Characterization439 Inherent viscosity before and after solid-sate polymerization is 0.46 and 3.20 dL/g, respectively (0.5 g/dL in pentafluorophenol at 25°C). DSC Tg = 135°C, Tm = 317°C. A copolyester of similar composition440 exhibited a liquid crystalline behavior with crystal-nematic and nematic-isotropic transition temperatures at 307 and 410°C, respectively (measured by DSC and hot-stage polarizing microscopy). The high-resolution solid-state 13C NMR study of a copolyester with a composition corresponding to z2/zi = 1-35 has been reported.441... 

In addition to sample rotation, a particular solid state NMR experiment is further characterized by the pulse sequence used. As in solution NMR, a multitude of such sequences exist for solids many exploit through-space dipolar couplings for either signal enhancement, spectral assignment, interauclear distance determination or full correlation of the spectra of different nuclei. The most commonly applied solid state NMR experiments are concerned with the measurement of spectra in which intensities relate to the numbers of spins in different environments and the resonance frequencies are dominated by isotropic chemical shifts, much like NMR spectra of solutions. Even so, there is considerable room for useful elaboration the observed signal may be obtained by direct excitation, cross polarization from other nuclei or other means, and irradiation may be applied during observation or in echo periods prior to... 

In this review, we present a selection of studies from our own laboratory, intended to introduce a solid-state chemist to both the practical and theoretical considerations that need to be taken into account in XPS measurements of solids with substantial covalent character. Metal phosphides, arsenides, and antimonides represent such a category of solids where the bonding retains some polarity that notions of electron counting derived from the Zintl concept still prove helpful in providing a frame of reference for comparing charge distributions. We also describe the applications of XAS to complementary studies of the electronic structure of these materials.

Solid-state C variable-amplitude cross polarization magic-angle spinning (VACP/MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were acquired for the sorbitol samples. Proton decoupling was achieved by a two-pulse phase modulation (TPPM) sequence. Identical C spectra were measured for the y-form sorbitol samples, and a representative spectrum is shown in Figure 9.
