregation effects at low temperatures, we have limited this report to polymer solutions at room temperature. 

The identification of anionic polyfacrylic acid) sizes can be carried out by staining with a fluorescent cationic dye (Cl Basic Orange 14) followed by spectroscopic measurement of excitation wavelength and fluorescence emission [195,196]. Such methods can also be used (with Cl Basic Orange 14 or Cl Basic Red 1) to detect and estimate carboxymethylcellulose, poly(vinyl alcohol) and starch derivatives [197].
