Structural Characterization. 13C-NMR Spectra of PGG glucan preparations (15 mg/mL in 0.5 M NaOD) were recorded with a Bruker Model AC 200 at 50.3 MHz and all chemical shifts were expressed in parts per million downfield from an internal tetramethylsilane (TMS) standard. 

In conclusion, the lesson learned from the research carried out to date on the subject of polycarbosilanes is that the general rule that linear, noncrosslinked polymers are not suitable preceramic polymers applies here as well. Crosslinked network-type polymers are needed. Such structures can be generated in more than one way, but in the case of the polycarbosilanes they have, to date, been obtained mainly by thermolytic routes thermal treatment (with or without other chemical additives) in the case of the Yajima polycarbosilanes and the thermolysis of tetramethylsilane in the case of the Bayer process-derived polycarbosilane. 

The NMR spectrum of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is shown in Figure 2. The spectrum was obtained with a Varian model CFT-20 80 MHz NMR spectrometer. Deuterated DMSO was used as the solvent with tetramethylsilane as an internal standard. Table II gives the NMR assignments consistent with the structure of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride.3... 

NMR characterization of the tautomers has shown that the pure keto isomer just above its melting point gives a single peak. This, of course, is required if structure assignment is correct. Absorption is at —2.67 ppm with reference to tetramethylsilane as an internal standard. This tautomer is extremely reactive and polymerized to an appreciable extent even at - 78° C in a few hours or in a few seconds at room temperature. 

The displacement of a signal from the hypothetical position of maximum shielding is called its chemical shift, notated as S (delta) and measured in parts per million (ppm). As indicated on Fig. 12-4, the zero of the 6 scale is conventionally located at the signal produced by the H s of tetramethylsilane (TMS), (CHj)4 Si. This compound serves because its H-signal is usually isolated in the extreme upheld region. Clues to the structure of an unknown compound can be obtained by comparing the chemical shifts of its spectrum to the d values in such tabulations as Table 12-3. Some generalizations about molecular structure and proton chemical shift in H nmr (pmr) arc ... 

Both samples, the peracetylated p-D-glucose (30mg) and the peracetylated oligosaccharide of unknown structure (6mg) were dissolved in CDCI, (99.8% D), doped with a trace of tetramethylsilane (TMS) as the internal standard. 

For 13C shift/structure correlations and for tabulations of ppm values one generally accepted reference should be used. Carbon disulfide, which appears in the low field region of, 3C spectra, was widely used in the early literature [73a, b]. Later, tetramethylsilane (TMS), known from proton NMR, became the generally accepted carbon-13 shift reference, particularly because of some parallels in the behavior of H and 13C shifts. 

By trapping PX at liquid nitrogen temperature and transferring it to THF at —80° C, the nmr spectmm could be observed (9). It consists of two sharp peaks of equal area at chemical shifts of 5.10 and 6.49 ppm downfield from tetramethylsilane (TMS). The fact that any sharp peaks are observed at all attests to the absence of any significant concentration of unpaired electron spins, such as those that would be contributed by the biradical (11). Furthermore, the chemical shift of the ring protons, 6.49 ppm, is well upheld from the typical aromatic range and more characteristic of an olefinic proton. Thus the olefin structure (1) for PX is also supported by nmr. 

The PMR spectrum of camphor in CDCI3 was recorded on a Varian T-60A, 60 MHz NMR spectrometer using TMS (Tetramethylsilane) as an internal reference (Fig. b). The following structural assignments have been made... 

Protons in different chemical environments have different chemical shifts, measured in 8 (delta) units from the reference peak of tetramethylsilane [TMS, (CH3)4Si]. Peak areas are proportional to the number of protons. Peaks may be split (spin-spin coupling) depending on the number of protons. Proton NMR gives at least three types of structural information (1) the number of signals and their chemical shifts can be used to identify the kinds of chemically different protons in the molecules (2) peak areas tell how many protons of each kind are present (3) spin-spin coupling patterns identify the number of near-neighbor protons. 

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. Nmr is a most valuable technique for structure determination in thiophene chemistry, especially because spectral interpretation is much easier in the thiophene series compared to benzene derivatives. Chemical shifts in proton nmr are well documented for thiophene (CDC13), 6 = H2 7.12, H3 7.34, H4 7.34, and H5 7.12 ppm. Coupling constants occur in well-defined ranges J2 3 = 4.9-5.8 J3 4 = 3.45-4.35 J2 4 = 1.25-1.7 and J2 5 = 3.2-3.65 Hz. The technique can be used quantitatively by comparison with standard spectra of materials of known purity. 13C-nmr spectroscopy of thiophene and thiophene derivatives is also a valuable technique that shows well-defined patterns of spectra. 13C chemical shifts for thiophene, from tetramethylsilane (TMS), are C2 127.6, C3 125.9, C4 125.9, and C5 127.6 ppm.
