Spectral studies on cellulose treated with sodium deuteroxide

摘要

AbstractCellulose II and cellulose I samples were treated respectively with a strong solution of sodium deuteroxide in D2O and a 99 solution of ethylenediamine. The complexes were washed with D2O and the nature of the OD bands were studied after rehydrogenating the sample. The infrared spectra of these rehydrogenated samples showed well‐resolved OD bands which are resistant to reexchange. The Characteristic bands are discussed and compared with the predicted OH‐OD frequency shi
