Mechanisms in Homogeneous Catalysis: A Spectroscopic Approach Description

While chemists using spectroscopic methods need to learn from the specialists, they do not normally read the spectroscopists' original papers. This book provides this very information—summarizing some recent advances in the mechanistic understanding of metallocene polymerization catalysts and the role of NMR spectroscopy in these endeavors.

Adopting a real practice-oriented approach, the authors focus on two of the most important spectroscopic techniques with two parts devoted to each of NMR and IR spectroscopy—as well as on important industrial applications with regard to the reaction discussed. Rather than providing a complete and exhaustive review of homogeneous hydrogenation and its detailed mechanisms, the book focuses on the specific spectroscopic techniques and the mechanistic information that has been obtained from their application. The result is unique in its scope, allowing chemists from different fields to learn which techniques can be applied for their specific synthetic problems.

The prizewinning editor, Professor Brian Heaton, is the key player in the field, and has brought together here a team of authors to cater for specialists, and researchers in industry and academia.

Process Analytical Technology: Spectroscopic Tools and Implementation Strategies for the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries Description

The use of real or near real time measurement of chemical production process parameters as the basis for achieving control or optimisation of a manufacturing process has wide application in the petrochemical, food and chemical industries. Process analytical chemistry (PAC), or process analytical technology (PAT) as it has recently been called, is now being deployed in the pharmaceutical industry, where it is seen as a technology that can help companies to improve their conformity with manufacturing compliance regulations.

The objective of this book is to provide a starting point for implementing process analytical chemistry tools in process monitoring applications or as part of a total quality management system. Written from the perspective of the spectroscopist required to implant PAT tools in a process environment, attention is focussed on measurements that are made “in process” at-line or off-line, providing data on product during manufacture. With chapters covering the key spectroscopic tools, their applications in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries and basic chemometrics, the novice can quickly develop a sound understanding of the most practical technologies and applications. Implementation strategies are fully covered and address some of the critical issues that need to be tackled when setting up a PAT project – including choosing a project with a sound business justification in the first place.

Structural Identification of Organic Compounds with Spectroscopic Techniques Description

Clearly structured, easy to read and optimal to understand, this extensive compendium fills the gap between textbooks devoted to either spectra interpretation or basic physical principles. The original Chinese editions have already sold over 18,500 copies, and the material is taken from the latest literature from around the world, plus technical information provided by the manufacturers of spectroscopic instruments.
Alongside basic methods, Professor Ning presents up-to-date developments in NMR, MS, IR and Raman spectroscopy, such as pulsed-field gradient technique, LC-NMR, and DOSY. He stresses the application of spectroscopic methods, interpreting them in great detail and depth since most of the selected spectra may be applied to practical work, as well as summarizing the rules for their interpretation. He also incorporates his original ideas, including a comparison of the common points in different spectroscopic techniques.
This monograph features a unique structure, a typical example being the discussion of 2D NMR starting from pulse sequence units, which construct various pulse sequences for related 2D NMR. A complete chapter deals with the determination of configurations and conformations of organic compounds and even biological molecules from the viewpoint of spectroscopic methodologies, while one whole section is dedicated to the interpretation of mass spectra produced by soft ionization techniques.
The principles of mass analyzers, especially the ion trap, are discussed in great depth, together with a concise summary of the MS fragmentation and rearrangement of common compounds, allowing readers to easily predict related mass spectrometric reactions. All the three kinds of library retrieval of mass spectra are presented in detail, together with recent developments in molecular vibration spectroscopy. The whole is rounded off with several appendices, including a subject index for rapid reference.

Inorganic Spectroscopic Methods (Oxford Chemistry Primers, 62) Description

An understanding of spectroscopic methods is a pre-requisite for students in chemistry and related disciplines from the undergraduate level onwards. Inorganic Spectroscopic Methods provides a firm introduction to common spectroscopic techniques and interpretation of spectra, and their application to inorganic-based systems.The approach taken is unashamedly aimed at the application of the techniques and interpretation of the spectra obtained. Worked examples, illustrative diagrams and references for a theoretical approach are provided throughout the book. Beginning with a introductory description of electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with matter, each subsequent chapter covers the physical basis of related spectroscopic methods (vibrational, resonance, UV-visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry) and their applications typical in inorganic compounds. Each chapter ends with a number of set problems and short questions in the margin are given throughout the chapters to test the basic concepts. The final chapter offers an integrated approach to the identification of unknown materials - putting together the techniques discussed. This essential text for all undergraduate chemists will also benefit postgraduates in chemistry, and undergraduate and postgraduate students of biochemistry and the biomedical sciences.

Organic Spectroscopic Structure Determination: A Problem-Based Learning Approach

A excellent but intermediate/advanced text
This is an excellent but intermediate/advanced text. I started to use problems from this text for sophomore organic class for chemistry majors. It provides a much needed gap between basic text books that seem to leave students a long way off from where they need to be in order to function in a contemporary organic research lab. This book offers only a minimal description of spectroscopic methods so it would not serve as a stand alone text for beginners but it provides a clear formalism for solving structures of fairly complex unknowns. The problems build in complexity guiding the reader through different strategies for combining spectroscopic methods in order to solve organic structures. There should be more 2-D spectra and it presents spectral data in tabular form (like you would find in the scientific literature) as opposed to real spectra. It would not substitute for an introductory text but is an excellent program for the undergraduate student preparing for a career in chemistry, graduate students or professional interested in honing their structure solving skills. The concise compilation of spectroscopic data is excellent.

Only spectroscopic data sets provided
Maybe my rating is a little harsh. It is not based on the content of the book, but on the way it is presented. Our students use spectra to determine structures and are not given the spectral data only. I was thus looking for and expected spectra sets and not only the data sets based on the spectra. BE WARNED: This book does not provide sets of spectra like for example Organic Structures from Spectra by Leslie D. Field et al.

Description:
Near infrared spectroscopy combined with several chemometrical techniques has been used to control the aging process in vinegar and the changes produced during storage. Several considerations regarding NIR instrument changes, which can add noise to the determinations, were made and a strategy based on the correction of the spectra was used to eliminate the differences between spectra due to instrument variation, in particular to lamp change. Ninety-five different vinegars were measured using a near-infrared spectrometer. The spectrum of each vinegar sample was collected twice: the first time as soon as the bottle was opened and the vinegar had not undergone any oxidation process and the second measurement was taken after a certain period of time. Then, in order to quantify the discrimination between the two groups of spectra recorded in the two occasions and so to estimate the aging effect in the vinegar samples, Linear Discriminant Analysis was used as a classification method. To improve the results, bearing in mind that many of the measured variables could be useless and that the elimination of these wavelengths can help in interpretation, a feature selection technique was applied. For chemical interpretation of the retained wavelengths, the spectral zones correlated with the aging process were isolated and the species and compounds that can absorb in these NIR spectra bands were studied.

This digital document is a journal article from Analytica Chimica Acta, published by Elsevier in 2005. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
The aim of this work was to investigate the relationship between sensory analysis and visible and near infrared spectroscopy in two Australian white wine varieties (namely unwooded Chardonnay and Riesling). A total of 120 samples (2 varietiesx3 replicatesx20 commercial labels) were scanned in transmission mode in the visible and near infrared range (400-2500nm). For the purposes of this study four aroma descriptors generated from a sensory descriptive analysis study: estery, honey, passionfruit, lemon-citrus and two palate properties:overall flavour and sweetness were selected for investigation. Calibration models between sensory properties and spectra were developed using partial least squares regression (PLS1 and PLS2) with cross validation. The correlation coefficients (R"c"a"l) were greater than 0.70 for estery, lemon and honey, and less than 0.50 for passionfruit, overall flavour and sweetness in both calibration and cross validation. Therefore, this work demonstrates that some relationships between sensory data and both visible and near infrared spectra exists to assess sensory properties in the white wine varieties. Further work will be carried out with a larger set of data including additional sensory properties in different white wine varieties in order to validate the method.

Description:
The application of near infrared spectroscopy in bioprocessing has been limited by its dependence on calibrations derived from single bioreactor at a given time. Here, we propose a multiplexed calibration technique which allows calibrations to be built from multiple bioreactors run in parallel. This gives the flexibility to monitor multiple vessels and facilitates calibration model transfer between bioreactors. Models have been developed for the two key analytes: glucose and lactate using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines and using analyte specific information obtained from the feasibility studies. We observe slight model degradation for the multiplexed models in comparison to the conventional (single probe) models, decrease in r^2 values from 89.4% to 88% for glucose whereas for lactate from 92% to 91.8% and a simultaneous increase in the number of factors as the model incorporates the inter-probe variability, nevertheless the models were fit for purpose. The results of this particular application of implementing multiplexed-NIRS to monitor multiple bioreactor vessels are very encouraging, as successful models have been built on-line and validated externally, which proffers the prospect of reducing timelines in monitoring the vessels considerably, and in turn, providing improved control.

Description:
The aim of this work was to investigate the relationship between sensory analysis and visible and near infrared spectroscopy in two Australian white wine varieties (namely unwooded Chardonnay and Riesling). A total of 120 samples (2 varietiesx3 replicatesx20 commercial labels) were scanned in transmission mode in the visible and near infrared range (400-2500nm). For the purposes of this study four aroma descriptors generated from a sensory descriptive analysis study: estery, honey, passionfruit, lemon-citrus and two palate properties:overall flavour and sweetness were selected for investigation. Calibration models between sensory properties and spectra were developed using partial least squares regression (PLS1 and PLS2) with cross validation. The correlation coefficients (R"c"a"l) were greater than 0.70 for estery, lemon and honey, and less than 0.50 for passionfruit, overall flavour and sweetness in both calibration and cross validation. Therefore, this work demonstrates that some relationships between sensory data and both visible and near infrared spectra exists to assess sensory properties in the white wine varieties. Further work will be carried out with a larger set of data including additional sensory properties in different white wine varieties in order to validate the method.

Product Description

The bright colour of haemoglobin has, from the very beginning, played a significant role in both the investigation of this compound as well as in the study of blood oxygen transport. Numerous optical methods have been developed for measuring haemoglobin concentration, oxygen saturation, and the principal dyshaemoglobins in vitro as well as in vivo. Modern applications include pulse oximeters, fibre optic oximeters, multiwavelength haemoglobin photometers (co-oximeters) and instruments for near infrared spectroscopy in vivo. Knowledge of the light absorption spectra of the common haemoglobin derivatives is a prerequisite for the development and understanding of these techniques. In the 1960s a reference method based on the absorptivity of a single derivative (haemiglobincyanide; HiCN) at a single wavelength (540 nm) was established for measuring the total haemoglobin concentration. Thus an anchor value was provided on which the absorptivity spectra of all other haemoglobin derivatives could be based. This monograph presents absorption spectra and absorptivity data in the wavelength range of 480 to 1000 nm of the major haemoglobin derivatives for human adult and foetal haemoglobin and for haemoglobin of several animals (cow, dog, horse, pig, rat, and adult and foetal sheep). A detailed description of the methods used to acquire these data has been included to allow future investigators to reproduce and expand on the data. The second part of the monograph includes chapters on the principles and development, in historical perspective, of the principal methods for measuring total haemoglobin concentration for two, three, and multi-component analysis of haemoglobin derivatives, and for blood oxygen saturation measurement. Accurate quantitative data pertaining to haemoglobin in human blood are presented, together with a description of methods for measuring haemoglobin oxygen capacity and oxygen affinity. These chapters have been written with a view to foster knowledge and insight concerning the principles, purposes, and limitations of the various methods of all who use these methods in research and patient care. This monograph should be of value and interest to researchers and postgraduates in clinical chemistry, human physiology, comparative physiology, clinical medicine and lab technology.

Description:
The combination of infrared (MIR) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been employed for the determination of important quality parameters of beers, such as original and real extract and alcohol content. A population of 43 samples obtained from the Spanish market and including different types of beer, was evaluated. For each technique, spectra were obtained in triplicate. In the case of NIR a 1mm pathlength quartz flow cell was used, whereas attenuated total reflectance measurements were used in MIR. Cluster hierarchical analysis was employed to select calibration and validation data sets. The calibration set was composed of 15 samples, thus leaving 28 for validation. A critical evaluation of the prediction capability of multivariate methods established from the combination of NIR and MIR spectra was made. Partial least squares (PLS) and artificial neural networks (ANN) were evaluated for the treatment of data obtained in each individual technique and the combination of both. Different parameters of each methodology were optimized. A slightly better predictive performance was obtained for NIR-MIR combined spectra, and in all the cases ANN performs better than PLS, which may be interpreted from the existence of some non-linearity in the data. The root-mean-sqare-error of prediction (RMSEP) values obtained for the combined NIR-MIR spectra for the determination of real extract, original extract and ethanol were 0.076% w/w, 0.14% w/w and 0.091% v/v.
