Elucidating structural characteristics of biomass using solution-state 2 D NMR with a mixture of deuterated dimethylsulfoxide and hexamethylphosphoramide
Abstract
Abstract Recent developments of NMR methods for characterization of lignocellulosic biomass allow improved understanding of plant cell‐wall structures with minimal deconstruction and modification of biomass. This study introduces a new NMR solvent system composed of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO‐ d 6 ) and hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA‐ d 18 ). HMPA as a co‐solvent enhanced swelling and mobility of the biomass samples; thereby it allowed enhancing signals of NMR spectra. The structural information of biomass was successfully analyzed by the proposed NMR solvent system (DMSO‐ d 6 /HMPA‐ d 18 ; 4:1, v / v ) with different biomass. The proposed bi‐solvent system does not require derivatization or isolation of biomass, facilitating a facile sample preparation and involving with no signals overlapping with biomass peaks. It also allows analyzing biomass with a room‐temperature NMR probe instead of cryo‐probes, which are traditionally used for enhancing signal intensities.
