NIR • Hydrogen-containing groups are dominant • Information is often implicid, coupled vibrations • Not suited for trace analysis • Easy analysis of aqueous solutions • Process-analysis • Use of light-pipes even without cuvette (reflection) • Easy analysis of powders using diffuse reflection • Characterisation of fillers • Determination of water contents in liquids and solids
2D-Spectroscopy (general scheme) general pertubation mechanical, electric, electro-magnetic, chemical,… dynamic spectrum system Electro-magnetic probe IR X-ray, UV-vis, NMR,… 2D-correlation spectrum
2 dimensional correlation vibrational spectroscopy Samples are exposed to external pertubations such as: temperature pressure stress Resolution (the large number) of overlapping NIR bands can be enhanced and MIR and NIR correlation spectra are very useful for peak assignement
NMR = No More Research?? Nobel Laureate R. R. Ernst: "It's sometimes close to magic" Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
NMR can provide information about: • Polymers in Solution • The microstucture of polymer chains • Resonance assignement • regioisomerism • Stereochemical configuration • Geometric isomerism • Isomerism in diene polymers • Asymmetric centres in the main chain • Branching and cross-linking • End groups • Configurational statistics • Copolymerization sequences • Chain conformation in solution • Intermolecular association

Relaxation • the original focussed and in-phase in the x-y plane rotating magnetisation • decreases by two effects: • interaction with the environment (“the lattice”) • Relaxation time T1 (spin-lattice relaxation, longitudinal relaxation) • interaction with neighbouring spins (dephasing) • Relaxation time T2 (spin-spin relaxation, transversal relaxation) Mz(t)-Mz(t=0) ~ exp [-t/T1] My(t)-My(t=0) ~ exp [-t/T2] the “effective” T2 (T2*) is responsible for the line broadening (transversal relaxation + inhomogeneous field broadening): 1/2= 1/(T2*) 1/2= line-width at ½ of the peak-height [Hz] T1 is the longitudinal relaxation time in the rotating frame. T1 >T1
13C-Relaxations in solids and in solutions of high polymers: T1>>T2 non-viscous liquids T1 = T2 T1sensitive to motions 5-500 MHz*) T2 is affected by molecular motion at the Larmor frequency and low-frequency motions around 102-103 Hz T1 is sensitive to motions in the tens kHz-range *)short range, high frequency segmental motions, local environment is reflected
Spin echos dephasing 90°-pulse 180°-pulse slow fast fast slow Re-focussing re-focussed and echo only the “inhomogeneous”contribution of the T2is refocus= sed the result of the “true” T2-process is not re-focussed the echo decays according to the true T2
Exchange Processes Direct chemical exchange (e. g.: the hydroxyl proton of an alcohol with water protons) Magnetization exchange (e. g.: cross-polarization, NOE)
Decoupling of heteronuclear spin coupling causes the NUCLEAR OVERHAUSER EFFECT (NOE) Decoupling 1H-13C saturates 1H and changes the 13C-spin population excess 13C in the lower level compared with the equilibrium distribution more energy is absorbed better S/N DE = 1 + (gH/2gC) NOE depends on the specific resonance makes quantification difficult The Nuclear Overhauser-Effect (NOE) The NOE is sensitive to the distance NOESY experiment
Solid State Interaction The total Hamilton operator is given by the sum of the individual interactions: = z + q + dd + + k + J z = zeeman interaction with the external magnetic field (constant term) q = quadrupol interaction dd = direct dipolar interaction = magnetic shielding (chemical shift) reflects the chemical environment k = knight shift J = indirect coupling zq ddkJ

2D-Experiments can be useful: • for the separation of shifts and scalar couplings in isotropic phase • in particular in weakly coupled homo-and heteronuclear systems • in oriented phase, especially in static powders or magic-angle spinning • samples information can be extracted by separation of dipolar • couplings and anisotropic chemical shifts that cannot be obtained (easily) • from 1D-spectra • isotropic and anisotropic chemical shift components can be • separated in two frequency domains in the solid state
separate different interactions (shifts, couplings) • Correlate transitions of coupled spins • Study dynamic processes (chemical exchange, cross-relaxation, • transient Overhauser effects, spin diffusion…) 2D-Experiments can be designed to
2-dimensional*) NMR In fact projections (contour plots) of 3D-spectra The many possible experiments can be categorised as: molecular connectivities, distances • correlated 2D-NMR • exchange 2D-NMR • resolved 2D- NMR molecular motion, environment interactions Advantage over e. g. decoupling: no loss of information, just unravelling of overlapping signals *) and higher
collect incremented FIDs 2D-NMR Spectroscopy • The properties and motions of a spin system are represented by the • Hamilton Operator H*) • When H contains contributions of different physical origin • (e. g.: chemical shift, dipolar or scalar couplings…) • it is sometimes possible • to separate these effects in a multi-dimensional plot preparation evolution mixing detection • system is prepared in a coherent non-equilibrium state • System evolves under the influence • of what ever modification (pulse sequence) • Transformation into transversal magnetization • Measurement of the transversal magnetization *) in fact in NMR a reduced Hamiton spin operator Hs is sufficient
