In situ {sup 1}H NMR measurements have been used to study the pyrolysis behavior of a variety of Australian coals and oil shales. The {sup 1}H NMR signals are sensitive to the molecular dynamics of the hydrogen-containing material in the specimens and it is possible to distinguish contributions to these signals from the proton populations of structural components with different molecular mobilities. In this paper {sup 1}H NMR thermal analysis data for a range of Australian oil shale kerogen materials and coorongite are discussed in relation to the molecular/thermal transformation model proposed for the Rundle alginite kerogen.
