The yield of the polysaccharide was 17.2%, and the total carbohydrates, pyruvic acid, sulfuric acid and ash contents were 55.2%, 3.8%, 35.2% and 24.3%, respectively. 3,6-Anhydro-α-D-galactose, β-D-galactose, α-D-galactose and D-glucose were identified by liquid and thin-layer chromatography. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of the polysaccharide resembled that of ι-carrageenan. From the <sup>1</sup>H- and <sup>13</sup>C-NMR spectra, 1,3-linked β-D-galactose, 1,4-linked anhydro-α-D-galactose, 1,4-linked α-D-galactose, 1,4-linked β-D-glucose and pyruvic acid (carboxyl acetal, methyl proton and methyl carbon) were assigned. Methylation analysis revealed terminal D-galactose 0.1 mol), 1,4-linked D-glucose (1.0 mol) and 1,2,3,4,6-linked D-galactose (3.7 mol) for native polysaccharide, and terminal D-galactose, 1,4-linked D-galactose (1.9 mol), 1,4-linked D-glucose (1.0 mol), 1,3- linked D-galactose (1.7 mol), and 1,3,4,6-linked D-galactose (0.3 mol) which substituted with pyruvate group at 4 and 6 positions for desulfated polysaccharide. The polysaccharide was the novel pyruvated glucogalactan sulfate, the structure of which was proposed.展开更多

Namely, the mannans was comb-like structure constructed with the linear <i>α</i>-1,6-linked polymannnosyl backbone and several oligomannnosyl side chains composed of <i>α</i>-1,2-, <i>α</i>-1,3-, and <i>β</i>-1,2-linkages. Therefore, in the structural investigation of comb-like mannan, two-dimensional H-C COSY analysis is as useful as two-dimensional nuclear Hartmann-Hahn (HOHAHA) analysis.展开更多

These extraordinary compounds synergistically combine the desired physical properties of both organic and inorganic components into a single compound offering the possibility to achieve great improvement over time in terms of science across various sectors. Their structures were determined by XRD pattern investigations and single crystal X-ray diffraction. These two compounds are crystallized in the monoclinic system;C2/c space group. In the both structures, the anionic-cationic entities are interconnected by hydrogen bonding contacts and p-p Interaction forming three-dimensional networks. Intermolecular interactions were investigated by Hirshfeld surfaces and the contacts of the four different chloride atoms in (II) were compared. The vibrational absorption bands were identified by infrared spectroscopy. These compounds were also investigated by solid state<sup>13</sup>C NMR spectroscopy.展开更多

CPE of different chlorine contents has been em-ployed and their sequence structure discussed. The results show that characteristic of CPEwith medium chlorine content is the dichloroethane structure in molecular chain. SCS param-etets have been obtained from the ^(13)C NMR spectra. It was found that the effects of chlorinecontent and temperature on SCS are negligible, but the substituent parameter S_1 reduced by0.39 ppm when C_2Cl_4 was added to solvent ODCB.展开更多

In such a complex system, the gauche arrangements of the secondary carbon and the tertiary carbon occupy an important position. Hence, the contribution of the tertiary carbon to the chemical shifts of the secondary carbon has a decisive effect on the sequence structure distribution. In comparison the contribution of vinyl groups is much less. The γ values are: γ_1=-6.37～-6.41 ppm represents the effect of the tertiary carbon and γ_2=0.0～-1.56 ppm the contribution of vinyl. The mean square errors are 0.364 and 0.166×10^(-2) ppm^2, respectively in the two cases of considering the effect of vinyl and vice versa. In this paper, we discuss the effects of model chain type, chain length and temperature on the bond probability. Meanwhile, it is pointed out that there exist a few cases, which are not in accord with the usual distribution in calculation of bond probability. Moreover, the chain structure of syndiotactic 1, 2-PBD is studied in detail with DEPT pulse technique.展开更多
