The review by Neely tabulated the characteristic frequencies of several common, substituent groups that are of interest in carbohydrate chemistry, and discussed in detail the results of the structural analysis - of pyranose derivatives in the region 730-960 cm.-. In addition, brief outlines were also given of a similar analysis (see Ref. 69) of furanose derivatives (less fruitful than that of pyranose derivatives) and of the investigations of variation in hydrogen bonding in celluloses. 

Mass spectrometry (m.s.) has become an important and versatile technique in carbohydrate chemistry, and has been reviewed earlier. - The present article deals with m.s. as a tool in the structural analysis of naturally occurring carbohydrates. The mass spectrometry of nucleosides, nucleotides, " sugar phosphates, and related compounds is not included. For natural carbohydrates, studies in which m.s. has only been used for determining molecular weight or elemental composition have also been omitted.

C-n.m.r. spectroscopy and its application in carbohydrate chemistry and on 2D n.m.r. techniques for structure analysis of carbohydrates have appeared. 

An extensive review has appeared on the anomeric and exo-anomeric effects in carbohydrate chemistry. A further review of the anomeric effect asserts that n- a contributions to the former effect are small relative to those of n- n destabilising components. Further consideration has been given to the effect following analysis of 529 crystal structures of carbohydrates, in particular the C-O bond lengths and C-O-C and O-C-O bond angles as they depend on dihedral angles in the sequence C-O-C-O-C. The work is an extension of an earlier study (Vol. 18, p.2, ref. 4). ... 

Volume 45 of Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biochemistry (1987) contains articles on circular dichroism n.m.r. (proton relaxation rate data in structural analysis) and mass spectrometry (FAB methodology). The volume also contains tributes to the lives and work of Professors B. Helferich and F.

The proton spin-lattice relaxation-rate (R,) is a well established, nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) parameter for structural, configurational, and conformational analysis of organic molecules in solution. " As yet, however, its utility has received little attention in the field of carbohydrate chemistry,...
