A basic spectrophotometric study of a commercially produced sodium salt of Kraft lignin (Indulin C) was performed. The method of quantitative determination of Indulin C based on its absorbance at 276 nm has been found to be applicable. The spectra were also studied by means of derivative UV-spectrophotometry, which is recommended for theoretical studies of electronic spectral behaviour of lignins and lignin model compounds. Linear dependences were found between Indulin C concentration and the second derivative of spectrum at 250 nm and 276 nm. Both methods were used for determining the lignin degrading ability of the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium and their suitability is discussed.

Abstract Derivative UV-spectrophotometric and liquid chromatographic (LC) methods for fleroxacin determination were validated. In the spectrophotometric assay, first-, second-, third-, and fourth-order measurements were applied with the use of peak–zero and peak–peak techniques. The linear correlation between amplitude of the peak and concentration of the examined drug ranged from 2.0 to 12.0 μg/mL. An isocratic LC analysis was performed on a Purospher ODS column with an acidic mobile phase containing tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. Measurements were made at a wavelength of 285 nm with 4-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) as internal standard. The calibration curve was linear (r = 0.9999) in the studied range of concentration (1.0–10.0 μg/mL). The accuracy (mean recovery, about 100%), precision (relative standard deviation <1%), selectivity, and sensitivity of the elaborated methods were satisfactory.

Abstract A small library of 6-substituted syringyl model compounds with aliphatic, carboxylic, phenylic, benzylic alcohols and brominated substituents were prepared. The influence of the substituents on the chemical shifts of the compounds was analyzed. All of model compounds showed a characteristic increase in the 13C NMR chemical shift of the methoxy group vicinal to the substitution. This 13C NMR peak and its corresponding correlation peak in HSQC could potentially be used to identify 6-condensation in syringylic lignin samples.
