Nuclear magnetic resonance has been used to follow the decomposition of aqueous solutions of 2-methyl-Δ2-oxazoline (0.29 M) at constant pH values in the range −1 to 14. The decomposition is first order with respect to total oxazoline at any specific pH, but deviates from the simple reaction of water with the protonated species above pH 5. At neutral pH values this is shown to be partially due to a second reaction involving 2-methyl-Δ2-oxazoline and O-acetylethanolamine which yields N-2-acetoxyethyl N′-2-hydroxyethyl acetamidate. The decrease in rate constant at pH < 2 is accounted for by variation in the water concentration, which is related to the acidity function. A kinetic expression is derived for the decomposition over the whole pH range studied. The decomposition of the amidate is also discussed.

Proton and carbon-13 nmr evidence is presented on the number, stoichiometry, geometry, and stability of the complexes which form when sodium tungstate and (D,L)-thiomalic acid are mixed in aqueous solution at pH values in the range 2–7. In particular, three (or four) complexes are detected having a 1:2 composition (metal–ligand), as well as a less stable complex which seems to be a 1:1 species. Preliminary data are also given on the exchange of bound ligand in these complexes.

The speciation and equilibria of sodium dodecatungstosilicate has been determined using 183W nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy over the pH range 3-13.5. The use of NMR allowed the direct observation of polytungstate anions in aqueous solution and at high concentration (0.5 mol L-1). Using this technique, the speciation of α-[SiW12O40]4-, α-[SiW11O39]8-, α-[NaSiW11O39]7-, α-[H2W12O40]6-, [H8W11O40]6-, [H7W11O40]7-, [W7O24]6-, [H2W12O42]10-, and WO42- was quantified as a function of pH. This work has allowed stability constants for α-[SiW12O40]4- (log K 46) and α-[SiW11O39]8- (log K 86) to be estimated.

13C Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of proline peptides with central antalgic activity (Pro-Arg, Arg-Pro, Pro-Arg-Pro, Pro-Lys-Pro) indicate a predominance of trans conformation at all pH values; but their physiological activities appear to be related to the ability of the C-terminal proline peptides to assume the cis conformation.
