Development and application of analytical techniques to chemistry of donor solvent liquefaction. Quarterly progress report, December 1977--February 1978. [/sup 19/F NMR reagents]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6874906

Major effort during this period was concentrated upon the /sup 19/F NMR technique for characterizing the functional groups present in liquid coal products (solvent refined coal (SRC) fractions). Preliminary NMR examinations of the reaction products of various reagents with model compounds and SRC fractions indicated a number of limitations with these reagents, and criteria were derived for an ''ideal'' NMR reagent for general characterization of a wide range of different functional groups. New /sup 19/F NMR reagents were then examined (trifluoroacetyl chloride, trifluorodiazoethane) and the degree to which they met these criteria was determined. (7 figures) (DLC)
