13C chemical shifts, longitudinal relaxation times and some nuclear Overhauser enhancement factors of individual carbon atoms in the chloroplast lipid, 3-sn-phosphatidylglycerol (pg), have been measured in (D4)methanol and (D)chloroform. Correlation times for individual carbon atoms calculated from these results have been interpreted in terms of different secondary structures: a monomeric structure in (D4)methanol and an inverted micelle in (D)chloroform. Differences in structures between the four major lipid components of the chloroplast membrane are briefly discussed.

13C Chemical shifts, longitudinal relaxation times and some nuclear Overhauser enhancement factors of the individual carbon atoms in the chloroplast lipid, 1,2-diacyl-3-(6-sulpho-α-quinovosyl)-sn-glycerol (sl), have been measured in the three solvents: methanol[D4], chloroform[D] and water[D2]. Correlation times for the individual carbon atoms calculated from these results have been interpreted in terms of different secondary structures: a monomeric structure in methanol[D4], an inverted micellar structure in chloroform[D] and a bilayer vesicular structure in water[D2]. Substituent shift parameters have been determined for the sulphonic acid group from a series of alkanesulphonic acids and these have been used in the 13C chemical shift assignments in sl and a series of model compounds.

The 13C chemical shift and longitudinal relaxation time (T1) of the individual carbon atoms in the two major lipids of chloroplast thylakoids, 1,2-di[(9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoyl]-3- galactosyl-sn-glycerol and 1,2-di[(9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15- trienoyl]-3-digalactosyl-sn-glycerol, have been measured in the three solvents: methanol[D4], chloroform[D] and water[D2]. The longitudinal relaxation time data are interpreted in terms of different secondary structures in the different solvents, a monomeric structure in methanol[D4], an inverted micellar structure in chloroform[D] and a bilayer structure in water[D2]. Two possible correlations times can be obtained from the longitudinal relaxation times of the galactosyl and glyceryl carbon atoms in chloroform[D] and water[D2] and nuclear Overhauser enhancement values have been used to assign the correlation times to these carbon atoms.

With good contrast in T1 and T2 weighted imaging as well as low toxicity in 3- (4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, this work proposes the cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane colloids as a novel non-ionic contrast agent for gastrointestinal magnetic resonance imaging. The experiments of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and relaxation show that within the interface of the colloids, there are nuclear Overhauser effect and transient nuclear Overhauser effect (cross-relaxation). Regarding the longitudinal relaxation experiments of CH2CH2O segments of Tween 80, a two spins system is found and modeled well by the equation [Formula: see text] which is deduced based on the transient nuclear Overhauser effect proposed by Solomon. The arbitrary constant X is additionally added with the initial conditions ( Iz −  I0) t=0 = −2 XS0 and ( Sz −  S0) t=0 = −2 S0. For the two spins system, D1 and T1 are corresponding to longitudinal relaxation times of the bound water and the CH2CH2O respectively. Concerning the transverse relaxation experiments of the CH2CH2O, they agree with the equation with three exponential decays, defined by three relaxation times, likely corresponding to three mechanisms. These mechanisms possibly are intramolecular and intermolecular dipole–dipole (DD) interactions and scalar coupling. Within the interface, hydrogen bonding causes the positive nuclear Overhauser effect of the CH2CH2O’s nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, the transient nuclear Overhauser effect of the CH2CH2O’s longitudinal relaxation experiments and the intermolecular dipole–dipole interactions of the CH2CH2O’s transverse relaxation experiments.

The four diones derived from benzo[a]pyrene oxidation have been characterized by high-field nuclear magnetic resonance techniques including 2-D COSY and selective nuclear Overhauser enhancement. All the proton chemical shifts for these four quinones have been uneqivocally assigned. The direct photoxidation of benzo[a]pyrene gives a product distribution very similar to the TPP photosensitized oxygenation, suggesting singlet oxygen is involved in the former. A major product, which was characterized as the 6-seco derivative 6 and not previously reported, was detected in the singlet oxygen reaction. The presence of this product suggests a possible mechanism for quinone formation in the singlet oxygen reaction. One-electron oxidations of benzo[a]pyrene were carried out using tris(p-bromophenyl)aminium hexachloroantimonate and quenching of the radical cation with superoxide or water. The product distribution in this case was quite different from that obtained in the direct photooxidation.

The conformational equilibrium in [13C-1-methyl]-cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane has been assessed by (a) direct integration of signals due to equatorial and axial methyl carbons in the 13C nmr spectrum at 172 K and (b) by measurement of the 13C chemical shifts of C-1 and C-4 in the spectrum at 300 K. It is concluded that a 13C isotope effect on the position of the degenerate equilibrium in cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane is either nonexistent, or is too small to be detected by methods of analyses employed. The 13C nmr data incidental to the study (chemical shifts, coupling constants, spin–lattice relaxation times, nuclear Overhauser enhancements, and 1-bond isotope shifts) are recorded for the title compound and its trans-isomer.
