Of spectroscopic teclmiques, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been most widely used to measure orientational ordering in liquid crystals [M, 57 and ]. Most commonly, changes of line splittings in the spectra of... 

Specinfo, from Chemical Concepts, is a factual database information system for spectroscopic data with more than 660000 digital spectra of 150000 associated structures [24], The database covers nuclear magnetic resonance spectra ( H-, C-, N-, O-, F-, P-NMR), infrared spectra (IR), and mass spectra (MS). In addition, experimental conditions (instrument, solvent, temperature), coupling constants, relaxation time, and bibliographic data are included. The data is cross-linked to CAS Registry, Beilstein, and NUMERIGUIDE. 

Physical Chemical Characterization. Thiamine, its derivatives, and its degradation products have been fully characterized by spectroscopic methods (9,10). The ultraviolet spectmm of thiamine shows pH-dependent maxima (11). H, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra show protonation occurs at the 1-nitrogen, and not the 4-amino position (12—14). The H spectmm in D2O shows no resonance for the thiazole 2-hydrogen, as this is acidic and readily exchanged via formation of the thiazole yUd (13) an important intermediate in the biochemical functions of thiamine. Recent work has revised the piC values for the two ionization reactions to 4.8 and 18 respectively (9,10,15). The mass spectmm of thiamine hydrochloride shows no molecular ion under standard electron impact ionization conditions, but fast atom bombardment and chemical ionization allow observation of both an intense peak for the patent cation and its major fragmentation ion, the pyrimidinylmethyl cation (16). 

Other spectroscopic methods such as infrared (ir), and nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr), circular dichroism (cd), and mass spectrometry (ms) are invaluable tools for identification and stmcture elucidation. Nmr spectroscopy allows for geometric assignment of the carbon—carbon double bonds, as well as relative stereochemistry of ring substituents. These spectroscopic methods coupled with traditional chemical derivatization techniques provide the framework by which new carotenoids are identified and characterized (16,17).

The spectroscopic techniques that have been most frequently used to investigate biomolecular dynamics are those that are commonly available in laboratories, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), fluorescence, and Mossbauer spectroscopy. In a later chapter the use of NMR, a powerful probe of local motions in macromolecules, is described. Here we examine scattering of X-ray and neutron radiation. Neutrons and X-rays share the property of being found in expensive sources not commonly available in the laboratory. Neutrons are produced by a nuclear reactor or spallation source. X-ray experiments are routinely performed using intense synclirotron radiation, although in favorable cases laboratory sources may also be used. 

The presence of iminium salts can be detected by chemical means or by spectroscopic methods. The chemical means of detecting iminium salts are reactions with nucleophiles and are the subject of this review. The spectroscopic methods are more useful for rapid identification because with the large number of model compounds available now the spectroscopic methods are fast and reliable. The two methods that are used primarily are infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Some attempts have been made to determine the presence of iminium salts by ultraviolet spectroscopy, but these are not definitive as yet (14,25). 

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most valuable spectroscopic technique available to organic chemists. It s the method of structure determination that organic chemists turn to first. 

Mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are techniques of structure determination applicable to all organic molecules. In addition to these three generally useful methods, there s a fourth—ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy—that is applicable only to conjugated systems. UV is less commonly used than the other three spectroscopic techniques because of the specialized information it gives, so we ll mention it only briefly. 

Nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR (Chapter 13 introduction) A spectroscopic technique that provides information about the carbon-hydrogen framework of a molecule. NMR works by detecting the energy absorptions accompanying the transitions between nuclear spin states that occur when a molecule is placed in a strong magnetic field and irradiated with radiofrequency waves. 

As a prelude to the discussion it is necessary to consider the definition of orientation in terms of the Euler angles, and the definition ofan orientation distribution function in terms ofan expansion ofLegendre functions. These definitions set the scene for examining the information which can be obtained from different spectroscopic techniques. In this review, infra-red and Raman spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance, will be considered. 

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). 

Porphyrin is a multi-detectable molecule, that is, a number of its properties are detectable by many physical methods. Not only the most popular nuclear magnetic resonance and light absorption and emission spectroscopic methods, but also the electron spin resonance method for paramagnetic metallopor-phyrins and Mossbauer spectroscopy for iron and tin porphyrins are frequently used to estimate the electronic structure of porphyrins. By using these multi-detectable properties of the porphyrins of CPOs, a novel physical phenomenon is expected to be found. In particular, the topology of the cyclic shape is an ideal one-dimensional state of the materials used in quantum physics [ 16]. The concept of aromaticity found in fuUerenes, spherical aromaticity, will be revised using TT-conjugated CPOs [17].

Beryllium(II) is the smallest metal ion, r = 27 pm (2), and as a consequence forms predominantly tetrahedral complexes. Solution NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) (59-61) and x-ray diffraction studies (62) show [Be(H20)4]2+ to be the solvated species in water. In the solid state, x-ray diffraction studies show [Be(H20)4]2+ to be tetrahedral (63), as do neutron diffraction (64), infrared, and Raman scattering spectroscopic studies (65). Beryllium(II) is the only tetrahedral metal ion for which a significant quantity of both solvent-exchange and ligand-substitution data are available, and accordingly it occupies a...

Perhaps the most revolutionary development has been the application of on-line mass spectroscopic detection for compositional analysis. Polymer composition can be inferred from column retention time or from viscometric and other indirect detection methods, but mass spectroscopy has reduced much of the ambiguity associated with that process. Quantitation of end groups and of co-polymer composition can now be accomplished directly through mass spectroscopy. Mass spectroscopy is particularly well suited as an on-line GPC technique, since common GPC solvents interfere with other on-line detectors, including UV-VIS absorbance, nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopic detectors. By contrast, common GPC solvents are readily adaptable to mass spectroscopic interfaces. No detection technique offers a combination of universality of analyte detection, specificity of information, and ease of use comparable to that of mass spectroscopy. 

As active substances are separated and purified they are characterized by a combination of spectroscopic analyses and chemical correlations. Particularly useful spectroscopic analysis techniques are nuclear magnetic resonance (proton and carbon), mass spectrometry and Infra-red and ultraviolet spectrophotometry.
