In order to study the chemical structure of coal, Yubari coal was subjected to mild hydrogenation and converted to solvent-soluble products. The reaction time was changed from 26 to 206 min. The solvent-soluble product was extracted with n-hexane, benzene, and pyridine successively, which resulted in 5 fractions; oil-1, oil-2, asphaltene, pyridine solubles-1, and pyridine solubles-2. Regarding these hydrogenation reaction products ultimate analysis, high resolution NMR spectroscopy, and molecular weight measurement were carried out and the chemical reaction in the Yubari coal in the course of hydrogenation was followed. From the above structural analysis of the average structural unit was conducted. This was followed by fractionation of the component oil-2 which corresponding to monomers, by GPC and each fraction was measured for /sup 1/H-NMR, /sup 13/C-NMR, GPC, VPO, etc., and the distribution of structural parameters was studied. The findings were correlated and the chemical structure of Yubari coal was tentatively set forth.
