Hi, my introduction + question regarding suitability of NMR

[elegant-math]

Hi,

I am new here, so let me first introduce myself. My name is Ilgis, I have master degree in analytical chemistry (1995) and PhD in applied mathematics (1999). All my scientific and industrial life I worked with numerical mathematics with chemical applications, NMR, MRI, supersonic combustion, etc, so, please, excuse me if my chemical knowledge is not on the top level, and I forget already some important thinks.

Right now I have NMR device (with NOESY and HSQC) that is capable to measure in situ chemical reactions. I tested preliminary with polyester reaction (phthalic anhydride + ethylene glycol - H2O) and polycondensation of aspartic acid, however, I fell that these reactions are not very representative to demonstrate my NMR ability.

Please, would you be so kind to suggest me interesting chemical reaction(s) that I must/can/might run and measure in situ NMR spectra for them.

Sincerely,

Ilgis

I am a bit confused as to why you're trying to do this? Who is 'them,' and what do you need to demonstrate? What is this meant to be representative of?

Thank you for your answer and your kind questions.

 

I build my own NMR device that capable to make in situ measurement and trying to test it.

 

Any well known reaction may be with organometallic components would be perfect, I have multi-frequency (multi-isotope) capability so HSQC and other nD spectra would be beneficial. As I told, by the reaction of phthalic anhydride + ethylene glycol I got already interesting results but it seems very custom reaction.
