A partial least squares model has been generated enabling the rapid assessment of ordered molecular structure in a semi-crystalline polymer, starch, directly from solid state NMR spectra.

13C solid-state NMR spectra (CP/MAS) were recorded for mannan polymorphs: mannan I ("ivory nut") and mannan II (Codiumfragile). These pure mannans, poly-β-(1 → 4) mannopyranose, show a single resonance for each carbon of the chemical repeat unit. This is the expected result based on the crystalline P212121 and 1222 symmetries. The T1 values were also recorded and the results are compared to those for cellulose obtained from the literature. The much lower mobility of C-6, even in noncrystalline mannan, compared to native cellulose is attributed to the epimeric difference at C-2 between cellulose and mannan allowing intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the former but not the latter. Keywords: mannan, solid state NMR, T1 relaxation, polysaccharide, ivory nut.

Two different formulations of cyclodextrin nanosponges (CDNS), obtained by polycondensation of β-cyclodextrin with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dianhydride (EDTAn), were treated with aqueous solutions of ibuprofen sodium salt (IbuNa) affording hydrogels that, after lyophilisation, gave two solid CDNS-drug formulations. 1H fast MAS NMR and 13C CP-MAS NMR spectra showed that IbuNa was converted in situ into its acidic and dimeric form (IbuH) after freeze-drying. 13C CP-MAS NMR spectra also indicated that the structure of the nanosponge did not undergo changes upon drug loading compared to the unloaded system. However, the 13C NMR spectra collected under variable contact time cross-polarization (VCT-CP) conditions showed that the polymeric scaffold CDNS changed significantly its dynamic regime on passing from the empty CDNS to the drug-loaded CDNS, thus showing that the drug encapsulation can be seen as the formation of a real supramolecular aggregate rather than a conglomerate of two solid components. Finally, the structural features obtained from the different solid-state NMR approaches reported matched the information from powder X-ray diffraction profiles.

The molecular structure of tri(2-thienyl)borane (1) was determined [monoclinic, space group P21/ c; a = 12.216(2), b = 7.765(2), c = 12.605(2) Å, β = 93.13(2)°]; two of the three thienyl groups are disordered, as is also indicated by the solid-state 13C CP/MAS NMR spectrum of 1. The 13C NMR spectra of 1 were measured at variable tem perature in solution and the barrier to rotation about the B-C bonds was found to be <35 kJ/mol. Thus, CB(pp)π interactions must be regarded as rather weak, in spite of suggestive δ11 B. δ13C data and structural parameters.

The 13C CP/MAS NMR solid-state NMR technique was used to detect the presence of β-D-glucan and trace compounds in samples prepared from dried, naturally grown oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) and commercially available products of dried, specially cultivated oyster mushroom and β-D-glucan isolated from this mushroom. The NMR spectra of all samples displayed signals typical for (1→3, 1→6)-β-D-glucan; however, signals which could be assigned to other trace compounds—(1→3)-α-glucan, chitin, and proteins—were also observed in the spectra. The amount of trace compounds was negligible in the commercially available products.

Differences between the solid-state13C CP-MAS NMR spectra of holemic samples of the two enantiomers of 2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′-binaphthyl (binol) were not sufficiently emphatic to reliably distinguish them, though they are readily distinguishable from the spectrum of the bimate of the compound crystallized from an equimatic sample. Inducing an additional chiral environment by cocondensation with sucrose as a chiral selector (CS) provided a method to yield differential spectra for the two enantiomers and thus effect enantiodifferentiation by way of solid-state NMR using weak interactions from a CS.

ABSTRACTThe thermosetting mechanism of an organosilicon polymer containing carborane has been studied utilizing the 13and 29Si solid-state NMR method. The polymer having C≡C bonds in the main chain and CH═CH2, Si-H bonds, and carborane in the bulky side chain, shows a very highly thermal stability in air by curing. From 13C and 29Si NMR spectra of the polymer, it was found that the intermolecular cross-linking reactions of the polymer was due to (1) the diene reaction between Ph-C≡C and C≡C and (2) the addition reaction between side chain terminal and Ph-C≡C and between CH═CH2 and Si–H, and a very highly thermal stable structure is formed.
