Reaction monitoring and process optimization utilizing 1H NMR spectroscopy with the 60 MHZ benchtop NMR Spectrometers

In this blog post, I’ll feature work done by Vilela et al. with the NMReady-60 and illustrate how it can be used for on-line reaction monitoring and to optimize reaction conditions for the generation of singlet oxygen using BODIPY photosensitisers.

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!

Olive Oil Offenses: How NMR Is Used To Detect Adulteration of Olive Oil

Because of its cost, olive oil is especially susceptible to fraudulent adulteration. Many cases of adulteration are innocuous and involve someone trying to make more money by passing off cheap, inferior oils as authentic extra virgin olive oil. Other cases may be more lethal where someone with criminal intent contaminates olive oil with toxic chemicals, such as the Toxic Oil Syndrome seen in Spain in 1981.

Methamphetamine and MDMA - Structural Similarity in NMR Spectroscopy

NMR spectra visualize the change in the Larmor frequency of each hydrogen atom in the analyte. This change is what we call the chemical shift of the signal which is dependent on electronic effects. Similar molecules show similar NMR spectra and this is another advantage of NMR spectroscopy compared to other analytical methods: Derivatives or in this case new psychological active substances or ‘designer drugs’ can be recognized as a potential illicit compound, which is what we are currently working on with police authorities in Germany.

What to expect: Chemical Shifts & Coupling Constants in Low-field NMR Spectroscopy (Copy)

One of the questions that we always get at tradeshows and conferences is how our instrument compares to high-field data. There are significant inherent differences between low-field and high-field instruments, but the most important from a chemistry point of view are sensitivity (S/N) and resonance dispersion (signal separation).
