Proton injection

In the case of ASW, the self-diffusivity shows contradicting experimental evidence. At temperatures up to 125 K, the mobility of protons injected into annealed D2O-ASW at 80 K was shown to be consistent with orientational... 

Fig. 9.3 leads to interesting possibilities for H conductivity measurements. The existence of a CB implies that protons which have reached this high energy state cease to be bound to their parent . They become delocalized. At the same time, each proton injected into the CB leaves behind a deprotonated site, chemically an 0 . Using Kroger s point... 

Conductivity measurements have still other limitations. Anodic proton injection requires high electric fields, and cathodic proton up-take requires dissolution of H in the electrode. If the anode does not supply enough protons, the current becomes injection-limited. If cathodic redissolution does not keep up with the arrival of protonic charge carriers, the cathode becomes polarized by the formation of Hj gas. The performance can be improved by using Pd-black electrodes with small Pd particles which give... 

A sample of the protein, horse heart myoglobin, was dissolved in acidified aqueous acetonitrile (1% formic acid in HjO/CHjCN, 1 1 v/v) at a concentration of 20 pmol/1. This sample was injected into a flow of the same solvent passing at 5 pl/min into the electrospray source to give the mass spectrum of protonated molecular ions [M + nH] shown in (a). The measured ra/z values are given in the table (b), along with the number of protons (charges n) associated with each. The mean relative molecular mass (RMM) is 16,951,09 0.3 Da. Finally, the transformed spectrum, corresponding to the true relative molecular mass, is shown in (c) the observed value is close to that calculated (16,951.4), an error of only 0.002%. 

An on-flow experiment is now carried out. 50 pi of a solution of the product mixture (5 mg in 5 mL solvent) are injected and the NMR proton signal accumulation started simultaneously. The time taken for the chromatogram is 17 min. During this time a total of 128 proton NMR spectra are recorded, each with eight scans, i.e. an FID is accumulated approximately every 7 sec. After the Fourier transformation we obtain a two-dimensional representation (Fig. 33) of the on-flow experiment.
