We report the development of isotopic-labeled (13)C diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) NMR with diffusion coefficient-formula weight (D-FW) analysis and its application in characterizing the aggregation state of methyllithium aggregates and complexes with several widely used diamines. Commercially available (13)C-labeled benzene and several easily synthesized (13)C-labeled compounds using (13)C-labeled iodomethane as the isotopic source are developed as internal references for diffusion-formula weight analysis (D-FW). The technique greatly expands the applicability of DOSY D-FW analysis to a much wider variety of compounds because of isotopic labeling. These results reveal that methyllithium exists as a tetrasolvated tetramer in diethyl ether and exclusively as bis-solvated dimers with chelating diamines.

Six new Cu(I) complexes containing pincer ligands of the type 2,6-bis(3-alkyl/arylimidazol-2-ylidene) methylpyridine I(R/Ar) , where R = trifluoroethyl (TFE) and R' = 4-CF, 4-NO, 4-CN, 4-H, and 4-CH, have been synthesized. These complexes, namely, [Cu(I(TFE))]PF, ; [Cu(IAr ]PF, ; [Cu(IAr )]PF, ; [Cu(IAr ]PF, ; [Cu(IAr )](PF), ; and [Cu(IAr )](PF), , were fully characterized by H, C, and HMBC NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, electrochemical studies, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The crystallographic data revealed different structures and copper nuclearities for the complexes bearing aryl wingtips with electron-withdrawing (, , and ) and electron-donating ( and ) substituents.

A series of Cu(I) complexes of bidentate or tetradentate Schiff base ligands bearing either 1--imidazole or pyridine moieties were synthesized. The complexes were studied by a combination of NMR and X-ray spectroscopic techniques. The differences between the imidazole- and pyridine-based ligands were examined by H, C and N NMR spectroscopy.

Using environment-friendly catalysts to convert biomass into compounds with high values is one of the central topics of green chemistry. In this work, [Ch][Pro] (cholinium as the cation and l-proline as the anion) ionic liquid was synthesized and applied as a model catalyst in the production of deoxyfructosazine (DOF) and fructosazine (FZ) from d-glucosamine (GlcNH). The C NMR chemical shift titration experiments and the diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) measurements showed that, when the [Ch][Pro] interacted with GlcNH, the l-proline anion ([Pro]) played a major catalytic role instead of cholinium cation ([Ch]).

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate--3-hydroxyvalerate) (P(3HB-3HV)) copolymer's properties depend on (i) the molar fraction of comonomers, (ii) the overall molar mass, and (ii) the chemical compositional distribution. This work aims at providing a better understanding of the effect of the P(3HB-3HV) molecular structure, produced from mixed cultures and waste feedstock, on copolymer crystallization and tensile properties. Conventional biopolymer characterization methods (differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and polarized optical microscopy) were coupled to both classical one-dimensional (H and C) and advanced two-dimensional (diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) and H/C heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC)) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy techniques.
