2D NMR: Heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation Spectroscopy (HSQC)01:19

2D NMR: Heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation Spectroscopy (HSQC)

1.6K
Heteronuclear single-quantum correlation spectroscopy (HSQC) is a 2D NMR technique that reveals one-bond correlations between hydrogen and a heteronucleus. The HSQC experiment is similar to the heteronuclear correlation experiment (HETCOR) but is more sensitive. In the HSQC spectrum, the proton chemical shift is plotted on the horizontal F2 axis, while the 13C chemical shift is plotted on the vertical F1 axis. The corresponding proton and 13C spectra are also shown. The HSQC contour plot does...

2D NMR: Overview of Heteronuclear Correlation Techniques

908
Heteronuclear correlation spectroscopy is an analytical technique that investigates the coupling between different types of nuclei, often a proton and an X-nucleus, such as carbon-13 or nitrogen-15. This method is commonly used in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to gain insights into complex chemical compounds' structural and compositional aspects. A typical heteronuclear correlation spectrum displays X-nucleus chemical shifts on one axis and a proton spectrum on the other...

2D NMR: Homonuclear Correlation Spectroscopy (COSY)

2.1K
Homonuclear correlation spectroscopy, or COSY, is a 2-dimensional NMR technique that provides information about coupled protons. Typically, the geminal and vicinal coupling are observed. For example, consider the COSY spectrum of ethyl acetate, where its 1D proton NMR spectrum is plotted along the vertical and horizontal axes with their corresponding chemical shift scale. Three spots on the diagonal corresponding to the three peaks in the 1D proton spectrum are called diagonal peaks. The COSY...

2D NMR: Overview of Homonuclear Correlation Techniques

804
Homonuclear correlation spectroscopy (COSY) is a powerful technique used in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to study the correlations between nuclei of the same type within a molecule. It provides information about scalar couplings between adjacent nuclei, which helps determine connectivity and structural information. There are several COSY variants, each with its unique strengths and experimental parameters.
COSY90 is the standard two-dimensional (2D) COSY experiment that...

Spectroscopy of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives

3.3K
Infrared spectroscopy is primarily used to determine the types of bonds and functional groups. In carboxylic acid derivatives, a typical carbonyl bond absorption is observed around 1650–1850 cm−1. For esters, the absorption is recorded at around 1740 cm−1, while acid halides show the absorption at about 1800 cm−1. Another acid derivative, the acid anhydrides, exhibit two carbonyl absorption around 1760 cm−1 and 1820 cm−1, arising from the symmetrical and...

UV–Vis Spectroscopy of Conjugated Systems

9.1K
Organic compounds with conjugated double bonds show strong absorption features in the UV–visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum attributed to π → π* electronic excitations. Generally, a UV–vis absorption spectrum is recorded as a plot of absorbance vs wavelength. The wavelength of maximum absorbance, which manifests as a peak in the absorption spectrum, is denoted as λmax.
One of the factors influencing λmax is the extent of conjugation in...

Area of Science:

  • Surface science
  • Spectroscopy
  • Physical chemistry

Background:

  • Vibrational sum-frequency spectra (VSFS) provide molecular orientation and population data at surfaces.
  • Extracting surface population is challenging when molecular orientation changes with concentration.
  • This limitation hinders the widespread adoption of VSFS for studying adsorption phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for isolating surface population information from VSFS data, even when molecular orientation varies.
  • To demonstrate the utility of this method for analyzing binary mixtures and determining adsorption preferences.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing principal component analysis (PCA) on VSFS data.
  • Reconstructing VSFS spectra by removing the first principal component to minimize orientation contributions.
  • Applying heterospectral analysis to the reconstructed spectra.

Main Results:

  • PCA-based reconstruction effectively diminishes spectral contributions from molecular orientation.
  • The reconstructed spectra are suitable for subsequent surface-bulk heterospectral analysis.
  • This approach successfully reveals the adsorption preference of species from binary mixtures.

Conclusions:

  • PCA-based spectral reconstruction offers a robust method to decouple molecular orientation from surface population information in VSFS.
  • This technique enhances the capability of VSFS to quantify surface adsorption and study complex interfacial phenomena.
  • The findings facilitate a deeper understanding of adsorption behavior in multicomponent systems.
