The fact that only one spectral set is observed for both of the chelate rings in 4 - 5 in the and C NMR spectra is evidence that (a) the equilibrium between 4 and 5 is rapid relative to the NMR time scale and, (b), that the open and closed chelate moieties in 5 are equivalent, i.e. they also undergo simultaneous rapid equilibration. The equilibration of the chelate rings must follow a rapid flip-flop type mechanism, by which one NMe2 group displaces the other, as described previously for other systems [8].

Furthermore, simulation shows that the random variables Sy icok) and Sy kf ojk ) are un-correlated in the same range of frequencies for the Chi-square distribution, for k k and k, k 6 K.. According to Yaglom [277], uncorrelated Chi-square random variables are independent. Use K to denote the, frequency index set that contains the frequency indices for these approximations to be accurate. Given the observed data V, the spectral set can be computed by using Equation (3.25) ...

Here the frequency index set K. represents a range over which Equations (3.56) and (3.58) give a satisfactory approximation and this will be further discussed in Section 3.3.3. Using the Bayes theorem, the updated PDF of the model parameter vector 0, given the averaged spectral set [Pg.114]

Wliat does one actually observe in the experunental spectrum, when the levels are characterized by the set of quantum numbers n. Mj ) for the nonnal modes The most obvious spectral observation is simply the set of energies of the levels another important observable quantity is the intensities. The latter depend very sensitively on the type of probe of the molecule used to obtain the spectmm for example, the intensities in absorption spectroscopy are in general far different from those in Raman spectroscopy. From now on we will focus on the energy levels of the spectmm, although the intensities most certainly carry much additional infonnation about the molecule, and are extremely interesting from the point of view of theoretical dynamics. 

As a final point, it should again be emphasized that many of the quantities that are measured experimentally, such as relaxation rates, coherences and time-dependent spectral features, are complementary to the thennal rate constant. Their infomiation content in temis of the underlying microscopic interactions may only be indirectly related to the value of the rate constant. A better theoretical link is clearly needed between experimentally measured properties and the connnon set of microscopic interactions, if any, that also affect the more traditional solution phase chemical kinetics. 

Specinfo has an additional tool for calculating NMR spectra that is based on the data sets of the compounds contained in the database. This leads to quite reliable calculated spectral parameters for the compound classes which are registered in the database. 

Fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory are applied to various problems in chemistry. The applications range from component identification and spectral Hbrary search to fuzzy pattern recognition or calibrations of analytical methods. 

A number of other software packages are available to predict NMR spectra. The use of large NMR spectral databases is the most popular approach it utilizes assigned chemical structures. In an advanced approach, parameters such as solvent information can be used to refine the accuracy of the prediction. A typical application works with tables of experimental chemical shifts from experimental NMR spectra. Each shift value is assigned to a specific structural fragment. The query structure is dissected into fragments that are compared with the fragments in the database. For each coincidence, the experimental chemical shift from the database is used to compose the final set of chemical shifts for the... 

Other methods consist of algorithms based on multivariate classification techniques or neural networks they are constructed for automatic recognition of structural properties from spectral data, or for simulation of spectra from structural properties [83]. Multivariate data analysis for spectrum interpretation is based on the characterization of spectra by a set of spectral features. A spectrum can be considered as a point in a multidimensional space with the coordinates defined by spectral features. Exploratory data analysis and cluster analysis are used to investigate the multidimensional space and to evaluate rules to distinguish structure classes. 

Multivariate data analysis usually starts with generating a set of spectra and the corresponding chemical structures as a result of a spectrum similarity search in a spectrum database. The peak data are transformed into a set of spectral features and the chemical structures are encoded into molecular descriptors [80]. A spectral feature is a property that can be automatically computed from a mass spectrum. Typical spectral features are the peak intensity at a particular mass/charge value, or logarithmic intensity ratios. The goal of transformation of peak data into spectral features is to obtain descriptors of spectral properties that are more suitable than the original peak list data. 

The peak at mje = 98 is taken as the arbitrary standard. The height of the other peaks is measmed relative to it. Once this matrix has been established, ordered sets of mass spectral peak heights at mfe = 69, 83, 84, and 98 constitute the experimental b vector for an unknown mixture that contains or may contain the four... 

Chiral separations present special problems for vaUdation. Typically, in the absence of spectroscopic confirmation (eg, mass spectral or infrared data), conventional separations are vaUdated by analysing "pure" samples under identical chromatographic conditions. Often, two or more chromatographic stationary phases, which are known to interact with the analyte through different retention mechanisms, are used. If the pure sample and the unknown have identical retention times under each set of conditions, the identity of the unknown is assumed to be the same as the pure sample. However, often the chiral separation that is obtained with one type of column may not be achievable with any other type of chiral stationary phase. In addition, "pure" enantiomers are generally not available.
