Study of Hydrogen in Coals, Polymers, Oxides, and Muscle Water by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance; Extension of Solid-State High-Resolution Techniques

摘要

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been an important analytical and physical research tool for several decades. One area of NMR which has undergone considerable development in recent years is high resolution NMR of solids. In particular, high resolution solid state exp 13 C NMR spectra exhibiting features similar to those observed in liquids are currently achievable using sophisticated pulse techniques. The work described in this thesis develops analogous methods for high resolution exp 1 H NMR of rigid solids. Applications include characterization of hydrogen aromaticities in fossil fuels, and studies of hydrogen in oxides and bound water in muscle. (ERA citation 07:020733)
