Process-NMR – Future key elements in the world of Process Analytical Technology (PAT)

What is process analytical technology (PAT) and why is it so important?PAT is an extremely powerful and useful tool for analyzing, optimizing and controlling chemical processes. Chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries could especially benefit from this technique. In earlier days, chemical processes were primarily monitored by physical techniques, such as temperature, pH, pressure etc..

The Dangers of Making Too Many Assumptions. Electronegativity, Acidity, and Chemical Shift

Last month (which you can see here), we learned about how an acidic proton behaves in a 1H NMR experiment, particularly when it’s surrounded by D2O. For example, when an H+ leaves CH3COOH to join an accommodating D2O molecule, the resulting acetate (H3CCOO–) segment is reasonably comfortable bearing that negative charge. This phenomenon is the reason the solution is “acidic” in the first place. But why is acetate so capable of dealing with this negative electronic charge?

Electronegativity and Chemical Shift

Electronegativity is a concept that we have to study and understand early in our science or engineering degrees. In chemistry this concept stays with us and we commonly invoke it in order to explain multiple phenomena what we observe or study…and of course, NMR is not the exception!

DEPT: A tool for 13C peak assignments

Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT) is a double resonance pulse program that transfers polarization from an excited nucleus to another – most commonly 1H → 13C. This results in a sensitivity enhancement relative to the standard decoupled 1D carbon spectra (13C), which benefits only from the small Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) enhancements.
